Can you change interview date?

[Cam54 84]

My fiancée is coming to stay for 2 weeks in October which should be roughly when my interview is but if it falls out of that time can I call them and change it? I also don't have any work holiday left so would have difficulty having another day off anyway outside of those 2 weeks

Hi,

You can chnage the interview date but I wouldn't change if I were you. By the way your fiance can attend your interview as well.

Yeh I want him there that's why I want the interview then! Why shouldn't I change it tho?

Apologies I misunderstood your post. Yes get it changed since it will be very helpful to have him at the interview. You will find the details on how to change interview date on your P4 interview letter.

When you send back your DS-2001 readiness for Interview form, they ask for wedding date, etc in a cover letter. That info is for their scheduling. You may add a request to that --

"If possible, may I request that my interview be assigned between October x and October y. My fiancé from the United States will be in the UK at that time and would like to accompany me to London."

I've already sent off my ds2001 , Hopefully I can change it to then anyway

I was going by your VJ timeline that doesn't indicate you have sent anything and your signature says waiting on APCO and medical. When was your medical exam. When did you send DS-2001.

Had medical on Wednesday but they nee more info so gona b a couple of weeks apparently for my drs to send it off to them cos lets face it it's the NHS and they're eternally understaffed. Sent my ds2001 about 2 weeks before that

Then my best suggestion to you is --

1) keep up with NHS to know when they send the info

2) then call Knightsbridge to confirm the date they sent the medical forms.

3) then contact the embassy via the contact form and say "LNDXXXXXX. My forms and medical results have arrived at the embassy and I am ready to interview. May I please request an interview be assigned between October x and October y. My fiancé from the United States will be in the UK at that time and would like to accompany me to London. Please add his name to the list as attending the interview and confirm by email. His name is (give name on his passport).

Sending or calling before you are eligible for interview stands the chance of being forgotten when the time comes. Asking for a change after assignment may mean the slots are already filled. Getting a request when everything is in and you are eligible, may prompt them to pull your file and assign the interview right then for the time window you request.

Tick the reason " I would like to add the name of my U.S. citizen spouse/child to my IV appointment."
