Thanks for the update and good luck with the interview.

Please let us know if you were successful to change the embassy. I would like to also change it from ABD to Yerevan once our I-130 petition is approved

Correct that is why I am trying to change it from Abu Dhabi to another location. At this point I would rather to wait until I-130 is approved then checking the visa wait times again at that time. Things might change by then you never know. An embassy that might be slow now might actually be faster 7-8 months from now. do you know any source/website that tracks the wait times for embassies/consulates around the world? The link below from DoS does not show wait times for IR1/CR1 cases? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/wait-times.html

Thanks, I see. That makes sense. have you tried doing this change when case is with USCIS still?

Thanks for the response. My beneficiary is from Iran and there is no USA embassy or consulate in Iran. Usually for immigrant visas, USA embassies in Ankara, Abu Dhabi and Yerevan handle the cases so I am not sure how NVC chooses in this case. I see Abu Dhabi seems to be slow so would prefer to change it to Yerevan now as it seems to be just slightly better for interview appointments.

Is it possible to change the interview location after I-130 petition is filed? We are still waiting for petition approval and would prefer to do it now rather than when it’s approved
