We are working on Tourist visas for my in-laws living in Mexico. My father-in-law filled out his DS-160 and was trying to schedule his interview. According to the page, the preferred location of Mexico city does not have available interviews at this time, but also all the other locations are at least a year out anyway. 1: Should we just select Mexico city and hope some availability opens soon for tourist visa interviews? 2: If we select Mexico city for example, can we later change this? Similarily doing the opposite and picking a location that is taking interviews and change to Mexico city if interviews become available. 3: Will we have to go back and change the DS-160 somehow if there is a change in interview location? Will this cause a problem? Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I didn't realize that the ITIN was filed concurrently with taxes, for some reason I thought it would be just like applying for a SSN. I'll look into benefits of doing separate and ammending, vs filing for ITIN at the same time.

So, if I am trying to file for my 2021 taxes and finally get my return, could we apply for an ITIN and hope/expect to get that before the EAD and SSN so that we can file jointly?

My wife came over on a K1 visa from México in September 2021. We submitted her I-485 paperwork and had checked the "I need a social security number" box. She did have her biometrics appointment March 24, 2022 but no new news aince then. We are hitting other annoyances with her not having a SSN. Are we able to expedite just the SSN portion? I realize now that applying separately for the SSN beforehand would have been the better option (we didn't want to deal with the name change on the SSN) Can we apply for her SSN now seperately, even though it is in process on the I-485 as well?
