My fiance and I are coming up on our interview date at the American Embassy in Phnom Penh for her K-1 visa. She has just been hospitalized with a non-communicable, yet serious illness that will require her to miss our interview date. What procedures must I follow to request an extension if this is even possible? Im thinking 6 months is appropriate for her recovery. Does anyone have any experience with a similar situation? I dread having to re-file and wait another year for us to be together.

Just email the embassy and tell them what is going on and you will contact them once she is better. Be sure to have your case# and Beneficiaries name in Subject line with Move Inyerview date.Dont say cancel say you want to move it so they don't send your petition back or make it expire.

I wouldn't ask for reschedule now wait until you knwo when she is better she may be better in 2 months or 8 months.

Also you will want to ask about the expiry on the Visa application will they also extend that. That is the most important part.

Sorry about your finacee' hope she gets better real soon.

Sorry to hear that and hope she is doing better soon. Rescheduling the interview should be as easy as writing to the embassy and explaining the situation to them. We had to do that in our case because of a delay in getting the paperwork together and it wasn't an issue. Best of luck!
