Where are interviews taken to acquire a greencard?

Question

My mom has been a legal resident in the US for 8 yrs now. She applied for me about 5-6 yrs ago. An immigration officer told her that my application would be complete this year. When she filled out the original forms, she placed my local address ( i dont live in the US ) on the application forms. I recieved one set of forms to fill out but my mom recieved most of it in america. Now I have applied to go to college in NY and my question is this: seeing that i have recieved some mail from immigration in my foreign land and my mom placed that address as the correspondence does it mean that upon completion of my application i will be called by the local embassy to be interviewed or would i be called by the immigration office in america seeing as i would be going to school there?would i be required go to the local embassy seeing that my mom put the foreign country as the corresponding address? can I ask for the venue of the interview to be changed?should i notify immigration with this?

Answer 1

Here is the deal. You have been informed that your priority date will be current this year as they are processing petitions filed as of 8 April 2002. I strongly suggest that you stay where you are and wait for the interview. Only 7 months to go. Why spend for the F1 visa and all the requirements you need to submit, let alone the expenses you will incur. When you get your immigrant visa, you can go to school anywhere you want without a student visa and work at the same time. You can't work on an F-1 visa.

The long wait is coming to an end. Be patient and just wait for it. Enjoy your remaining months in your country.**

Answer 2

Normally you would be interviewed at the US embassy or consulate nearest to your foreign address.

Since you have only applied to school in the US but do not yet have an acceptance or a student visa, continue to use your foreign address.  Since you are an intending immigrant, it is not entirely likely that you will get the student visa, for which you must prove non-immigrant intent.
