Scheduling of interview

[ciao]

This seems like a simple question, but I can't find the answer anywhere.

In the DCF process, who sets the interview date? Do I request a date, or do the Guangzhou folks tell me the date, or do we mutually agree somehow?

We want to enter the US in September 2017. So, as I understand it (6 month rule), we have to receive our visa after March 2017. Is that correct? So our interview (assuming success) should also be after March 2017.

I think I found the answer here:

> my wife received an email instructing her to log in to the website and make an appointment.

> The website showed wide availability; we could have made an appointment for the next day, if we’d been ready for it…

 

So, it seems that I pick the date (from among the available ones on the web site). ​Assuming nothing has changed since 2913.

Nothing has - at least as far as scheduling interviews.

 

Technically, it's not the Consulate that schedules interviews - it's the NVC. Interviews are scheduled by the NVC for those who filed stateside - NOT for those who file overseas (DCF).
