My fiance was suppose to have his interview on sept 17, but since there was a problem with his medical and the CO at the Mumbai Consulate would not give him a interview till they received the xray test results from the hospital, which from our understanding from the medical personal that the results will be mailed to the consulate.

My question is what happens if my fiance does not get the phone call from the consulate for his interview date or the interview is set up and pass nov 9? Will we have to start over again? I am planning on flying to India for Dewali, so should we just go ahead and marry if this is the case?

If the interview is past Nov 9th, they will automatically extend the expiration date. I would suggest going to the Indian forum to see if there are any requirements such as a notarized letter of intent for the interview, etc.

Ok, but what if November 9th comes and he never receives a phone call from the consulate for his new interview date. Will the petition expire and we have to start all over again? I been searching and searching to see what happens if this happens and I cant find no answers and I have no been able to get ahold of the Mumbai Consulate either.

To give you some peace of mind. My petition expired in January of 2013 and my K-1 interview was on February 26, 2013. I am here in the USA, married and adjusting status. As I said earlier they will automatically extend the expiration date. Look in the Indian forum to see if there are any specifics (ex. notarized letter of intent) you need for them to extend the expiration. If the Consulate will not schedule an interview until after they have received the medical results, that is on them, though, I would call the Mumbai Consulate to see if they have received the medical results and whether they have sched. an interview or not.

Thanks for your help. I have tried calling Mumbai and they have been of no help. Fiance and I went ahead and decided that if we dont get this solved by the time I come for Dewali, we will most likely just marry. Again thanks for your response.
