Re-Scheduling Your DV Lottery Interview.
Re scheduling your interview for the DV Lottery may reduce the chance of getting the awaited U.S Immigrant visa. It is because there are annually 50,000 diversity visas only available from the American Government under this program. As all the people who are selected as DV Lottery winners don't have the required eligibility requirements to show and get the visas at the interview. So nearly 100,000 people are selected as winners in the draw and allowed to proceed. Each selected person will have a specially allotted case number for them. It will start from number 1 in numerical order along with their geographical region.From October 1st, selected people will be called for the DV visa interviews at the U.S Consular offices. Lowest case numbers will be called first and it will follow in numeric order from lower case numbers to higher case numbers till the visas exhaust or till the date of the program close officially on 30th September. Some time case numbers which are higher than 63,000 don't have chances to be called for the Interview as the allotted visas are exhausted, and further interviews will be cancelled.
So now you understand the situation in the visa interview. So if you reschedule your interview around October November you may have the chance to get the interview in time. But in the later months you will have less chance to attend the interview as this program ov visa lottery serves who come first. It is up to you to decide on it.
In Bangladesh rescheduling of the DV visa interview is not allowed.
In some countries you can reschedule only once and if you request for a second time you will never get response from them.
While in may other places after you get the second letter you can contact the U.S Embassy through the email or handover them a requesting letter on a working day at your Embassy and can request for a reschedule in a later date. The rescheduled date will be as per their calendar and can't be as per your wish.
After obtaining the new date for the interview you must take your visa fee along with the new interview date announcement mail on the new interview date. If you failed to do this you will not be allowed to enter in to the Embassy.
You must take care when rescheduling a new interview date; other applicants will be interviewed and will be given the Visas if they are eligible. If there are no visas to issue as they reached the limit your new interview date will go useless.
