Nervous about Embassy

[KayandJunior 4]

Hello,

My fiancé lives in Barbados and is a citizen of Guyana. I called the NVC and was advised that our package was sent to Barbados Embassy (the embassy I put on the I-129F form). Have anyone had a similar situation where your fiancé lived in another country and did not have to go back to their home country embassy/consulate for the interview? I'm concerned that this may cause some problems. He's in Barbados on a work visa and been living there for 8 years. I was told (by one person) the NVC would forward to Guyana Embassy if he was not a citizen of Barbados; however that was not the case.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Generally, a citizen or resident of any country is eligible to submit a visa application at any US mission. However, unless that person is a permanent resident of citizen of the country in which he/she is applying, the application is unlikely to be approved under normal circumstances. Since your husband has clearly established domicile in Barbados, it should not affect his application under normal circumstances.

The NVC will forward the petition to the mission that you specifically stated; it does not make the determination for you.

so, when you call in to NVC and get the Embassy casefile number,

what 3 letters does it start with?

Report back, when yer able, and we'll tell you where the casefile is going.

Do you know if they do deny the petition if they forward to their home country embassy?

BGN?

Where do you want him to interview? It will not be a problem for him to interview in Barbados if that is where he is living.

I was just worried, because some people are saying since he is not a citizen they will most likely deny the visa. But it that's not the case if okay

He doesn't have to be a citizen but he does have to be living there legally, which it sounds like he is. If in doubt you call the consulate in Barbados to double check.

We were processed through a 3rd country embassy and had no issues.

Don't worry. Although I'm applying for CR1, I have the same situation and there should not be any problem apart from additional documents

Your fiance will need 2 police certificates (1 from Barbados and another one from Guyana).

Good luck
