I'm trying to get my interview rescheduiled also but the embassy have responded with this:

Please explain why you are unable to attend the interview as scheduled.

What reason did you give to get your date changed as you've been very lucky to get yours brought forward quite considerably.

Congrats by the way.

What reasons have others given for asking for their date to be brought forward? Will they refuse if the reason I give is not good enough?

When is your interview scheduled?..... I just said that i was ready to go and that my CC was June 15th and that i was annoyed that i seemed to have been scheduled so sour of sync with the others. I just got an email back saying that it had been arranged for 2nd September 8:00am and that the confirmation was in the post .....

Really?? When I looked at Google Flights ages ago, the end of August was the cheapest ... for London anyway. Try googling "(Point A Airport) to (Point B Airport)" (ex. IAH to LHR) for your flight and look at the data trends to gauge the cheapest airlines and prices. Also, look on skyscanner.net! ^_^

I just got an email back saying that it had been arranged for 2nd September 8:00am and that the confirmation was in the post .....

Looks like you've been incredibly lucky. Or I've been unlucky. When I asked them for it to be brought forward they have simply told me no.

My interview is scheduled for September 23rd and my Case Complete was July 11th. So that's two and a half months between the two!

Seems to be no rhyme or reason to it and they really wanted to know why I wanted it changed. Perhaps they only offer a new slot if one is available and when I asked there wasn't one. Leads me to believe it might be worth asking again in a couple of days or so.

No there's no rule they have to notify you 30 days in advance. I have seen them when they use to schedule the 2nd week of the month people got 1 week notice.

I have updated you on spreadsheet. Congratulations.

Bdrew612 the weirdest thing happened when i went out for lunch today. It was 2:30pm I am sitting in this Houston heat at a traffic jam. I look up and I see British Airways plane coming in for landing (I am down the road from George Bush International). And it just welled up in me. Just thinking of you all coming home together well my heart was just overcome with joy. :cry:(L) .... I know I a big old softie. hehe
