Will the embassy schedule a specific time for my visa interview, or is there flexibility in the timing?

ORIGINAL POSTER
If you get asked for an interview by the embassy, would they give you a specific time and date, or would there be a little flexibility in you scheduling one. I would like to travel a bit in the country I am in, but concerned with getting too far away from the embassy to get back in time if they set a specific time and date. Thanks. Maybe it is different for each embassy.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When you are asked for an interview by the embassy, it typically involves a specific date and time with no flexibility for rescheduling. This means that you should plan your travel accordingly to ensure you can attend the interview.
