Biometrics & medical abroad

[Alxndr23 5]

If my spouse is visiting the USA during the consulate I130 visa process, is she able to complete her biometrics and medical here or does it have to be completed in her home country?

Hello,

At which point in the I130 process is biometrics, medical and police report?

 

Police certificate will be required at NVC stage, after the I-130 petition is approved.

 

Medical should be scheduled typically a few weeks before the visa interview.

 

If interviewing at Montreal, biometrics will be taken at the consulate on the day of the visa interview.

Are we able to do the police report early, before the 130 is approved?  I think I read it needs to be less than 2 years old.  If so, do we have them sent to us or somewhere else?

Yes, you may apply for police certificate before the I-130 is approved.  Your VJ profile indicates Canada, so I assume you'll be needing a PC from RCMP.  The PC should be sent to you.  You'll need to upload a scan to NVC, then bring the original to the visa interview.
