Visa interview in different consulate.

[Gravyboy 0]

Hi guys! Just a quick question. I was petitioned by mother and i am now just waiting for my interview, i have already sent all my forms out and now just waiting for the interview notice.

My case was filed long ago about 7 years back. I am a filipino and lived in manila, but has now recently, 6 months ago moved to london because of a job. Funny enough, the time i had to leave philippines, i then got emails and mail coming from the nvc saying that my petition has been approved. So while i am here in london, i have let my aunt forward tome all the letters that the nvc has sent me to my address in the philippines.

My question is, now that i am here in London, could i set my visa interview here in the consulate in london? rather than me going back to the philippines for just the interview?

thanks in advance for your help!

you can request but the possibility of it is less,depends on how busy the consulate is regarding your type of visa

You can request it, but it will take 2 to 3 months for it to be arranged to be transferred from one consulate to another. Can you afford to wait that long? So many things can happen in between.

My understanding is that if you currently have legal residence in a country other than your country of citizenship, and can prove this with documentation, you can arrange to have your interview in your current country of residence.

For example, someone from the Philippines living and working in Canada on a legal Canadian visa could have their interview in the appropriate Canadian consulate. If they can prove legal Canadian residence, they would not be made to fly back to the Philippines for the interview.

Arranging this will probably require contacting the US Consulate in Manilla, and sending them (by fax, email or normal mail) proof of your legal presence in England. As the previous poster said, this may very well add several weeks of delay to your processing, as they send the case over to the London consulate.
