Travel after interview

[Hirayam 0]

Hello! I’m new here.

Would it be an issue if for example I will be travelling to Japan AFTER the day of my visa interview? Because we have already booked a Japan trip for January to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we didn’t expect our case to be expedited, and the we are considering the earliest date available on the consul for interview which happened to be the day before my flight. 
Can anyone help me please?

interview is scheduled by embassy and NVC so almost impossible to estimate a date for this

 

If u create a VJ timeline on your profile , VJ members with experience at that embassy may help with estimating interview date  

Even if u are out of country for honeymoon,  the notice will come by a good email ID and you'll have time to return and prepare.

 

Good idea to take needed documents with u for the interview that your spouse will need

proof of US residence like copy of DL with photo ID and state address

the I 864

IRS statements submitted to NVC

and any other documents listed for the USC needed for the interview

 

taking these saves mailing them and wasting time

I assume it is an interview for a spouse visa? If the case is approved during the interview, they will keep your passport for a few days while your case goes through the last step of administrative processing and finally visa issuance. This is a problem if you plan to travel on the day after the interview.

It shouldn't be an issue in itself. Many countries allow you to apply for second passport, so you can leave one passport with US embassy and travel to Japan on different passport
