Living in Canada(Vancouver) interview in Seattle?

[mixel 0]

Hello people,

 

I'm a Brazilian citizen already living in Vancouver, Canada for 3 years under a student visa. I'm filling the I-129F and I have one doubt about the question below, Part 2 - Question 36.a, about the embassy.

 

 

Since April 1, 2016 the U.S. Consulate General Vancouver is not processing K-1 visa applications anymore, now the interviews are only in Montreal. Below is the announcement that can be seen in the website https://ca.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee/

 

"Effective April 1, 2016, U.S. Consulate General Vancouver is no longer processing new fiancé(e) (K) visa applications. U.S. Consulate General Montreal will be the interview location for all fiancé(e) visas in Canada. This change applies to all fiancé(e) visa petitions received at the National Visa Center after March 31, 2016. U.S. Consulate General Vancouver will continue to process fiancé(e) visa applications and conduct interviews for petitions they received prior to that date. "

 

So my question is, can I apply to the Seattle USCIS even if I'm living in Vancouver, Canada? Because I have an USA travel visa and for me it's only 3 hours driving to Seattle instead of $700 and 5hrs by plane to Montreal.

 

Thank you in advance.

No. No interviews for K-1 visas take place inside the U.S.

 

In Canada I believe only Montreal does the visa interviews.

Good luck.

 

I hear Montreal takes quite awhile to get an interview at eventually also. Don't know why but maybe just because they are so busy. Make sure by that time you would still have legal status in Canada otherwise you would have to go back to Brazil to do the interview.
