Can I attend London Consulate for my interview with an Irish passport

[SDoake 6]

Finally got past the petition stage (only took a year!), yay! 

My case has now been sent to the NVC. They have recorded my Foreign State of Chargeability as UK (I assume because I was born in Northern Ireland) but I have an Irish passport (due to the unique situation of nationality within Northern Ireland) and I requested in the petition to have my interview in Dublin. The NVC, for some reason, have put London as my interview location.

 

Can I:

 

a) attend the London consulate on my Irish passport for my interview?

or

b) get the NVC to change the interview location?

 

I sent them an email but they are slow to reply.

 

Thoughts much appreciated,

 

Thanks

You can attend and present any valid passport

Chiming in to say that it might be better to stay with London as your interview location. With the Level 5 lockdowns, Ireland case processing has been pretty much at a standstill for months now, with things only recently starting to trickle back to life. You might have a faster time with London, if you are able to make the trip over.

Good point, I will take that into consideration! If I have go to London I think I will have to do my medical over there as well which means two trips over, since they recommend doing your medical no sooner than 5 days before the interview to give them time to send the results to the embassy. However if it will be quicker it will be worth it!
