Transferring case to another country

[Roadie635733 0]

Hello, my form I-129f has been approved days ago and I need help figuring out the steps in getting the interview for my case transferred to another country.

 

Am I correct to assume that right now I should contact NVC using the Public Inquiry Form to get my NVC case number, then contact embassies I wish to transfer to, and then get back to NVC with an official request to change interview location? Or should I get in contact with embassies I chose right now, while I'm waiting for my NVC case number?

 

My question probably has been answered before but I couldn't quite figure it out and I'm not sure how much time I have. The country I selected for interview in my I-129f is no longer viable for me, so I need to get in contact with other embassies before NVC sends my case to the original country I entered, I don't want to cause unnecessary delays.

What country is no longer viable, and which country do you want to get to?  The reason I ask this is that things are different depending on requesting the change for personal reasons vs requesting a change because a consulate is no longer open or processing visas.

 

Regardless, I found this thread that may be helpful.  What you stated is correct, you need your NVC case number and then contact the consulate you want to switch to and see if they are willing to take up your case.  If this is a specific country such as Russia, Belarus, etc., there might be more specific answers in the regional forums.

 

Good Luck!
