US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionK3 interview date, I130 at embassy too

You may want to contact NVC to make sure that the I-130 was sent to the Embassy. Recently USCIS and NVC have started the practice of holding the I-130 in K-3 cases, because most K-3s tend to do AOS in the states, if this is the case you may have to file I-824 with USCIS to request that the I-130 is sent on th the Embassy.

Thanks for your reply. NVC now states that our I 130 has been sent to the Embassy. So, I emailed the Embassy asking if they could be put together - what a silly move that was!

I got an immediate reply from them saying my email had been deleted.

As there is no telephone contact regarding Immigrant visas and they dont answer email how are we supposed to contact them at all?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionK3 interview date, I130 at embassy too
Hi

We have just heard from London that we have an interview date of 1st April for our K3.

Last week we were told that NVC had finished with our I130 and presumably this is being sent to London too, (we have not been told this is being retained in the States). Has anyone managed to get the Embassy in London to convert a K3 interview to I130?

It would be so much better to wait for the CR1 but we dont want to go to the back of another long queue at this stage. Any ideas anyone?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresis there an age exemption for requiring vaccinations proofs?
Hi there Agileflower

I have just been for my visa interview in London and the vaccination question came up then.

I am 53 and had my medical for the K3 a couple of weeks before the interview date. At the medical the doctor agreed with me that I only had to have certain vaccinations because of my age. My medical paper said that I age appropriately vaccinated.

I had contacted my own doctor who could only give limited info about previous vacs - nothing prior to computerisation! However when in America recently had a diptheria/tetanus booster and a flu jab.

So, when I got to the K3 interview - for which you dont have to have had all the jabs as they can be done in the States - I knew that the IR1 had arrived there and they agreed to interview me for that instead!!!!! Great excitement as you can guess.

The lady who interviewed me did say that she could see the vacs were not complete for the IR1 and was very interested when I showed her the copy of the US embassy website which shows the age appropriate bit. She took a copy for her records as she didnt know about it herself!

Anyway, I got the visa and am going to the States on 11 April BUT a slight concern is that the visa is annotated with a 221G which I think relates to the vacs question. I havent been refused a visa obviously and the person who actually interviewed me didnt even mention it. So, I am presuming that I will be okay when I get there - seriously hope so after all the waiting. But we shall see . . .

By the way - there is no varicella vac in the UK and they mention that everywhere in the info on the website - I wouldnt worry about that one.

Hope all goes well for you and your loved one.
