My fiance is an Albanian citizen living in Italy with an expired work visa.

Because of his legal status, we were intending for him to have his interview at the Embassy in Tirana, Albania. Even though I requested that the NVC send our case to Albania, they still went ahead and sent it to the Consulate in Naples.

I was wondering if anyone here has had an interview in Naples while their fiance was illegally living in Italy.

I was going to have Naples transfer our petition over to Tirana, but I'm thinking that there is a small chance that we might not have to do that. I know that some consulates will definitely ask for proof of legal status, but I am specifically asking about Naples here.

The consulate website does say that you must have a valid permesso di soggiorno. I don't know how strictly they enforce that.

thanks very much

I had the same problem and I discussed it with the embassy and they said they would not see anyone without legal status.
