A few general questions

[Fionalego 0]

Wondering a few things,

What if I am visiting when the petition is approved? Can I do the medical and interview down there?

Are the online time estimators fairly accurate?

Do they dictate where the medical and interview will be held? If the office for the interview is far do you need to travel there to do the interview?

Once married you then apply for a green card? but you are allowed to live in the States?

When can you move your personal belongings?

1. If you're visiting, it doesn't matter. It'll be a few weeks before your case is forwarded to your local embassy via NVC.

2. No. You can only do the medical/interview in the country you live in.

3. The time indicators are only estimations based on other VJ members experiences. Predications are hard to make.

4. Yes, it's dictated by your residency.

5. Yes. Once you enter the US with the K1, you must marry within 90 days and file for Adjustment of Status (see the guides). This will be how you get your greencard. Assuming you marry in the 90 days, you get to live in the USA while the adjustment happens (and onwards, assuming that is successful).

6. When you get your K1 and are moving to the USA with it to marry. You should not move your belongings before you get your K1.

More specific responses can be provided re: interview/medical if you fill out your info better so folks know where you live.
