US Immigration from Ireland

Hi all,

after two years of waiting and a few set backs I ve finally gotten to Interview stage for my IR1 visa! I m being processed at the London embassy.

I booked my interview for 2nd March but unfortunately I couldn t get a medical until 8th March (1 month waiting time right now for anyone who is i interested). I know you are supposed to do your medical at least 5 days before the interview so I ve been trying to reschedule my interview appointment but there are now no dates available.

Here are my questions

1. How important is it that you attend the medical first, could I still go to the interview then attend the medical after. I know they will not approve my visa until they get the medical results but couldn t they do that once my results come through roughly around 13th (5 days after the medical?)

2. If I have to attend the medical first and I can t reschedule my interview can I just miss my appointment while I wait for new dates to be released? Will this hurt my case?

3. Does anyone know when the embassy releases new dates? I check like three times a day but for the past week there has been nothing new released.

Any advice much appreciated!

Hey all,

I have a N-400 pending since I applied in October 2021. There is a good chance that I will be moving to another State in Early Summer 2022 (Chicago to Denver). Its unlikely I will get an interview date in Chicago before the move. My question is not about how I change my address. So when I update my new address with USCIS, will my case go to the back of the line In Denver? Or do they take into consideration that my case has been pending with Chicago for potentially 7/8 months?

Thank you in advance!

Hi all. I am married to a US citizen and do NOT have a SSN (I applied before marriage and followed all the advice given here but when I called up after waiting weeks they said the form was never sent on their end or something). I am applying for an ITIN but it says I have to attach the application to a tax return - is that my husbands tax return for last year or the one for this upcoming year? Also it seems to request that I send my passport or a "certified copy". I am very reluctant to send my passport as I have no idea how long they will keep and I may need it for upcoming USCIS appointments. Has anyone done this recently and know if I can just send a notarised copy of the passport?

Thanks

Hi,

I am a UK citizen and am applying for an IR1 visa. A few days ago the London embassy instructed me via email to schedule my interview using the ais.usvisa-info website. Unfortunately I am experiencing some difficulties on this website. I can log in using my registered email and password but when I try to select the "service that fits my needs and fill in my details, including my case number, it keeps telling me that an applicant already exists for this case number and it won t let me proceed.

I should mention that my case was originally being processed by the Dublin embassy and I had an interview set up with them (via the ais.usvisa-info website) however due to circumstances beyond my control I had to reschedule this appointment and upon doing so Dublin decided my case was no eligible to be processed by them and transferred it to London. Under the direction of the website's tech support I re-registered with a new email address but this has done nothing to fix the problem.

Has anyone else been in this same situation and how was it resolved?

Thanks

Sharon
