Fiance moving before interview, after NOA2

[Buffum 1]

So this is unexpected, but my fiance just found out that she has to move from London back to to Nova Scotia this week, which is her native country.

We got our NOA2 last month, and the consulate received our package last week.

So now that my fiance is moving back to Nova Scotia, our interview will have to be at a different embassy.

What is the process that we have to take to arrange this? Is it possible? I'm worried this might throw a major wrench in our visa process.

I think you contact the Embassy you desire to have the interview held and explain to them. They will ask for some information but I think it should be ok.

Just that they may have different loads so scheduling may be tighter.

Hi! The exact same thing happened to me, I had to move from Trinidad to Germany after I had applied. My case got sent to Trinidad, so I had my lawyer contact the Trinidad and German embassy. What had to be done was, contact the German embassy and the Trinidad embassy to inform them both about what was going on. The German embassy then had to email the Trinidad embassy and request the case file transfer. Once the Trinidad embassy received the email, they sent it over to Germany and Germany sent us a conformation email that they had received the case. The case file number ABC2015656123 stayed the same. Hope this helps!!

It will delay your process for sure because transfers don't usually happen quickly. She will have to contact the embassy in Montreal and ask that they accept her case. They will initiate requesting the case from London. Her case number will remain LNDxxxxxxxxx. Find Montreal and Immigrant visa from the list http://canada.usembassy.gov/contact/public-inquiry-form.html

Once Montreal receives the file, they will (should) send her a "packet 3" instruction letter of how to proceed. http://photos.state.gov/libraries/canada/303578/montreal/Packet3-K1-MTL.pdf

Thanks for all the advice. I just submitted an inquiry with Montreal, so hopefully I'll hear back from them within 2 business days like their website stated.

I tried calling but I kept getting a dial-up sound and then a hang-up, and I had no way of contacting the London embassy with my America phone.

I'll keep you guys updated! Thanks again.
