So what's a person to do for travel arrangements?

I get limited time off, let's say I get two weeks off in October or November. I fly to India a day before the interview to be there to support my wife. Let's say she gets approved, but then we might be left hanging until the visa is printed and couriered. I hope to have my wife travel with me to the US.

How does one go about booking a last minute flight; it'll be so expensive.

That's why I hate this uncertainty.. at NVC, and at the embassy.

I'm the same boat KierenHby. I had reserved a few wks in September because our attorney had estimated we might get an interview for that mth. At my job, we can only take time off one at a time. I hadn't taken any vacation time this yr to save but now I will be forced to take a few days off because if I don't use it I will loose it. Now I don't know if I should reserve vacation again for another mth or just wait for the interview.

I had seen some open-ended plane tickets available but they are so expensive. They are tipled the price for a regular ticket.

I say they take my long standing idea. At Case Complete NVC opens up the ustraveldocs.gov portal so you can schedule your own dang um interview. How about that. I mean why is it K1 can and you can't?

You will have a 6 month period from your day of visa issued to travel. Unless you want to fly the same week you get your visa. I suggest wait for it.

Until the visa is in your hand DO NOT book anything. You never know if there could be an issue which would impact the issuance/printing of your visa.

If you are willing to buy a refundable ticket, or ticket which allows you to delay your trip, go for it.

But most of the good deal tickets charge hefty price for cancelling or rescheduling.

Thanx you guys!!!!

Silly question: Would anyone know if NVC would approve an expedite request for an interview if the petitioner's work has a vacation black out period starting at the end of October for a few wks?

Not a chance, the petitioner is not required to attend the interview anyway.

They deny expedite requests for people expecting babies.
