I received a letter from the Visa processing center 1/26/09. They sent the case to be processed in Iraq (where my fiance worked when we first applied). We do have a lawyer and I notified them that he had left for Nepal (his home) in October that was 3 months ago. I'm not sure how it didn't get corrected.

I notified our lawyer of the error. He said it was a typical error when people move that happens. I got a notice from the lawyer a few days later he couldn't get a hold of the visa center and would keep trying. I wasn't to worried about it as it seemed like a simple correction.

I got an email from the Lawyer (assistant) yesterday saying they would contact the embassy and request patition for removal and that would "TAKE A WHILE".

Has anyone been through this before ? I sent a letter to the law office asking how long a while is but of course I got no response from them as of yet.

If anyone new is thinking about using a lawyer for this process let me say from experience DON'T. Everyone on this site is very helpful and friendly. If I had known about this site before we started the process I would have never spent the money on a lawyer. We will not be using a lawyer regarding the greencard application. I will do better figureing out on my own for free.

Your lawyer did not contact NVC before the petition left the US to have it sent to the right consulate. If you notified your lawyer before your NOA2 (petition approval) he probably forgot all about it by the time he needed to contact NVC to do this.

Well it seems he did not keep trying....the petition left NVC and went to the consulate that it was initially supposed to go to. It may be a simple corrections, but it should have been done to not incur a delay.

You may want to investigate this 'take a while' a little further. From what I've seen, it can take some time for the petition to reach the right consulate after it has been mistakenly routed. I would call NVC myself, and try to speak with a visa specialist. Give them your case number (careful, as this is no longer your USCIS issued number, once the petition gets approved at USCIS and sent to NVC, another number is issued) and explain your situation.

Your lawyer needs to account for why the address change was not done if you notified his offices well in advance of this.

Thank you for your information. I tried calling the Visa office several times. I can't get through. Keeps telling me due to high volume call back at a later time.
