Can I change my interview location?

[Rjjens2022 16]

Hi all, so my wife is currently pregnant and is due in July. We just submitted our paperwork to the NVC. Our interview is supposed to be in Rio. I was planning on having my baby in the United States we have no option to have in Brazil (personal reasons) I saw that nvc times might take a while. My wife has a tourist visa and I was wondering if somehow the interview can be changed to US field office (I know that's a long shot). I'm trying to find out options if maybe we should ask for expedite. I'd prefer her to have her interview done before she comes back to United States to have our child which would make it easier when she enters.

You know that lid would be a USC by birth if you're a USC?

 

Expedite so that she comes and gives birth in the US will not fly

I understand that and for privacy reasons I cannot disclose it's a long story we're having the child in the United States.

Nope.

Pregnancy is not a reason to expedite.

You can always seen an expedite, now whether it will be approved or not I have no idea as I do not know the reasons.

too late 

she can not fly in the last trimester of pregnancy 

that would be from may,  june and july

 

and there is no way to get this approved before May

Visa interviews are NEVER done inside the US as there are US consulates inside the US.  The best you can do is to ask for an expedite if you have qualifying grounds.  Please be aware that USCIS does not conduct visa interviews.  The Department of State does.  There are no DOS field offices.

No one here knows who you are.  If Brazil is out of the question, then I hope you come up with a viable plan B.  Good luck.

Not going to happen.  

 

And, she cannot enter the US on a tourist visa with the intent to stay and adjust status.   That is fraud.

 

Sounds like a case of your choices/timeline not matching up with current visa processing times.

No quite true. 

 

Some foreign carriers ban travel in final trimester without a doctor's note.  We had issues getting out of Philippines on Cebu Pacific and almost had issues on Cathay, American needs a Dr note at four weeks or less from due date on international,  Delta has zero restrictions, I think united is 28 weeks before Dr note.

Your plan will likely not align with US immigration law and the long processing times and strict requirements.  Either plan on having the birth in Brazil via SUS or a private hospital, or make other plans outside the US, such as Argentina.  Good luck!
