Can I be interviewed in a third country (not in US or my native country)?

Hello, My husband and I got married last September in the U.S. and he submitted I-130 in late February. We have received NOA-1.

I am not living in the U.S. nor in my native country (where I have my passport from), but living in a third country due to my work.

It seems like it would be difficult to time my flight to go back to my native country for the interview. It would be much easier if I could just go to the capital city of the country that I work in now and be interviewed there.

My questions are:

1. Is it possible to be interviewed in a third country? Any delays, difficulties, additional forms expected if I decide to go this route?

2. I think I put my correspondence address as my parents' house in my native country. Whom should we contact and any forms we should send so they will know to mail all correspondence to my current address (in a third country) and so NVC will send my materials to the embassy in the third country? Any trouble that can be foreseen from making this change?

3. If I decide to be interviewed in my native country -- but don't want to wait until the last minute to purchase the flight (since it'll be more expensive), but don't want to delay the interview date much, when would be a good time to start looking for flights? For example, when I receive packet 3, or when I get NOA-2, etc. etc.?

Thank you!

Hi, the other thread was posted by me as well. I didn't think they were "duplicates" since the policy on CR/IR and K-3 may be different. I haven't gotten a response on CR/CI. Please let me know about this is anyone knows. Thank you!

It's generally best to keep your answers all in one thread. The above referral sends people to see what comments have already been made.

If you are asking in this thread what to do about your Immigrant Visa interview, tell us what Consulate you indicated on the I-130 (home or residence).
