Any ideas?

After our NOA2 approved and NVC received our documents from USCIS(without the case number), Can we just try to call them and try to change the address from Japan to Thailand?

My wife moved back to Thailand after she graduated from Japan.

or Do we have to wait until they assigned us the case number first and then try to change the address so the interview place will be in Thailand?

Thank you in advance guys!

I'm sorry but what I'm trying to ask is that "Are they gonna be able to change the consulate for us before they give us the case number" (the period that NVC received the documents from USCIS and didn't assign us the case number yet ). but thank you anyway and I'm sorry for writing two times. My question is just not clear due to my bad english. lolz

I answered this before but you may not have understood. Lets try again. Believe me I understand about the English because I have worked on mine for a long time now. You are doing fine. If after reading this you still have trouble with any part of it just say so. Myself & others are here to assist.

The American citizen could write to the duty officer at the American consulate to ask for assistance. That would be the one in BKK. Give the duty officer the USCIS case number you have so they can go from there. Tell them what you need to do & why. They should be able to find the case & help you have it transfered. Its possible that they will find the new NVC number for you as they try to help.

See the info I copied here:

So we don't have to wait until NVC assign us the case number? We can just call the US embassy in Bangkok and explain to them. Is that right?

Thank you

My husband gave them the USCIS number and asked them to help find our case when it seemed lost. The duty officer in BKK contacted NVC and found the case location.

That is what I am suggesting you do. Give the duty officer in BKK your USCIS number while explaning that you want the case transfered to BKK from Japan.

It is VERY important that you understand the difference between the embassy visa section & the consulate. The consulate provides services to American citizens. You need such a service rather than something connected to a visa at this time. Use the info I gave you to contact the correct department of the American govt.
