Rescheduling Embassy Interview

[kjcamara 6]

I read somewhere here, but can't find again, that there is a way that once you get your Visa embassy interview date you can reschedule the date to an earlier date if there is a cancellation or opening. This would be for the embassy in Manila, Philippines. Can someone tell me how to do that? Thank you.

continue to watch your status on the ceac site to change to READY. Once it says that that means the embassy has your petition file and you can contact them and request an earlier date. Good luck.

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Process & Procedures to US Embassy & Consulate Discussion; topic is about this phase of the process.

I did get an interview date; but I might have made a mistake or not.

I may have made a big mistake, but maybe it will be alright. For background see this forum thread about our situation:

I was told by several people that for the Manila embassy that you could schedule your embassy interview as soon as you get you NVC MNL number. That you also could sign up on-line with SLEC and go for your medical without waiting for NVC letter. What people did't make sure to tell me was that is only for K-1 visas, not CR-1. My fault for not truly fully checking.

I called the embassy number and asked if I could set up an interview because our son is starting Kindergarten at the end of August and wanted to get a slot to get him to school as soon as we could so he would not miss as much. The lady at the embassy was accommodating and set the interview.

I found out after that what I did might not work. That the CO might not accept us that day and may make us come back on the day NVC scheduled. I hope it works because I bought plane tickets already. We can only pray now.

My wife did go to SLEC early. She really wanted to get cleared in case she got a positive to do the Sputum test which you have to wait 2 months for the results. Everything was OK though and no sptum test required,

I hope I answered your questions.
