All,

When is the best time to call the 1888 service to schedule my fiancées interview? I have called in three times since last week, and each time, I am told that the Embassy has not released any dates yet for November or December for k1 interviews. Does anyone know when/they do this? Is there a certain date the Embassy notifies the call center that they can schedule interviews? Frustrating to keep calling in, and being told Check back in a few days....

Thanks!

I experienced the same type of things back when I was trying to get an appointment for my wife. They refuse to tell you exactly when the appointments will be issued and would always say to try back in another week. My experience and research led me to believe that the appointments will not be issued until the remaining available date were either filled or had passed. However history seems to indicate that the 3rd week of the month (starting today) was the best time to call. This is only from my experience so it may not be the same for you. Don't get frustrated. I told the lady who answers that I would call her every day until I was able to get an appointment and she hinted to me to call back on a Monday of the following week. I did and was given appointments for my wife and son. Also, when you purchase the pin to make the calls, you are told that it is for 3 calls or a limited time. I actually called 12 times for various lengths of time and always used the same pin successfully so give it a try. It may not work for you but it did for me.
