Hi everyone!
I have a question about my interview date.
My case number is 2022EU00011XXX.
2 weeks ago I got my interview date: 12 January 2022.

In the email, it is written: "Before traveling to your consular appointment, please check the Department of State Visa Bulletin to confirm that your priority date is still current. If it is not, you will need to reschedule your appointment when the priority date becomes current to continue your case processing. This does not apply for K visas (Fiancé(e)/Spouse/Child), Boarding Foils and Returning Residents (SB1)."

According to the visa bulletin, my case number 11XXX will be current in February (Europe).
Do I need to postpone my interview to February or not?
Maybe I mixed up case number and priority date... I need help.

Congrats! It has happened to other people on this forum and when they wanted to schedule the appointment with the embassy, they told them to reschedule when their case number went current. You can contact your embassy to see what they propose.
 
Hello all,
I have a question regarding how to check my case from the visa status check at ceac.gov. Every time I enter my case number it gives me "invalid case number''. I have tried to enter my confirmation number and actual case number. None of them worked. What do you think it might be the reason ?
Also, yesterday I received DR email from KCC that I am ready to be scheduled for an interview. My case number is very low EU6xx and I have submitted my DS-260 on August 31 as well as my documents without KCC request. My interview location is Sofia and I just wanted to check with you if there is someone who has already been scheduled or has been to an interview at that location?
Thank you!

HI there! It won't work, you will only be able to acces it after January 1st 2022,when ceac data becomes available.
 
Hi, when do we have a medical test, prior to the interview date? Is it different for each embassy? And do you call the hospital to book an appointment or just match in?

It should be prior to interview as it's one of the requirements. Checkyour embassy as they will usually have a certain place approved to complete the medical and you will need to book with them. Some will only let you book once you have an interview date set.
 
Is it possible to do a medical test in a different country from the country where the interview will be scheduled?
Unlikely as embassies will have a set approved provider of medical exams. In cases like the UK, the doctors will send the results directly to the embassy, so you can't even bring them elsewhere if you wanted to.

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.

I have no idea of any such law or legal basis. Like you already noted, most (if not all countries) in general have different criteria for defining residency.

So according to you, I have to reschedule my interview. I can't go to the interview in January?
Are you sure? I don't want to reschedule my interview for anything...

By no means am i telling you you have to reschedule your interview. I was referring to this post I saw in this thread earlier on:

Your case is now with your embassy so only they can answer these questions - it would be a good idea to call them / contact them by email and see what can be done in your case - probably either go on with the interview on the scheduled date and they put you on AP until your case is current OR reschedule the interview once your case is current, but that is only for your embassy to decide.
