Hello, all,

We just got the text/email notification for our NOA-2. My fiancee is Russian, but is currently with me in the United States on a B-2/Tourist visa. A couple of people have mentioned that it should be possible to change the interview from Moscow to the United States if we can catch the NVC at just the right time.

Has anyone actually tried and done this successfully? My concern about it in our case is that we have not gotten the police reports yet and I am not sure if we can request those by mail...I presume they would still be required no matter where the actual interview is held?

Thanks!

K-1 Timeline:

2010/02/08: I-129F package sent via USPS Express Mail

2010/02/12: Received at CSC by Linda Fairbanks

2010/02/16: NOA-1 issued

2010/02/17: Check cashed (no legible receipt number on back)

2010/02/22: NOA-1 hardcopy received

2010/04/02: Touched

2010/04/04: Touched again (Easter Sunday?!?)

2010/04/05: Email/text notification of NOA-2

2010/04/05: NOA-2 Notice Date on I-797

2010/04/15: I-129F petition left NVC for Moscow

2010/04/16: I-129F petition enjoys a layover in Cincinnati, OH

2010/04/18: I-129F petition hangs out in Vitoria, Spain

2010/04/20: I-129F petition drinks a bit too much lager in Leipzig, Germany

2010/04/22: I-129F petition arrives in Moscow, looking like it was rode hard and put away wet

There is no US Embassy or Consulate in the United States; don't need one. You're here.

Moscow is it. Yes the Police Certs ARE required and usually take about 30 days to procure (and I would imagine not by mail). She needs to go back in time to obtain all these documents OR you can email the Embassy and have the interview rescheduled if you need more time.

As of Dec 7, 2009, now Zero miles apart (literally)!

Correct, a "visa" is used to enter a country so cannot be obtained from within the country. She's here visiting. She needs to complete her K1 process in her country of residence.
