Possibility of rescheduling interview

[phub11 0]

Hi visajourney-ers.

After a month since I filed Packet 3, I finally have an interview date - 11th June. 6 more weeks seems a long time to wait!!!

Anyway, since we began applying for the visa at the beginning of December, we had conservatively estimated that a mid-June wedding would be fine. However, the logistics are such that the next date we could do would be mid/late-July (we want as much of the family there as possible). The interview date kinda nixes the June wedding.

My question - is it possible to reschedule a visa interview? I assume that during the next 6 weeks there will be cancellations - so could I be put on a waiting list for an earlier interview date? I think I could get to the embassy within 24 hours notice.

Impatient? You betcha - we've been dating 3 years, and after living with her for so long, this long distance thing is becoming a bit of a drag!

Oh, I doubt this makes any difference in procedure, but I'm having the interview in London - UK.

Cheers!

Never plan the wedding date until visa in hand...no matter when interview is, you are not assured of the outcome or when

NEVER SAY NEVER

because you never know!!!!!

I know this guy in Ukraine who called to embassy couple of times and got his interview date rescheduled from later to the earlier date

so, NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!

Call to embassy and TRY

GOOD LUCK TO YOU

London has been known to be very understanding when Wedding plans are involved actually. I think they work better if you include it in your cover letter when you send back packet 3 but def call them and get an email code - explain everything and keep your fingers crossed.

Good luck and keep us posted

I agree - we've not got anything set in stone. We are just hoping to have a date to tell people in the area so they can keep a given weekend free!

Thanks for the suggestions....

I shall probably call them every so often to see if they have a cancellation (though the premium rate line will limit the frequency at which I'll being doing it).

Cheers!

You should give it a try.. I too remember one couple who got their interview scheduled sooner than it was originally set, almost everyone told them it was not possible, but it was
