MRYAR Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Below was the answer from US Visa service desk regarding the same question that you asked was asked by me. Hope it helps. Response: Thank you for writing to the U.S. Visa Service Desk. We understand that you would like to know if your OFC can be scheduled a day before your Consular interview. Please be informed that the minimum time between your OFC and Consular interview should be one day. You may proceed for both of the interviews as scheduled by you.

maysan Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 OFC should be before. We dont have a choice to choose the date. however, there are a lots of slots and very easy to get that because there are multiple 30 minutes slots from 1-5pm. So if you get lot of dates to choose from you are lucky. Else, within a given date you have some degree of flexibility in choosing the time of the day. I have my interview 4 days after the OFC.

itssach75 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 i don't think it matters, i have ofc on nov 8 at 4pm and visa interview nov 9 at 8:30 am. If the system lets you schedule it, there shouldn't be an issue. Thats what i think.. Link to comment
h4visa1 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 It could be any time on previous day. Although the website says that it should be atleast one day, the system allows you to book an OFC appointment less than 24 hrs from your visa interview time. If they wanted to enforce 24hr minimum, they could have done in the system itself. I booked the visa interview on Dec 19 at 9 am and the next screen showed OFC appointments available until 5pm, Dec 18. I even read somewhere that it showed times on the same day as visa interview if the interview is during later half of the day. Link to comment

luck2u Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 @alex2012: OFC is applicable for visa applicants in India, not in Canada. Link to comment

gander Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Hello , Just to confirm , I have an OFC appointment on Tuesday at 3:30pm and visa appt on wednesday at 8am. Its less than 24 hours between appts. Is this ok or should I reschedule ? Thanks! Link to comment
luck2u Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 @gander: You are good and no need to reschedule. All the thing is it has to be in two different days i.e., system itself will not show you both appointments on one single day. Good Luck for your visa interview!! Link to comment
