Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.
I’m in a very confusing situation and would really appreciate any advice or insight.
We are living in the Middle East, and because of the war and the embassy shutdown, we asked the NVC if it would be possible to transfer our immigrant visa interview from Jordan to the U.S. Embassy in London. We explained that my spouse only has a tourist visa for the UK. The NVC accepted the transfer and scheduled the interview in London.
Since then, we have been trying to contact the London embassy to confirm whether they will actually process the case, since my spouse does not have permanent status in the UK and only holds a tourist visa. Their response has been that this decision will only be made at the interview and will depend on the consular officer.
This puts us in a very difficult position. We would need to travel to London, complete the medical exam there, and spend a lot of money without knowing whether the case will even be processed.
Has anyone been in a similar situation, or does anyone know what we can do? If the embassy in Jordan is still closed for immigrant visa processing, is it even possible to transfer the case back there? Right now, we feel stuck in a very uncertain situation.
