I have received a lot of helpful advice on this forum during my visa process, so I am trying my luck here again
We married in May 2022 and applied for an IR1 visa in November 2022. Our case was approved in October this year, and we've just submitted our documents to the NVC for review. I am currently doing a PhD in England, so my interview is scheduled in London. However, I will complete my PhD in December and might not be able to return to the UK afterwards. I am from China and could have my interview there instead. My concerns are:
1. Should I change my interview location to China at this stage? Different embassies have different processing times, and a location change could delay my visa. An alternative is staying in the UK for the 4-month grace period or getting a visitor's visa for the interview.
2. Our second wedding anniversary is in May 2024. Is it advisable to delay entering the US until after this anniversary? We are looking forward to living together again and would like to avoid further delays if possible.
