Hi everyone’s I’m from Pakistan currently living and reside in Rwanda since 2009 I sent a inquiry to NVC when we submitted all required documents, requesting for interview to be conducted in the country I’m residing in (Rwanda) Today we received an email stating they have accepted all our documents and they will work with US embassy in Islamabad, Pk to schedule an interview.Is this just an auto reply for documents being accepted? Is there any further steps can we take to have interview conducted in Rwanda?

 

Me and my wife both are confused what should we do now send NVC another email? Please advice thanks in advance

Do you have legal residency in Rwanda?

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

On the i130, did you indicate your current residential address was in Rwanda?

 

A simple request is not enough.   You need to provide evidentiary proof of your residency,  

YMMV

I understand that you moved to Rwanda in 2019. However:

  1. how long have you been a resident there and
  2. when did you send your application? mm/yyyy

I have been living here since 24th Nov 2019 and wife sent the application before I left Pakistan, I don’t know the exact date but it’s was also in nov 2019 then she put Pakistan as a primary address. 
 

Our attorney told us to report address change request to DS-260 and it will automatically would change the interview location to Rwanda. we did exactly as our attorney told us to do when we submitted all the required documents to NVC including Rwanda police certificate I’ve also requested them in email to change my interview location to Rwanda. 
 

Today I have received the email from NVC stating that they have approved the documents and they’re working with US Embassy Islamabad to schedule my interview appointment.

 

I just sent another email to NVC for requesting my interview to be conducted in Kigali Rwanda, I also attached my residency proof now I’m just waiting for their reply.

There goes your answer.

You moved to Rwanda and sent your application on the same month. You should have just waited till you got to Rwanda to send you application.

Nonetheless, being from Pakistan and from what I have seen over my years here on VJ, though you immigrated to Rwanda, you have just lived there (Rwanda) for a short time. So basically, most of your security checks will be mostly hinge on your time in Pakistan. That being said, I do not think you will avoid the Pakistani immigration snare, that is, the long AP times.

Sounds like poor timing from someone using an attorney.   Once the NVC has proof of your residency they can put you in the Rwanda pile.  Otherwise you wait until ISL has the file and then ask the local consulate to request jurisdiction.

You need to reread the guide up in to top blue bar of this site.   DQ means that the NVC has everything to send to the consulate.  Hopefully they changed to consulate.   For a spousal visa the NVC will hold the case until the consulate has interview dates.

You mean hopefully they’ll change interview location to Kigali right ?
