The best and easier way is that Reschedule your flight to meet with your interview timeline if it is just your plane arrival issue.

Switching the interview date means, it could be anything. In other words, delays could be beyond Feb or more.

I tried to change the date before I made this post. I cannot change the date of my trip. So I would still like to know how to go about changing the date of interview.

Be honest, it is more better to change the trip date even it costs an extra money. It is worth! Reschedule the interview date can be any amount of delay for future interview date.

Overall, you may contact to Embassy to check your case. May be, they can consider something for you.

Hi! Did you try contacting the Visa Information and Appointment Service at (632) 982-5555 or (632) 902-8930? Got the numbers from the Manila embassy website. My husband and I were going to try to reschedule so he could use his free PAL miles to fly here, but we ultimately decided to just pay the high peak season rate and stick with the schedule given by NVC. I did call the hotline once to inquire. The first thing they'll ask for is your wife's passport number, then the expiration date and her name.

That is what I did before i went to bed last night. First I tried to change through the chat option they have, but it didn't seem the operator was familiar with the process. Then I tried the number, they asked for passport number, date of issuance, date of expiration, priority number, case number, and beneficiary's email address. It was really very easy over the phone, just taking about 10 minutes, and we got a date just a few days after the original, which was all I needed. Our new date is February 1.

Good luck to you!
