Hello. Just want to seek your help. I am from the Philippines but currently working amd residing here in Singapore. Upon filling up the k1 visa form, we stated that I would like to do the processing of my visa in US embassy in Manila.  We received our noa2 last May 9, 2019 and we called nvc since its been a month and we havent receive any news from them. Over the phone, they told us my case number and learned that it will be in US embassy here in Singapore. How can i file for change of consulate location from Singapore to Manila? Hope to get help from you guys. Thanks in advance.

if your case still at NVC, just email them using the form on the website (don;t forget to attach proof of you PI citizenship and address in PI as well)

 

The process itself can take between 3-5 weeks if you get it right straight away and they don't request some more evidence.

Thank you for the help! We did send an email to NVC as the case is still with them with a copy of my passport attached. Hope to get it fix before they send my case in Singapore US embassy. Crossing my fingers. I do appreciate your time answering my query. God bless!
