Hello everyone. I have a question.
How does the us consulate/embassy establish the applicant's residence place? (Besides the DS260 which kcc sends the cases to embassy accordingly)
By which legal basis do they assess whether a person is the resident of a foreign country (e.g. FAM paragraph)? Is there a law whereby the posts establish the person's residency (e.g. Dutch consulates
(Government of Netherlands) define a person's residence as the place they have lived in more than 90 days legally. Germans define it as 6 months).
I'm an AS case living in EU as a student since last year. If I apply for the renewal of my yearly student residence permit by March before the expiry of my current permit, I'll get a letter saying my residence is legal until a decision is made. The renewal could most likely take more than three months especially given the Omicron surge (probably six months). But, I could go current for May/June. Will the consulate let me in for the interview? Do they accept my University registration, city address registration and the reciept of renewal as proof that I'm a legal resident? Note that, while waiting for the decision I can't leave the country without losing my residential status.
The consulate is a 15 minutes walk from my place.
