Thanks. Yes, I do have a sponsor. I have already filled out an I-864. So has the sponsor. Thank you!

Here are the things that my wife will bring to the interview. Also some questions about a few documents are needed at the end. Please advise. Applicant 2 photos Passport + 1 copy Police Certificates + 1 copy Marriage Certificate + 1 copy Letter explaining why we don't have the required marriage certificate. (Long story, see my previous posts.) NVC Interview Letter Petitioner Copy of my passport Copy of my birth certificate (Does the applicant need this? Does she need an original?) Proof of Domicile Bank statements Offer of Employment Cell Phone bill Renewed Driver's License Financial Sponsor 2021 Tax information (the sponsor did not have 2021 tax info when we submitted I-864.) Copy of birth certificate (Is this needed? Is the original needed?) Proof of Domicile (Is this needed?) Questions Do I need to provide an original birth certificate for me, the petitioner? Does the financial sponsor need to provide an original birth certificate? Do we need to print a copy of the DS-460 (the immigrant visa application)? Am I missing anything?

She did her medical a couple of days ago. She has the sealed folders b/c the digital system was down. Her interview is Nov 30.

Thank you!

Thanks! Was the rescheduling pretty smooth? How much earlier was it?

Am I correct in assuming that there are no negative consequences from requesting one?

Just like it says on the tin. Some circumstances have changed, and I may have grounds for an expedite. I know it's probably a long shot, but I'd like to know if it's even possible after the interview has already been scheduled.

Yes only 2 doctors in France. Both in Paris. Unless I'm missing something? We're trying to have a family Christmas in Texas so not worried about validity of the examine.

I'm trying avoid two trips to or a lengthy stay in Paris. Just got notice of interview date today for the end of November and will try to have the medical next week. Thank you!

How far in advance of the interview can we get the medical? How close to the interview can we get the medical?

This case is what I'm hoping the current "normal" is. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=405694

Yes, we need to be back in the USA by mid November for other reasons. What I am aiming to avoid is a long, unknown length of separation. The kids are still pretty young and will miss their momma. 4 months! Man, that seems long. I hope that's b/c of summer holidays. France has quite a long vacation where most bureaucratic things just stop. Not sure if it applies to the US consulate as well.

Thanks. We're not buying tickets for her, just me and the kids. We'll wait for her visa.

So my wife was DQ'd and is now waiting for the Paris consulate to schedule an interview. I'd like to thank a few people, namely @Crazy Cat, @pushbrk, and @ROK2USA for all their help answering so many of my questions. There are others, but those 3 have really been there for me and for that I am very grateful. Thank you! So...what comes next? We were DQ'd on the 6th of September. How long until the file is at the consulate in Paris? How long until the interview? How long after the interview until she has her visa (assuming, of course, everything goes smoothly.)? I'm trying to avoid a lengthy family separation. In your opinion, if I buy a ticket to the USA (we're long time expats!), for myself and the kids on November 10, is it reasonable to think that my wife would be nearly done with the process by then? I know that these things are not an exact science, but I'd love to hear what you think.

Thank you!
