Can we schedule Interview yet?

[KatieA 0]

Hello!

 

So we received a notification from the NVC that our petition was being forwarded to the Santiago Embassy to be processed.  My fiancé is starting a term as a park ranger in June and will not have any contact until August 2nd.  We were hoping to have all of our dates sorted out before he leaves.  Can we schedule the interview (online form) and medical exam before we receive correspondence from the embassy? 

 

Thank you!

The answer to your question is no. 

 

It is quite possible the embassy will communicate with your fiancé or you in the next few weeks with instructions. If he applies on the DS-160 and has the medical exam before he goes into the bush for the summer he will likely have his interview scheduled. Since he will be unreachable, he will miss his interview.  You also have a narrow window of time to get the interview scheduled. So depending on the expiration date of your NOA2, you won’t be able to do wait to do the embassy stuff until September. 

 

Bottom line is that he is NOT going to have his job in the Bush unreachable for three months AND getting a K-1.  He has to decide which is more important.

Hi Mike,

 

If we know the date of his interview before he goes to work, he can still leave an go to the interview.  We just need to know the date.  

 

Thank you!
