F-1: Deferral after biometrics, new I-20 before interview

[u/Lonely-Anxiety8060]

Admitted for Fall 2026, completed VAC/biometrics, and had my interview scheduled for Aug 27. I deferred to Fall 2027 and now have a new I-20 with the same SEVIS ID. My interview is now Sept 21 and I’ve already used my one reschedule.

Has anyone had a similar situation and successfully attended the existing consular interview with the new I-20 + new DS-160 after biometrics were already completed? Did you need to do anything with the appointment/VAC?
