Changing consulates at the NVC stage

[MJ & FEK 44]

Hi,

 

We are currently waiting for an interview at the NVC stage of the process. However, due to the backlog, interviews are being scheduled about a year after DQ (this is in Canada). We have the option to potentially change consulates, as my husband has a passport for a different country. We have looked into the processing times with the other country, and it has been within 3-4 weeks. So, we want to change consulates to this country. 

 

I am wondering if anyone has done this before and if they can share their experience with changing consulates (was it easy?)

 

Thanks!

I am doing this. Not yet at the NVC stage. I am currently in the US visiting with my husband and hope before I leave in early December that our case is approved. 
 

I am a UK citizen with Canadian PR. The London Embassy is way ahead of Montreal which is one of the worst for spousal visa wait times. 
 

The Canadian forum I know recently had a lady who, like your husband, requested her case be moved to the small European country that she is a citizen of. She got her interview there in a matter of weeks. Had she not had this option she believes she’d still be waiting. I feel for those that don’t have the option to move who are waiting on the Montreal US Consulate😔
