Wow! You rescheduled from Nov 2014 to August 2015 :eek:? I hope you're aware of the fact that there are more selectees than available visas, and of how the scenario played out in DV2014? Are you aware you may possibly not get a visa if the scenario from DV2014 were to play out again? People who rescheduled their interview, especially for towards the end of the FY had a tough time being issued with a visa, in fact some ended up not getting the visa at all.

Got to agree - rescheduling to August is crazy.

yes, i know but had no choice. there was no way we could have attended the interview. she was due in December and had underdone a surgery so was on bed rest. we got medical report sent to the embassy and requested for a reschedule to enable her deliver first. the embassy then decided to rescheduled to august. :eek:

But they could have made it February. I think they are 100% sure visas would be available by then. As @F-Lan said life is more important than anything else. Speedy recovery to your wife and congratulations. "Me ma mo afiri mu"(weldone)

sincerely sometimes some of the embassy's decisions bit imagination. actually i requested February when i requested for reschedule due to her condition and the doctor's report requested stated after delivery but then they gave august. only them knows the reason. visa or no visa life go on :)

The bolded part of your post is misleading and not true! There's absolutely no way any embassy can guarantee that!!

I see. So is it that the embassy in Ghana doesn't have a procedure in place where you could have gone online and reschedule the interview on your own, and the only means of making a change is to email and request the change?

yes, the only means is by writing them via email not even phone call
 
When I wanted to reschedule my interview (in SA), the online system showed no availability or maybe it did not have the calendar ready as far as DV dates, I don't quite remember. However I do remember that when I called the embassy to ask what to do, I was told that if I wanted to reschedule I would have to cancel my existing appointment... Yhen keep watching the website to see when another appointment opened up :confused: Needless to say I kept my original one (and found a different way to delay visa issuance ;))
However from Nov this year to Aug just sounds crazy. I suggest calling them up again once a month or so to see if they can move it earlier.

I see. Well if I was in your shoes I wouldn't seat back and wait till August without doing anything. Contact them now and then, just like Susie suggested to find out if they could move it up, unless of course you're okay with the August date.
