Hello! 

 

I am super thrilled knowing that we are approved!! The next step is submitting other documents and visa interview. 

 

The only problem I have right now is, I found out that my Interview Location is in Manila, PH. Where in fact I am currently residing with my husband here in the US. 

 

I am asked to to submit the DS-260 and pay other fees. No problem with that but we want to make sure first that we are in the right process. 

 

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME HOW/WHO  TO CONTACT or HOW CHANGE THE LOCATION OF MY INTERVIEW LOCATION to USA not Manila, PH? D595B152-E733-46BF-8553-0D5CD69D664E.thumb.jpeg.fd9067d2ae092279882fe92091431e22.jpeg

 

Thank you so much!!

Ir-1/CR-1 visa interviews are not done inside the US.  You will have to either return to PI for the visa interview....or file an Adjustment of Status package and remain inside the US .......
