Hello members,

I just received my interview date 2 months in advance! - 23rd May 2011. Why is it scheduled so far from today? I have heard that Chennai consulate is not that busy with regards to IV.

Any thoughts?

Regards,

Ram

On a given day of assigning interviews, the applicant has as much chance of May 1 as they do May 31 or any day of the available month. Be thankful it wasn't the 31st. The idea that your interview is scheduled on the first available day is a falsehood. It's random within the available days of the available month.

Why complain--you have really good news !!!

Complain... hmmmm because why is it so far? Why not late April or early May?!! My case was complete on 3rd March. Good in a way, this gives me time to look for a job in US as well from here in India.

All the best to every body here.

Hey, at least it's not 5-7 months, like Montreal was there for a while. Why is it 2 months out? Because that's when the consulate had free time. Take it as the blessing it is, quit complaining that it's not the day after your case complete, and put the time to good use in making sure all your documentation is in order; your medical is done; and planning your move.

Holding my nose and jumping off the cliff.. hope I don't hit any rocks in the water.

I told you why. Interviews are not assigned for the earliest possible day. The are assigned randomly to available days in the earliest available month a second before your date was set, somebody got the first of May and second later it was the 31st. That's how they do it. It's randomly generated by a computer.

exactly my sentiments - dont complain and count your blessings. think about it as having ample time for planning when you can come here, look for plane tix in advance and all that. best of luck!
