How to Postpone Interview K-1

[sorin 0]

Hi all,

The consulate in Vietnam gave us the interview date today for March 26... that is in 2 days, with no notice (she never got the damn Package 4)... Is there a way to postpone the interview date to a new one?

Calling them has proved useless...

Thanks again,

Sorin....

The consulate website says this:

"How can I re-schedule an interview appointment?

If you have missed your interview appointment or you would like to re-schedule an upcoming appointment, you should send a written request to our office for a new appointment. The re-scheduled interview date will be approximately three months after we receive the written request. Your case may be terminated if you fail to pursue the application within one year of the original interview date."

And e-mailing usually is not fast enough because they do not respond for 4-5 days.

Because you only have 2 days (it will soon be 24 March there), I recommend that your fiancee go to the information window at the consulate tomorrow morning if she lives anywhere near HCMC. tell them what happened and ask for their help.

Good luck!

Thanks Toddandhien!

Filling out form RSI as we speak... Sadly my fiance is no where near HCMC and is currently working on a tv program till Wednesday.... so I'll see if she can fax in the form and do the waiting game again.... hopefully the mail man will get his head out of his #######.....

Sorry this happened to you. VN mail is not reliable in the least. I hope they do not make you wait 3 months for another date...

What happens when you call? Can you get any info from them at all doing that?

Just turned in our packet 3 forms yesterday (personally at the consulate). I will start e-mailing them in about 2 weeks to see if they have mailed packet 4 yet. Mail to Hien's village can be lighting quick or a con ot's pace. luck of the draw.

Good luck to both of you!!

Vice Versa, what happen if I would like to request my wife to reschedule her interview before the giving date. My wife interview date on 05-19-2009. My sister will having her wedding end of this April in US. Do you think I should call VN consulate to have my wife interview before, so she would able to attend to my sister wedding? Any thoughts would very helpful. Thanks in advances.

To me, I better not reschedule for an interview. If you want to reschedule, you will then wait for at least 3 months before the next interview. You don’t want to do that unless you want to.

Give them a call and explain your situation, I don’t think they will expedite your case, because of....wedding (who knows, I might be wrong). Also ask them how to reschedule an interview.

Good luck to both of you!

We had the exact same situation. Although my fiancee was in Cambodia, and I'm sure there might be some differences. We tried to reschedule , but was told that we cannot rechedule, but to just go to the interview as scheduled and they will instruct her further. She did this and they just told her to come back to the embassy as soon as she was ready (she did not yet receive all of our "proof" in the mail from me yet), anytime after 2pm. We had no problems. But it did make me a little concerned. Anyway, it worked out fine. Good luck with calling any embassy in asia. It seems that you never can get in touch with a real person and wind up in an endless loop of recordings!! Good luck in your journey!

Thanks for your advise, I will start email VN consulate to see if they will response my email, other than that I just feel helplessly about reschedule early for my sister wedding.
