F3 - can medical and visa interview be transferred to other country?

[momshie 1]

I am at the process of filling up the DS-260 form for myself and my family. However, i worked outside the Philippines and i have my 1 kid with me. While my spouse is at the Philippines taking care of our 2nd child. Given the current situation is it possible to request for medical and visa interview to be done at my work country? IF it is possible, how do i request. Is it prior submitting the DS-260 form or after?

Yes, if you have residency in that country you can email an inquiry to NVC via their inquiry form to change interviewing post and send them your proof of residency.

You can move the interview for the family if you have different residency, but if I understand correctly you want some of the family to interview one place and the rest another place, and I don’t think there is provision for that. My understanding is the only “split” allowed is if the principal does AOS and the derivatives follow to join, I stand to be corrected though.

Relating to transfer of interview location; does anyone know if it matters to wait until submission of DS-260 and requirement so once NVC reviewed they will process at the same time or is it better to request early? Just want to avoid any conflict on processing, if there is.

Also, will the transfer be just online or documents will still need to be physically move or send through courier from one Consulate to another?
