Our EB-5 interview has been scheduled at the Mumbai embassy for Oct. 11. However, we cannot make it for that date and have requested the embassy via email to reschedule. They have advised us to reschedule via their online portal and that they do not accept rescheduling requests via email. However, when we follow the instructed steps, there is no option to reschedule the consular interview on their online portal. I have followed up with them and they gave me the same answer. What is the usual way of requesting a different date for the interview? Can it be rescheduled at this point? What will happen if we miss our Oct. 11 interview date?

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyI would strongly advise on trying to attend your interview as it could be many months before they are able to reschedule you. You should write to support-india@ustraveldocs.com to try and reschedule the interview - I would not recommend missing the interview without confirmation that your request for rescheduling has been formally received.
