Changing date of interview in London

[Jonny Marr 0]

Hi, everyone! Not sure if this is in the correct forum but it might get me some more replies (I hope).

I received my visa interview date yesterday but it is for the 25th October, when I will be in the US visiting my fiancee(typical of my luck).

I contacted the Embassy yesterday and the lovely woman on the phone told me to email londoniv@state.gov and include my passport number and case number.

She didn't state anything in particular that needs to go in the subject box and I didn't think to ask at the time.

I have yet to receive a reply. Am I just being impatient or should I have at least received some confirmation of receipt by now?

Please help as I'm getting very frustrated and worried now!

Thank you

Give it 48 hours then call them again. They get swamped with emails but they DO respond.

Good luck!

I had a similar experience. My interview was meant to be in October, but unfortunately I will be out of the country. I called the premium rate phone number, and the guy told me to send an email to londoniv@state.gov with my interview date, when I was NOT available, my NVC case number, and full name, DOB. I was told I'd hear back within five days... and nothing.

Called the premium rate number again, and this time, the guy told me a code to use. Apparently you actually only need the code for the consular email address, but in my experience, my first email was essentially ignored, and my second email - avec code - was replied to within two days with a new date scheduled.

Moral of the story: call back, get the email code - forward your original email, so they can see you have already tried to contact the IV dept, but add the code into the subject line. I think I wrote "Interview reschedule – THECODEHERE" as the subject. Like I said, got a response within two days, as opposed to the 1-2 weeks they imply.
