IR-2, so are you the dependent on a spousal visa application? If the parent that you're the dependent of is also in Malaysia, which consulate have they been given?

Where does the IR 1 want to interview?

You should contact the NVC or the embassy in Malaysia immediately to request a venue transfer. Provide your proof of residency again and explain that you have no ties to the other location.

Kuala Lumpur

So, wait for them (NVC) to respond notifying you of the transfer to KL.  Mumbai is where the only Immigrant Visa Unit for the USA is in India.   Yes, we used to refer to that city as Bombay.  A number of cities now have correct names on maps.  You can blame the brits for the earlier mistakes.  For example they couldn't pronounce Guangzhou, so they called in Canton.  Go figure.

Dependent of the petitioner? Or dependent of a beneficiary?
 

Is your parent being petitioned (i.e. by a USC spouse)? Or are you being petitioned by a USC parent? I assumed the former as you’ve put this in the spousal visa forum but please clarify. If you are the dependent of another beneficiary then which consulate have they been given for their interview? 

 

When is the interview? If you’ve given proof of your residency in Malaysia then it’s just a case of waiting for NVC to get back to you. How did you contact them?

Off topic completely, but you can blame the Portuguese for that, not Brits! Ditto Bombay. Both anglicized versions of names the cities were given by Portuguese traders. https://amp.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/article/3103607/why-new-york-mumbai-and-guangzhou-were-once-known-other
