Interview Date
My fiancee finally received her interview date. It's scheduled for March 1st, 2004. It's good and all but it's too long. Around that time I won't be able to go to Cambodia and bring her over to America. The only time I'm able to go to Cambodia is in January. At that time I'll be in my winter break. Is it possible if I could ask the embassy to change my interview date at an earliest date possible?

It does not hurt to ask. However, I have a feeling that that IS the earliest possible date. I can't say that for certain, but since it is so far out, it has the feeling to me as having been set based upon workload considerations.

Re: Interview Date
I think a complicating factor here is that Guru's fiancee is from Cambodia, and it's the embassy in Bangkok, Thailand, that processes visas for Cambodian citizens.
I don't know this for certain, but I suspect that the Cambodian interviews may be 'batched', that is certain times set aside for the Cambodians only, which limits the flexibility of scheduling the interviews. I have this feeling because the time between submission of the DS-230 and the interview date seems to be noticably longer for Cambodian applicants than for Thai applicants.
It's worse for Cambodian K3 applicants, because consular officers from the Bangkok embassy must travel to the embassy in Cambodia to conduct the interviews. I don't know the frequency of these visits.
