I just got a call from the consulate in Mumbai and was told that my interview scheduled for July 25th has been rescheduled to August 14th.

I was given no reason for the reschedule and I haven't requested one either.

Has this happened to anyone before ?

Yeah we have gotten a call to but unfortunately my fiancee did not answer it as she didn't realize it was from Mumbai Embassy. Now that I looked at Mumbai website, our case number is not present in July. So I think we have been switched to August too. This really is bad.

Yes, there is no interviews published from July 13th until the 29th and they have been rescheduled to further dates. I haven't received any call or email yet. Will call the consulate today and find the reason and the date. I was initially scheduled for July 24th..It really is bad when we have been waiting for this day so long!!

It happened to me tooo!!!! This is the first time i am hearing/ heard of rescheduling interview dates by the consulate. We were initially scheduled for an Interview in July as well (which is after 2.5 months from closing our case) and My wife recieved a call from the consulate. When asked for a reason, she was told to contact the people who scheduled the interview and there will be no mails sent (Seriously...??? ####### are you to calling me then?).... I called up the Consulate to check the call was not a fraud and to ask for a valid reason and it was told that it was due to the Holidays.. I have no idea what holidays on this planet falls between those days.. However, I have written an email to the consulate mentioning that we had travel reservations already made for the dates as per the initial letter. I have mentioned that I am not willing to shell out a good sum of money for the unknown holidays reason. I am a US citizen and i deserve every right to know.
