Questions about rescheduling

[Redvelvet215 3]

So This what's up. When I found out the day of my interview, I went to my supervisor and ask him if I can have that day and day before off and I am schedule 3 days before and two days afterwards off. So all I need is those two days. The day of the interview and the day before. (I work 12 hour shift manufacturing, so you know long hours, less days). He said yes if I can get someone to come in to replace me. (because during the christmas and new year's holiday we can not request days off because the company shut down on the 24, 25,26 and 27.) So I was like cool. I booked my plane, reserved my hotel, reserved a rental and paid for my parking space at the airport. So I got ready to go to work today. I called my fiance to remind him I will see him in two weeks , just because I am excited. I get to work to come and find out the guy that is suppose to cover me those today got fired yesterday and my surpervisor said that I have to work. I asked around seeing if someone will cover me but nothing. So I can call out because he already know and plus it's my job that will be providing the income for my fiance and his kids and myself, I can not just not show up to the interview nor cancel. The worst of them all is that the interview is 10 days away. Can you schedule interviews and if yes, is my reason even a good reason for them to reschedule? How long do I have to wait this time if they do decide to rechudle. I waited so long now.

From what I have read from another member doing this, what the Embassy requested they do is send a notarized letter with their fiance stating why they could not attend and that they would allow for an open interview at a later date. But you have to attend. So I suggest you contact the Embassy right away by email as it will take them 2 business days to get back with you. Too bad they won't let you trade days I sure would trade with ya...LOL...but seriously contact them asap. I would even trying calling as well. Best of luck to you!

Wow that really stinks. Have you explained to your supervisor of the circumstances of why you will need those days off?not sure if your company allows this but even if it means taking those to days as a leave no pay? I know it sucks not to get paid but atleast they may grant it to you? so sorry wish I could be of better help.

Yeah I told them.. I am new so I do not have any vacation time so that is why I was willing to trade but, they laid off so many people for the christmas bonus that now, he won't let me take off. I do not want to be one of those people that they let go but, I want to be here with my fiance because they said it is suicide if the other one do not attend.. oh my I will contact them and find out about rescheduling because, I will hate to do this all over again, I can't take being away from him much longer.

Hey, sorry that you are going througj this, but have you thought of keeping the date and just having your fiance go down on his own? I have heard in some cases that the petitioner has to be there but I have also heard/seen in some cases where the ben. Attend the interview on his/her own and takes all support documents, and explains to the IO the reason why petitioner was unable to attend the cita. In some case it has worked out well and in some cases they have resched. The interview so petitioner could be there. I would consider to speak with your fiance if he is comfortable of doing on his own. If not see if you can get it for a later date. I wish you nothing but the best and hope all works out well for you!
