By the way, for anyone wondering: I called the operator last night to ask about changing the date - she said that once the file is forwarded to the Embassy, you can re-schedule with them. The NVC just makes the 1st appointment and after that, the Embassy takes care of your case starting from now on.

I don't know if any one has tried this yet, but I wanted to give a heads up in case anyone was thinking about doing this.

I called to ask because, Hadrien, wanted to spend X-Mas with us in LA so I thought, hey, why not give it a shot - even though, selfishly, I am ECSTATIC his interview date fell right in the middle of Christmas break. It means I can take time off work, go to Paris, spend x-mas with my grand-parents, uncles, aunts and cousins, I can see my friends, we can throw a huge good-bye party for Hadrien, then I bring him back with me and help him take his stuff in the plane.....yes, I created a huge fantasy-land world in my head right now. :lol:

p.s. I feel like we all made Saylin super proud by getting our interview dates. Let us all give her a round of applause for being so helpful and encouraging. (F)

p.p.s. Looking forward to hearing good news from the rest of you this week and next!!!! LETS DO THIS!

I've seen a few cases where people emailed the embassy/consulate, requesting an earlier interview date (with no real emergency or reason, just to be with their loved one sooner), and their request was granted! So once your case has landed at your embassy, definitely shoot an email asking for an earlier date. You might just get it! Good luck :)

And yes, I'm always super happy and proud when people in the thread get their case completes and more importantly, their interview dates! I just feel SO happy for everyone :) It brings me back to March when I got my own interview date scheduled and was on a high for a few days. I've been like smiling non-stop since I saw so many people get interview dates yesterday.

You can call the AVR at NVC and it states "Your case was completed on. Oct 27."

Good luck at the interview

Actually, my case is one of the few that isn't available through the AVR. We have to press 5 every single time! So frustrating... :bonk:

Thank you! :) I so hope that you will get your interview date soon!!!
