Hi, my question is in the title but I will give more context. I'm a British citizen married to a USC and we filed our standalone i-130 in November 2023. When he had to leave the UK after we got married we couldn't stand being apart so we decided that I would move to Tijuana, Mexico and he would cross every day to be with me. He works and will maintain his address in San Diego. I'll be moving to Mexico as a temporary resident by family. (Previously we thought of us each visiting for long periods but that has it's own issues) So that leaves which embassy i'll be doing my American interview through. On the i-130 I put I would be going through the London, UK embassy because that was the plan at the time. But now I will be living in Mexico I just want to be 1000% sure can I still have my interview in London? I have a flexible ticket back so I can easily be there. It's about 1.5 years longer going through either embassy in Mexico compared to the UK. and BONUS QUESTIONS: when I do move to TJ i'm thinking i'll need to let USCIS know. How do I do that? or is it only by the NVC stage i have to submit the documents? We had an extensive amount of evidence up until this point. I've submitted unsolicited evidence before, in this situation should I put through more? It's an odd one for my husband as he will have an address in SD and in TJ and we'll be getting a joint Mexican bank accounts together which was not possible because we lived in separate countries. Great bona fide evidence but is it odd he's living in 2 places at once? Or just he's visiting me or what? It's hard to get my head round. I'm not worried about him having loose ties to the US but should I be? Thank you and hope I put this in the right category although my post has kind of evolved with these extra questions.

Having completed all the necessary steps for a K1 interview at the London consulate (DS-160, medical interview attended, etc), we have registered at the requested Visa Appointment Service website at https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv. We chose our courier preference and have advanced to the stage of paying the MRV fee(s). It is my understanding that this is the point when an interview can be scheduled. However, we are unable to pay our MRV fees and are met with the message: "There are no available appointments at this time. Please check back in a few days as the Consular Section will open more appointments." This has been going on for well over a week. As with so many applicants who have suffered long delays all through the application process, we are desperate to finally schedule our interview. We have been refreshing this page every few minutes, 24 hours a day, for the last 7 days without any change. When I phoned the interview scheduling number, they simply read me the same message verbatim and told me to "keep trying". I have submitted an online request to the London IV Unit via their form, and I have sent an email as directed by the person who was answering the interview scheduling phone. I await their responses. Just wondering if anyone has encountered this message in the past (and if so, how long the delay lasted), if anyone has successfully scheduled a K1 interview in the past couple of weeks in London, or if anyone has navigated this issue at all?

For those doing their medical exams in London, we have 2 questions: 1. How did you get your vaccination records? Were the vaccinations listed with dates in your patient care summary sufficient? 2. For those who have ever lived somewhere other than the UK, did you need medical records from every county you have lived? I lived for a couple years in Geneva.... We have our medical on Tuesday and are so nervous! Any tips/last minute reminders would also be welcome. Thanks everyone

Hi all, I'll be traveling to the US on my IR-1 visa next month and the airline API section asks for either a "green card" reg number or a visa number, depending on which applies to you. My question is, do I choose visa or green card. seems like both could be technically correct but just don't want to do anything that will cause a headache at the airport, as they can be a bit strict at check in. thanks in advance!

Hi I've seen on the forums people mention that for the Medical exam, if you have depression mentioned on your personal care summary from your GP you need a letter from the GP stating you are not a risk to yourself and others? I had a small period of depression almost 3 years ago now. I've inquired with my GP about getting a letter as I want to be prepared for when I have the medical (hopefully some point next year). They want to charge me for a private consultation to be able to write a letter on my mental health as its been 2 years since they've seen me. Is this necessary to get?

Had my medical today, it was after my interview because I couldn’t get an appointment. I spoke to the lady working the reception and explained how everyone at the embassy along with me didn’t have their medicals yet. She sort of sighed and say yes, people are finding it really difficult to get medical appointments prior to the interview, which is causing them to be extremely busy. (She seemed stressed but was very lovely) She said the reason was because the embassy is doing things in blocks, sending out interview letters and notifications in big blocks. So seems like they get a massive influx of appointments needed at the one time, which probably can’t help! A of bunch of folk there today had already done their interview too. thought it was an interesting note from the day and might answer some questions of folk waiting for their date after seeing so many get there’s, with only a day or two difference in DQ. Ps- staff were all lovely but I was there a good 3-4 hours mostly waiting, so keep that in mind!

Hi guys, So I received an email today confirming my interview and my interview appointment is scheduled May 3rd. I have a slight problem. My husband will be starting his new job today and will not receive a paystub by the time I have my interview appointment. I have advised him to provide me with: - Updated I864 - Updated tax return - Letter from employer confirming he has started his job My husband will still be earning well over the poverty requirements so we will not need a co-sponsor. Will the lack of paystubs cause any issues? And will I need to take anything else? I am getting seriously worried.

Hello members Good Morning I am new to this group so please advice me. We received visa interview for me and my family ( wife and son) F3 last week.! It was only 2 weeks notice, so can’t get medical date for 3 of us.! After waiting for this long we don’t want to reschedule interview date so we decided to attend interview which is next week and medical after interview next day.! So if we attend interview before medical I know they will refuse pending medical but my question is would medical people ask for interview letter email. And if so then would they accept if interview date is passed day before.? Any suggestion/ advice would be very appreciated.! Thanks all in advance

Hello, My husband and I are finishing our paperwork for submittal. One question we have regarding the I-130A — when entering addresses for the UK, in the ‘Province’ field, should it be left blank since there really aren’t provinces in the UK, or should we put the county? i.e for Manchester, put Lancashire as the Province? One other question, and I’m probably just nitpicking, but want to do it correctly… in the instructions for the 130 (not even sure if it says this in 130A instructions) it states to put NA in unused fields. Do people generally put NA throughout in all blank fields, or would you just do this in the first field of the section to indicate no info will follow? thanks in advance for any assistance!
