Moving Interview date

[Cameron84 0]

Hi all,

Wanna thank VJ for how much help they have been!

I'm applying for a K1, have received my interview date and am just now collecting documents. I've found the whole process unnecessarily cryptic! But whatever, I'll get there.

My question is thus - my appointment date is 28th July, I'll be ready well before then however and was wondering, has anyone had any success asking for an earlier appointment?

I'm pretty sure I don't qualify for an emergency appointment, and wouldn't risk that anyway, but is it possible to call/email and request an earlier appointment if there is a cancellation? Do people cancel these things?

Any success with any embassy appreciated, much love if it's Sydney embassy.

Cheers!

Was your interview scheduled by your embassey or by you. If you filled in a timeline that would make it easier for others to advise you.

As far as I remember, Australia assigned you your interview date, correct? I have read a specific thread on here for Sydney where the person asked for a change of date and the embassy told her flat out that there are no other interview dates but offered to put her on a sort of wait list in case a slot opens up/someone cancels. But her correspondence with them confused her more because of their vague answers and she found it hard to get in touch with them afterwards.

I think it's ok to try and request for an earlier one. People cancel all the time. If I am allowed to keep my date and be on a wait list for something sooner, I would jump on that in a heartbeat.

Yes you are correct, the embassy gave me the interview time. That's encouraging to hear there may be a waitlist, I will phone them to ask!

Cameron84 I would like to try for an earlier appointment too - what number are you going to call? I've found it difficult to find direct phone numbers.
