Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
My spouse visa interview was in London Embassy in April last year. My Waiver of Inadmissibility was approved by USCIS 2 weeks ago. Today London Embassy NVC contacted me to say I needed new doctors appt from London surgery, police certificate and to come in to embassy for fingerprinting. However, I have since moved to USA (my L1 was issued since April).
2 Questions:
- Can I complete the spouse visa process from USA? ie Instead of going to London can I go to a USA doctors, USA NVC for fingerprinting? I will obviously ask NVC this question but expect to get a quicker response here.
- Should I apply for adjustment of status as an L1 visa holder transferring to a spouse IR1, or would this unnecessarily delay the process? I am concerned that I am currently at the end of an incredibly lengthy and stressful process and changing my application now may put me back to square one.
Thanks in advance Ian mtsm and hopefully shiversaint too for your ever-appreciated expertise #legends

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
No - but since you're now in the US, why would you want to bother?
No, and no.
Oh dear god, why bother? They're not going to answer your questions or give you any advice.
Yes... probably easier all around.
I understand what you mean... but that's not what you'd be doing. You'd simply be adjusting your status based on marriage to a USC.
You're already in the US in legal status. File to adjust your status and move forward with life.
You might want to contact London and let them know you are no longer pursuing an CR-1/IR-1 visa.

Thanks for quick reply Ian...
So I have flexibility/choice in my employment, not afraid of getting booted out if there's a problem with my job and can start the process for citizenship sooner
Fair point
But the question remains - wouldn't adjustment of status mean beginning a whole new process, with new forms, new waiver of inadmissibility, new fees etc?

@Ian, you are as ever are the voice of reason. You make a very good point that they are probably contractors. However my point being that on point 3 RE: me missing my summer holidays, the reply below from shiversaint was SPOT ON! Thanks @shiversaint. It is indeed 30 days which illustrates my point, shiversaint appears to know more than the consulate misadvice line!! If they could have just mentioned that it would likely have been 30 days I could have happily booked a holiday worry free.
Now, you may ask how I know that shiversaint is correct?
I made the call described earlier at about 12.30pm my time.
Lo and behold, 4 hours later...

Are we 100% that we are powerless to influence in any way? That is the mother of all coincidences...

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
Prepare yourself for a painful call with not much good advice. FYI, there is no actual option for advice at all, I pressed option 3 for appointments and you get through to someone.
On another point, I would like to thank all the really helpful people who have offered advice in this thread, you have kept me sane. Ill keep monitoring and try to help others with my very limited experience.
For the record, to reiterate, my appointment was 14th April so thats 22 weeks! If you are waiting, hang in there

Hoping I hear something next week.

You have to print the courier in part and this has your ds160 details on it so thats all you should need along with your passport
Take them down to the dx delivery people and thats it wait for it to be returned

Re: Nonimmigrant Visa Waiver of Ineligibility Application
Yes it has the detail on the courier in page but it says to include my DS160 and passport.
Waited long enough so don't want to get it wrong.
