Fiance on Student visa residing in UK

[MARM 7]

Hello everyone,

I have a few questions I hope some people can give me direction to the answers...

My fiance has been on a student visa and living in the UK for the past 4 years. I have filed the I-129F through CSC but in the section where it states to write the embassy where the beneficiary will be applying for visa, I wrote: Islamabad, Pakistan. The reason being is that at the time I filed the I-129F, we were not sure whether my fiance would continue to stay in UK on his student visa or whether he would go back home to his country of citizenship, which is Pakistan. We decided a few weeks earlier for my fiance to get an extension on his student visa as he needs more time to complete his degree. Now, my fiance has recently gotten an extension approved for his student visa in the UK and continues his residence there, and will be there at least for the next year.

2.) My question is: Currently my file is with the USCIS and I want to change the location for the consulate from Islamabad, Pakistan to London, United Kingdom. What is the best way to do this? I have an attorney for my case and she said that it is difficult to get it changed while the case is with USCIS because even if I write a letter to them and include evidence that my fiance's student visa has been extended, it may not reach my file at all. So she has suggested to wait until my case gets approved and transferred to NVC. And then she said to get the embassy changed there. I fear that the case might end up going to the wrong embassy (Islamabad, Pakistan) instead of the embassy in London. How can I avoid this?

3.) Also, I would like to mention that when I filed the I-129F, my fiance's residence and address are listed as his UK address and residence, although the embassy part is where it says Islambad, Pakistan, and he is a Pakistani citizen on UK student visa. Can it be possible that the NVC will automatically send his file to the embassy in London by looking at his current residential address information on the I-129F?

3.) My other question is that can I accompany my fiance to his interview for K-1 when the time comes?

4.) I also had some questions regarding the I-134:

a.) Do all the tax return signatures have to be notarized as well?

b.) My mother is the co-sponsor for me as I am a full-time student, so even though she is the only one who is the co-sponsor, will my father also have to sign the I-134 that she will fill out? And both signatures will need notarization? Both my parents file joint tax returns and the ones I will be including as supporting documents with her I-134 are filed jointly, but she is the co-sponsor, not my father.

c.) Does my mother's proof of citizenship (this will be a copy of her Naturalization certificate) need to be a notarized copy or just a copy will be sufficient?

5.) What documents that my fiance will take to the interview need to be notarized? I am asking about the copies of his passport/birth certificate?

6.) Last question...it might be a stupid one...but here goes...will his medical results be sent directly to the embassy or will he bring them along with him to the embassy on the day of his interview?

Thank you all so much for your help...I have been asking my attorney all of these questions but she keeps telling me when the time comes we will take care of everything, but I like to know everything before hand...do my research so I know what to do when the time comes...

Thanks!
