Wrong consulate location?

Hi there,

 

I filed the fiance visa in February. My fiance lives in Germany and I put Berlin down as the consulate because I just assumed that was correct. Turns out Frankfurt is the only German consulate that processes K1 visas. Will this hold anything up in my application?

 

Also, my fiance is a citizen of Ireland but has lived in Germany for 20 years. Does that pose any kind of problem? Was I supposed to put an Irish consulate down? I'm panicking now...the wait is getting to me I guess!

 

Thanks so much!

The NVC will select the most appropriate US Embassy to forward your case to. If only the Frankfurt Consulate processes K visas, then even if you put the wrong one on the I-129F, they will still forward it to Frankfurt. 

Secondly, if your fiance legally resides in Germany, even if she's Irish, she's still eligible to apply a K visa in Frankfurt because it's her current residence.

Hope this clarified your question, bud. Like others have said, don't stress over this. You'll be fine.
