Unable to attend US visitor visa interview?


Applicants who fail to appear for their US visitor visa interview appointment are considered "No-Show" applicants.
If you are a No-Show applicant, your visitor visa fee receipt gets deactivated. You are required to wait for two working days, after the scheduled interview date, in order to reactivate your US visa fee receipt, prior to scheduling a new interview appointment.
Note that your US visa application fee receipt is valid for a period of 1 year (365 days) from the date of payment and entitles you to appear once at the Embassy / Consulate for visa interview. So the same visa application fee can be used , as long as you reschedule your interview within 365 days.
If something substantial in your situation has changed (e.g. travel plans, employment), a new DS-160 is required. Use the saved version to update your information and submit the new form. This will create a new CEAC barcode. If nothing in your situation has changed, use your original CEAC barcode while taking your appointment. Make your new appointment on USTravelDocs website with a valid US visa application fee receipt, following the same procedure used in making the previous appointment.

    Thank you for sharing the information.

    Getting visa or applying for visa has become very easy as there are number of immigration attorneys who are providing the service of immigration law and one such law firm which, I recently came across on internet is Weiss Alden & Polo who are a full-service immigration law firm providing immigration law as well as temporary visa, green card to individuals and businesses with all types of immigration matters.

    OK, this is 2015, i just tried to change my appointment booked for the 20th of April 2015 and i was told i have exceeded the no of reschedule times(when i haven't reschedule at all since i booked the initial appointment) could it be that they are saying that because i am rescheduling very close to the date of my interview. if i decide not to show could i still follow the procedure you shared about rescheduling after missing an appointment even though the system is telling me if i cancel this appointment i will have to pay another MRV fee and i made the actual payment less than two months ago. pls advice

    I am blaming my boss for this no-show thing. I am scheduled yesterday at 730AM... My boss wants to meet me at 7AM the same day...for effin nothing! So I have to wait again until the status is changed to "No-Show". I emailed the agents and they are quite responsive. I have to wait again until next week, until my payment receipt is reactivated. Though my life is never dependent on the visa. Just the experience
