Hello,

 

I'm wondering if there will be any need of spouse to be in country of consulate interview BEFORE the consulate there receives the case from NVC.

I'm confused, the picture above says the interview took place last November? 

 

But yes, you usually have to be resident in the country you're interviewing in. Why is the spouse not interviewing where s/he is living? Is s/he a citizen of the other country?

Picture was for a different couple.

 

I'm not interviewing from a different country, we're in a third country currently and want to plan ahead and know if we should go back for interview and more steps if our presence is needed before the consulate receives the case or we have to be there upon NOA2 or NVC receives BEFORE sending our case to the consulate

OP  

if this is for the tourist visa you wanted for the world cup trip,  then no

 

If its for the spouse visa ,  you will need to wait till scheduled and then schedule the medical with 1 of the drs listed on Casa's portal prior to the intervew

so, she needs to be in Casa for that medical and then for the interview .  whether she stays during the medical and interview is up to u

 

allah yessir

Thanks akhi but I'm talking about spouse visa and I'm asking about PRIOR to consulate interview, any need to be present physically? Or can travel freely until consulate says to come for interview?

prior to interview she has to take the medical in Casablanca 

and no, you don't have to stay there,     you can fly in ,  do the medical and fly out and return for the interview as i stated above

its just a matter of airfare and being able to schedule all as needed (weather dependent)

 

make sure you have all the original NVC documents as Casa wants originals and if you have lived in the other country for over 6 months,  criminal report from there

 

i know u didn't ask for all this so sorry but i see too many go thru unneeded long AP as they don't know ahead of time 

 

no need to be rude here , by using caps to show anger.   ok?

My wife traveled tons.  But after DQ and before Interview she actually accumulated 6 months in Dubai.  But, I had her preemptively get a PCC from Dubai and bring it to interview.  They made her leave the consulate, upload the PCC, update the DS-260, then come back (and only gave her limited time to do all of that).  So just watch your time in a given country to see if you need a PCC.
