Can you change your US visa appointment date to an earlier time?
The answer is “it depends”It depends on what?The type of visa- spouse visa both stateside or through DCF, fiance visa, travel visa, work visa….In addition, it depends on the embassy. Different embassies have different standards and rules. Therefore check with the embassy or embassy website.I know most about spouse and fiance visas. I also know most about the US embassy in Manila, Philippines.So here are my answers for those situations.If you are applying for a spouse visa stateside and going through NVC, it is very hard to change your US visa appointment to an earlier date. They probably will not let you.If you are applying for a fiance visa or spouse visa by DCF Philippines, and made your initial embassy interview appointment date, then you are allowed to change your US visa appointment date to an earlier time if there is a slot open. You must cancel your initial embassy interview appointment.Therefore you can look for an earlier appointment to open up online and snag it. However, there is one clause as stated in the Apply for a U.S. Visa . “Applicants are only allowed to reschedule twice (not including the initial appointment) without penalty. If the second rescheduling attempt is canceled, an applicant will only be allowed to reschedule a new date after a waiting period of 90 days. Please plan your visa application accordingly to avoid problems securing an interview appointment.”
How do I reschedule my US visa appointment? Is it possible to reschedule it to an earlier date?
You did not mention where you are applying for the visa. Anyway, in general, the process is very straightforward.For India, e.g., here’s the link: Schedule My Appointment. At the bottom, there’s a link to change your appointment and you can easily change your current appointment to another available date. There should be a similar link on the website of whichever consulate you’re applying to. If you can’t find the link, call the consulate’s customer service number / contact number.Most consulates have a limit to the changes. Make sure you have a valid reason for changing. Also make sure you change the date before the deadline for doing so. Finally, don’t make a habit of it. Good luck.

Toronto Consulate US visa interview schedules?
I'm part of a student design team in a Canadian University. We were going to participate in a student competition in Michigan in the second week of May. Recently we found out that we have enough budget to accommodate the whole team for the trip. But I am actually an international student and i'm required to apply for a US visa. I know the timing is very tight ( actually, downright horrible!) as I barely have just 24 days to get the visa in my hand. Ideally The Toronto Consulate requires 3 days to decide after the interview. But i'm a citizen of a country which 'might' need an extended evaluation period. I do have the necessary documents from the school and everything. But I suppose this is a very busy season and getting an interview soon enough is pushing my luck (and making it dodge through my exams!). Calling them was not helpful as they repeat the same thing about how it will be scheduled after i apply, and cannot say any approximate date. Can anyone who is more knowledgeable about this matter give any input? can i revoke my application and get a refund if i can't get a suitable schedule? should i even consider applying??
