Quick responses please and thanks in advance ...

 

fiancees interview date is August 20, but our validation date is until Aug 27....do we need to file extension or will we be fine? 

 

She got letter and instructions 3 days ago, so seems weird they would schedule so late

Firstly no it won't be a problem. You can just in case send your fiancé a new letter of intent to marry for her to take to the interview. that's all

 

I don't think interview is scheduled by the embassy in Tokyo (as I scheduled and rescheduled it by myself)... You can reschedule it earlier when there is an opening, but need to check that regularly to catch it. There are quite many openings happening every week.

So where would I direct my fiancée to go in order to check on an opening for an earlier interview date? Would that be on the embassy website, do you have to call and ask everyday, do you have a link you could forward? Anything will help, thanks a lot very much appreciated.

It is on the same site where you schedule the interview.

 

there is a button for rescheduling, which opens the calendar to see if there’s any new opening available. You can check it up to about 20 times a day then it will block you till next day and can start checking again. 

 

however you can only reschedule twice (if more you would need to pay again) so be careful not to accidentally schedule anything.
