Change fiance interview date?

Can someone with experience tell me how and if my fiance can change her interview date for the fiance visa? To make a long story short, she has been scheduled for December 28th, 2006 but will not be able to make that appointment. The major reason is she's never traveled on a plain nor to a big city and we both agreed it was best if I accompany her. I would not be able to accompany her until January. Will the embassy allow us to change the interview dtae (to sometime in January)? If so, how do I go about doing that.

Any other comments on the subject would be appreciated.

Thanks

Don´t do it... You shouldn´t change the date, it is very difficult to get it and the enterview won´t be more than five minutes, they will check all the paperwork and if everything is complete they will give her a new appoinment in a month... No need for you to be there.

Good luck!!!

Thanks Fiona Aside from all hte supporting documents is their only the one form DS-156 she should have filled out? Or does she need also the OF-156?

I haven't tried, but I don't think that changing the date is a big deal. A fax to the embassy, perhaps, explaining that the beneficiary can't make it. All your paperwork is there at the embassy so you just need to show up and answer the questions.

Also, there's no reason for the sponsor to be there as long as all the paperwork is in order. If not, you might be able to clear something up. If you're missing something, then you're being there won't make a difference (other than to provide a shoulder to cry on).

When I was there with my fiance (last year) one couple was missing something and, while disappointed, they just needed to return the following month with the missing documentation. It didn't seem like a one-shot deal at all.

Thanks Crazy4Cali Thanks Crazy and fiona. The major concern I have is my fiance traveling to Bogota alone. But looks like her cousin will be able to accompany her. So we're going to stick with the date.

Thanks to both for your help.

Best Not To Be There! Hola!

I heard the same thing. I should be at the embassy!

Saved some money by not going there, but when asked for more photos at the interview, I was able to send them from the USA and they were delivered the next day.

Of course, later found out that she was cheating on me and planned to divorce me when she got to America! She had a child by a State Dept employee in America and now wants me to pay for her kid when the other guy used no condom!

A different thought Why not talk her into doing this alone - she is going to be leaving her country soon also and will be away from friends/parents/relatives and needs to learn to do things on her own - if you make everything too easy - she may not be able to survive on her own. But of course if she doesn't have the courage to do it then ...? Good Luck
