Delaying interview with the consulate?

[configuration 2]

Hi there,

I have an interview with Montreal on November 5th for a CR1 visa.

I am thinking about requesting a later date. I'm currently at my wife's place in the US, since we just had a newborn baby. It is hard for me to schedule two trips back to Montreal in the next month, one for the medical and one for the interview, given that i don't want to leave my wife alone with the baby for too long. So I am thinking of contacting the Montreal consulate to see if they will give me a later date(ideally a month later).

Is this a good idea? Any idea if they would be receptive to this request? Has anyone here done this? My biggest concern is that requesting a later interview may delay it much more than 1 month.

I'm sure the process of booking interviews for K1 and CR1 are similar. I had to cancel my original interview as well. I tried to do this online but ran into problems, so I called the number on my confirmation email from them. I had no troubles at all. The lady was helpful in switching dates and within seconds I got another date and email confirmation.

Not a problem for me. Happens all the time....heck, things happen!

Good luck with it and the newborn!

The only number available to call the Montreal consulate is an after hours, emergency number to be used by US citizens.

There's no way to call up the Montreal consulate. Also, it varies greatly on how long it takes to get your passport back after your interview. Could be as little as 2 days or it could be weeks.
