Due to the war in Ukraine, I was able to help my fiancé escape to Mexico while we were waiting for her embassy appointment. We have been in Mexico for almost two monthsk and have to leave after six months. 
 

i got notice from USCIS that her petition was approved, but the original embassy was in Kyiv. We want to switch to Mexico because it is not possible to return to Ukraine. I have tried contacting NVC, but the phone number is just a recording that doesn’t accept calls. There is a web form to contact them, but they say it takes at least two months for them to respond. How can I talk yo someone to change the embassy?

 

Also, she left in a hurry and was not able to obtain a police report (the offices were closed due to war). Her birth certificate was at her parents house in a city that is currently under Russian control, so she can’t get that either.

 

Will she be able to get approved without these documents? I read somewhere that she needs an official government document stating why these documents are not available, but it is not possible to get any official documents from Ukraine at this time.

 

Can anyone help?

The consulate in Mexico must agree to accept the case.  You should contact them.   They can then request your case from NVC.

U for U may be quicker, have you applied?

 

You could have just applied for HP at the Border until a few weeks ago but that may not be possible now.

What is U for U?

 

What is HP?  Sorry I don’t know the lingo.

 

Are you talking about the US border with Mexico? We are staying nowhere near the US border. I have heard several stories of Ukrainians trying to enter the US through the southern border and they were denied, even when they had family in the US.

Humanitarian parole

 

They were letting people in until a few weeks ago, may be viable again later this month assuming Title 42 goes away
