HELP!!! Now what do we do??
 
I emailed London yesterday about hubby's file and the fact that he has heard nothing from them..................got this reply today:



An appointment has been scheduled for December 30. You will receive written notification of the date and time of the appointment in due course.
Thank you for your email correspondence.

Now, keep in mind, he will be here on the 19th of december until the 12th of January.......have two choices really......try to reschedule appointment, or have him leave here early, which is an expense he cannot afford. CAN we reschedule??? How easy is it to do????

Any advice will be welcome!!!!

Could just email or ring them and say you can't make it....but then who knows when they'll slot him in again...

Can he re-schedule his flight for a later date?. You said he was coming on the 15, can you wait a few days, have him go to the interview and enter the US later on with his sparkling visa?:D. I know you want to spend Christmas with him but if you cancel the interview who knows when they'll give you another date.
It isn't really that bad girlie, this is what you have been waiting for!!

Unfortunately, he cannot reschedule his flight, because it is non-transferable, nor non -refundable. We will just contact London again about rescheduling interview..... :(

Speaking as a travel agent-norefundable doesn't mean all is lost. Usually if you pay a penalty change fee (international usually 100-200 bucks) and/or book it in a higher class of service it can be fixed.

Cindy, can you tell me this? Would it be possible for him to just change his return flight ticket???? Then he could just go back earlier from here and keep the appointment on the 30th.

I am a bit concerned now, that a mistake has been made. He has never even recieved his Packet 3. EVERYONE gets that right, regardless of how they filed???

Good question, that why I am wondering if this is right. The reason I emailed them was to make sure they had recieved his file from here. We are sooooo confused :(

Maybe he did submit Packet 3 by printing the forms on-line and sending them in, rather than waiting for the P3 to get to him?

No, he says he didn't do that...wanted to, but didn't. Should the letter he recieved about his file being forwarded have said anything about waiting for Packet 3?? I am repeating myself, but does EVERYONE do a packet 3..regardless of how they filed?

He DID recieve a checklist, but not the official IV-15 with the letter, telling him what he needed for interview, but no to send it back, just to bring those things to interview with him. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I'm not Cindy :), but we did this a couple of times with non changeable-non refundable tickets and the fee was between $100-200 for us, as well. One time was changing the ticket before use, the other was just the return flight. He should be able to do that.
