No-show for interview?

[sydneybardwell]

I filed my husband's petition in the US, but at the time he was still in China (he's in the US now on a tourist visa, but will be going back for his interview, etc). We received a notice that his interview has been scheduled for July 8, but we'll be in the middle of traveling at that point and we have a small child (neither me or my child have current visas for China at the moment), so we want to reschedule his interview appointment. I wrote to the Guangzhou consulate and received a form letter back saying that we'll be able to reschedule after our original scheduled appointment. Everything I've read seems to imply that we should just not show up for our interview -- but that seems wrong to me. Is there no way to cancel and reschedule in advance? Will pulling a no-show impact my husband's immigrant visa in any way? Thank you!

Follow the best information you receive from the Consulate. You can also try to reschedule through the USTravelDocs website, or through the NVC.
