recheduling CR-1 interview

[resident 0]

Hello,

I need some help with rescheduling. I have my interview set in early May 8 but can't make it due to some unseen circumstances. Has anyone had any expierence changing an interview date with the montreal embassy?

Nope.

That's only for K1.

I'll be honest. Rescheduling is VERY VERY hard to do with Montreal because it can take them 1-2 weeks to respond to the online form. That is the only method of communication you have with the consulate.

You may also encounter confusion if the reschedule isn't fully processed all the way down the line as well. You may get the interview rescheduled at one level, but the notification may not make it all of the way down the line. The interviewer may still be expecting you to show up, so make sure you have hard copies of proof that your appointment is rescheduled if you succeed in doing this. That has happened to a number of VJers, causing delays and all sorts of other problems that took time to sort out.

In all honesty, I know that unforeseen circumstances do happen, but you should do whatever you can to try and attend that interview date.

1 reason why some feel it necessary to change---the Spouse can't be at the interview. Maybe nice for sentimental reasons, and support, but thats about it~ Canada is not a high fraud country, so the spouse is not expected to be at the interview. Mine wasn't--they did ask, and I said she was at work. The interview--if you have all your paperwork in order, is normally the easiest part of the whole process. Majority of the time spent at the consulate, is waiting. The people that do run into some issues are ones that don't have all thier paperwork (some make a post here on VJ, and list what they are bringing--so people can double check it) and others that were born or lived in a country that is not on good terms with the USA. And some that have high tech degrees that deal with chemicals,lol Best of luck
