I got Jan 28th as my interview date and I was asked by my manager to postpone my interview due to work load. Any idea if I ask for a postponement, if I can manage to get a Feb interview or will it be pushed further and further?
thanks

I think you might be able to ask for Feb as part of your request to postpone! However as with all these matters, if you have decided then you need to act as quickly as you can. My suggestion is speak with the Consulate Enquiry office and act quickly. Good luck!

Should we give reason for asking postponement? in case, wud the reason I\'ve(not able to take vacation due to work pressure) is good enough for asking postponement?

2.5 months from when? From the day I ask or from Jan 1st or from Jan 28(my original scheduled date for interview)? thanks
 
V Suresh. You have a good chance of getting a feb interview as Feb dates are not yet finalised.

My friend had been given a Dec interview. He would not have been able to make it so he called them up and requested a Jan interview. He got it for Jan. But this was before they had assigned the exact date to him in Dec.

SO hurry and call before they post dates on web for Jan.

I am sure you will get it for Feb.
 
Don\'t do it.

While it is possible to postpone it, you may not get an early date. Reserve postponement for "emergencies". Workload is not an emergency. Moreover, how can you be sure that the workload issue won\'t come up the next time?

Impress upon your manager the importance of this matter and try to negotiate (unpaid leave, extra hours before leave, etc.)

At the risk of sounding patronizing, I will say that superiors will bend you as far as you can bend. Occasionally you need to push back.

Good luck.

Suresh, i would think you need to talk to him once again and convince him. Don\'t postpone it unless otherwise it\'s so critical you may lose your job because of this.

I do appreciate your suggestions/input but I can\'t really push back. I\'m hoping to ask for an interview in end of Feb and wanted to know by how many days my interview will be pushed back.
thanks
 
Suresh, I was originally scheduled for a December interview and due to work related

reasons I was not able to travel. So requested the consulate to postpone it to January through email and they honored my request and confirmed it through email and asked me to check back after Dec 15th and I called them last night to know I have a January interview. So, the answer is yes you can postpone the interview and request for a specific month later. Hope this helps. Goodluck.
 
I agree with Raj etal do not ever

do it. I presume your manager is a human being. You know what ? I indicated to my manager/director about 6 months back that something like this will come up and plan accordingly. So, ... do it this is once in a life time.

PLEASE GO AHEAD AND ATTEND THE INTERVIEW.

Hope u take this advice seriously. As you know immigration procedures are changing and you never know what happens next. If you go after Jan., you need PCC and later on some XYZCC etc., etc.,
