Hi Guys

My case has been completed by NVC, I received the letter today. It took pretty much the entire 60 days. No checklists.

Original scan date was 28 November 2014.

Problem is - I am already in the US (due to some emergency travel I had to make because my husband was undergoing surgery) on a visa waiver program. My flight back is not until April 10.

Does anyone know of, or heard of either 1. Postponing the interview date 2. Interviewing inside the US? My case is being handled by the US Consulate in Sydney.

It's a real drag having to fly back all the way to Australia!

Any help would be appreciated

I am willing to bet that if you wait until you get your interview date and then talk to the embassy about your situation they will postpone. However it is quite possible that you won't be scheduled until April anyway.... it depends on your consulate. You can always call NVC and asK too. interested to see what people will suggest :)

You won't be able to interview in the US. You'll need to return to Australia and get your medical done there as well as the interview.

If your interview gets scheduled after the date you return, contact the US embassy directly and explain you'll need your interview rescheduled (and mention it has to be after April 10th). They'll then re-schedule the interview for you, no problems.

People have to re-schedule interviews all the time due to timing issues. Just be aware, depending on how busy the embassy is, it could be months later for your re-scheduled interview date.

hmmm so how does that work , do they take it back and try to deliver tomorrow?

I think so. If it's an emergency situation then they will not try to deliver today. What's the status showing?
