Best way to delay visa interview

[Pull Dup 0]

What would be the best way for me to delay the visa interview from being scheduled? We want to get it transferred to a different country (different from her home country of China), but we don't have permission from any country's embassy yet.

 

Our I-130 was approved and we were asked to submit a bunch of stuff to the the NVC as the next step. Should we just not submit the documents until we have a residence permit in another country so we can get it transferred there? Or is there a better way to delay it after we submit everything to the NVC? We are probably 2-3 months away from a residence permit in Albania if all goes well.

 

There is no way for me to enter China with the current covid19 rules so we are trying to avoid being apart for the 3 or 4 quarantines she will have to do there. We tried asking a few embassies if we could interview as a non-resident and they all said various forms of no.

Not completing the NVC stage will delay progressing to the embassy.

It will expire if you do not communicate with NVC within a year.

Just don't let one year pass without contact.

 

FYI - Most embassies outside your beneficiary's home country will ask for some residency proof if they don't already have a backlog.

Thank you Randy32. That should be more than enough time. And yeah most of them either said they were too busy for non-residents at the moment or that they don't accept non residents without a solid enough reason.

At the bottom of my NOA2 it actually said something about keeping the case open at NVC stage

said to write,  email or call once a month and that the case would be closed if a year passed
