No, I assumed you would actually have a current address where you want to interview? Is that not the case? They need a valid address where you want to interview to know which consulate to

Thank you very much for quick reply. Yes that’s my home country. So do I have to put my home county address as current address in DS260 not US address right?

Thanks in advance

looks i wasn't clear with my question , i am not concerned with the visa for the baby , most likely will be born directly in US , I am concerned if they don't process my wife visa if she can't have X-ray during medical test .

If she can’t get something done because she is pregnant she will get a waiver for it or they will use an alternative method.

So how long are you hoping/wishing they could hold off visa issuance in this case then if your wife wouldn’t even be close to giving birth by the time you go for your interview?

Several pregnant women have gone through the medical process in the past - they were properly shielded. Alternatively you may be able to get your CS to waive the X-ray part (rather slim chance of getting a waiver IMO though).

This is correct. From the DoS website: https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...r-the-interview/medical-examination-faqs.html

If the applicant is pregnant must she have a chest x-ray? ​


The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requires that women who are pregnant and required to have a medical examination in connection with the issuance of a visa, and are examined in a country currently using the 2007 TB Technical Instructions must have a chest x-ray examination conducted. Pregnant women will have to provide the panel physician with consent to conduct the chest x-ray. For the health of the applicant and her unborn child, CDC instructs panel physicians and laboratories to provide abdominal and pelvic protection with double layer, wrap-around lead shields when they receive the chest radiographs.


Some vaccines may be waiverable due to pregnancy.
 
Hi guys, what is the procedure of transferring your DV case from one embassy to another?
For example if case has DS-260 submitted, scans requested, sent but not verified yet, case is Current, target embassy is too slow to expect to get to your case ( 20k ).
What if try to transfer case to some 'better' embassy?

You can’t simply request an embassy switch on the basis of one being “better” than the one responsible for your case. If you have a legitimate claim such as residing or having moved to a different country which a different embassy has jurisdiction over, you email KCC to unlock your DS260 form and update the new address, then following up by asking KCC to change your embassy based on the new address.

Mom,

so, you cant change the embassy in the ds260 by yourself?

following interactions on this forum, i asked kcc to unlock my ds260 (they are processing). When i get it unlocked, i will move to another country, make all the necessary docs confirming new residency, update ds260 and submit it. I thought i would just change the embassy by myself? Or it doesn’t work that way? Or i change it and email them to confirm? CN is not current, docs are not processed, ds is not reviewed yet.

please help! Thank you for your time!

They assign the consulate/embassy based on the current address listed in the DS260.

Don’t be surprised if you get asked for a police certificate for your new country of residence even if you have been there less than 6 months.

That section on the form itself cannot be changed once selected and saved or submitted. Even when KCC had approved the embassy change request, you will continue to see the old embassy still listed on the form.

Hey everyone, what if you fill "unemployed" in your DS260 ? Is it a reason to be disqualified?
Click to expand...
It’s not a valid reason for disqualification. Disqualification is you don’t meet the eligibility requirements, you lied on a form, didn’t include dependents on the entry, had a duplicate entry.

Depending on the circumstances, it may lead to questions about public charge though.
 
Okay thanks. So for previous works will they contact your old supervisor?
- And can i add internships in my previous works?
