Hi All,

I am Italian but been a UK resident for 16 years, I live, work and pay my taxes in the UK and I am register in the London AIRE (Registry of the Italians resident abroad). My passport is issued from the Italian Consulate in London, I have a C1/D visa issued from the US Embassy in London.

I am waiting for my the interview appointment for my ir-1/cr-1 visa, I would like to know, does anyone know if the interview will be in the US Embassy of the country of residence or the country of nationality?

Thanks for your help.

It will be where you filed from, based on your residential address, you don't have to go to Italy for the interview.

I did the same, NZ citizen living in Australia with NZ passport, all my paperwork went through the embassy in Sydney in fact, I even used my Canadian passport to have my visa issued in.
