Have to reschedule interview. How much of a delay to expect?

[lizzyduckluv 3]

Hello All,

FINALLY received our interview letter today after waiting for 6 months and wouldn't you know it--the interview is scheduled during a time my husband is away on business travel. So we are calling to reschedule.

My question for those who have had to reschedule, how long did it take to get your new appointment letter?

I am trying to assess how much of a delay to expect.

In the event it is relevant, our interview is at the Portland, Oregon field office.

Many thanks!

It will probably be another few weeks or perhaps even a couple of months until you receive a new appointment.

For anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation, I wanted to provide an update.

We called to reschedule the appointment on August 29th. A week later we received a letter from the Portland, Oregon field office requesting proof that my husband was traveling for work before they would consider rescheduling. We faxed in his fight itinerary. A week later we received a letter saying they had canceled our original interview date. Then on September 26th, a little over two weeks later, we received our rescheduled interview letter. Our newly scheduled interview is 3 weeks after the original date.

If you can avoid the reschedule, do yourself a favor and do. It's not difficult to reschedule with a legitimate reason, it's just a very tedious process and does cause a delay.
