how long do i have to wait for email confirming interview date?

[dwheels76 5,468]

Today I received an e-mail from the embassy- they rescheduled my interview to Aug 26th (it was originally on July 31st)

This is terrible news because I purchased a ticket for Aug 31st :S

If Venezuela was a 'normal' country I would simply change the date of the ticket; however most airlines have left Venezuela and it is almost impossible to buy new tickets at the moment. Only a few airlines still have tickets, but they can only be purchased in US dollars and they cost over 2000$ (In Venezuela there are strict currency exchange controls and it is not too easy to obtain dollars here) . Oh, and they only fly to Miami

I bought the tickets on April, because at that time some tickets were still available and affordable, and I thought that I would have my visa by Aug 31st... And this would have been totally possible if my interview date was on July 31st, as it was originally scheduled..

I replied the e-mail explaining the situation, and mentioning that we originally requested an expedited interview, and it was granted... So what's the point of having an expedite if this is going to happen?

The Venezuelan embassy is not very busy- right now it is a little busier than normal because Diversity Visa Applicants are having their interviews on August... I'm sure that after rescheduling they put me at the end of the line

Dang I am so sorry that is terrible. I hope it all works out. Will the airline comply. I mean you send them the letter from embassy and all. Goodness sorry.

So, worst case scenario, and I can't reschedule my interview, and I can't attend because I'm not physically able after my surgery, what would happen?

You can either change and move it out or wait and reschedule once you feel you are ready. Most embassies scheduled out at least 45 days. (I did this 2 times with the same petition).

But do let them know you won't attend.

OK, thanks, I just didn't want to find ourselves in a situation where we had to start all over again ... as soon as I can get some sort of contact with them I do intend getting a new date for when I'll be done with my surgery

If you filled out that contact form thingy, they do respond within 5 days. It would be lovely if we could get a human on the phone!
