Preponing Visitor Visa appt. for Parents

[crazyfrog123]

Hi All,
I have been reading thru the preponing Visa appt.'s for Visitor Visa and I have a questions which I didnt read in any of the threads. I got a visa appt for my parents in August(same time same day for mom and dad). When I prepone thru the reschedule link, will that mean I will be able to prepone for just 1 person as each of them has a separate HDFC barcode? This is getting me worried because I want my mom and dad to go for the visa appt. at the same time,if I prepone too.

Also, Is there anyway to be assured that when I prepone, both will get the same day and time like I have them set-up now? The way I filled the application was I filled my dad's info and then added my mom as another applicant.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I read in one of the comments that ,the system is not allowing to add a candidate when he/she tried to reschedule.If you see the comments for the last 3 days you can see that .
But that is very bad design which puts lots of us in trouble with the bad software design they have.

This is how it works:

1) Click on the Reschedule Appt Tab
2) Select No in the "Do you have BEP ID" screen
3) Click Continue in next screen
4) Enter the details asked for like name , passport num , reciept num , ramdom generated num
5) Next screen shows a table which lists your appointment (If you have taken appointment along with your family , all the members will be listed) , Select every one and click Continue
6) It will throw a warning popup that " Rescheduling can be done only once" , Click on Yes to continue
7) A calendar will be shown where the free slots will be displayed
8) Again on clicking continue, one more message telling that rescheduling is allowed only once appears and if clicked, the appointment gets rescheduled and also the new docs are listed for download , all the other forms remain the same, only the interview letter changes showing the new appointment .


So , it means that if u reschedule, all people's appt in that group changes to the same date and time.. But the way this VFS system works now, anything can happen.. So if you see only one date available for preponement, I would say not to do it. Make sure u see atleast 2-3 dates so that u can make sure that u will get atleast one.
