Changing the location of the embassy/consulate interview

[NicolaRobert 7]

I don't know if anyone here has ever been in this situation but I'm hoping someone might have some advice and help.

My husband and I were both living overseas when we met and got married. We then applied for a visa for me as his spouse so that we could return to the USA together.

Following that, sooner than we would have liked his work visa ran out and we had to leave the island in the Caribbean where we were living. He returned to the US and I returned to the UK.

We called and changed our addresses with the NVC and they told us that in order to change the location of my interview we had to do it in writing. I sent them a letter around the 10th of December. We waited a while and when I made a follow up call to see if they had recieved the letter they told me I could actually do it via email. So on the 5th of Jan I emailed with the same information. My husband followed up with another letter from the US once he got there. I came to the US for a visit on the VWP whilst we waited for the case to be sent on to the embassy in London.

Since then we have had confirmation that our case is complete and all we are waiting for is for it to be sent out to the consulate/embassy for processing. Unfortunately there is a hold on it whilst they wait to get the interview location changed.

It's now been three months - and nothing has happened. I guess my question is has anyone else had to change the location of thier interview, and if so how long did it take? It feels like it's been so long with nothing being changed when my case could have already been sent to the embassy and I might have my interview date by now.

We're getting so frustrated as my holiday draws to a close as we are facing being apart with absolutely no end in sight. Every time I call the NVC they are unable to give me any idea of when the change might be made.
