Hi everyone -
As I am sure all of you are doing, I check the website (https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gy/iv) each day to see if interviews are being scheduled. Some background. I'm American and my fiancee is Cuban and we have to go to the U.S. embassy in Georgetown, Guyana for the interview. I'm at the point in the process where the I-129 has been approved, the NVC has assigned a case number, and I've completed the DS-160s. I've just been waiting to schedule an interview and then pay the visa fees.
Well, lo and behold, about 30 minutes ago, I checked the website, and an available interview date popped up! Dec 17, 2020! I was so excited. I clicked on it to select it and then went to the payment part - but here is the kicker. I have to go to a local bank in Guyana and pay in cash before the interview can be scheduled! Sooooo.....now what?
Questions:
1) My petition was approved on Nov 5, 2019. Is it wise to schedule an interview for Dec 17, 2020, over a year later? Maybe that's money down the drain.
2) If it's wise to proceed, how can I pay for these visa fees without being able to fly to Guyana? There must be a business that does this.
Thank you all!
Lori
