Scan date: Jan 15. No response yet....

Try to contact nvc and ask to change it . I am over a month waiting now to transfer mine from hong kong to philipines . Mine was already sent to consulate before I requested the transfer .

Thank you for the response!I guess I should switch as early as possible.

Good luck with your waiting, you are almost there!

Yes, you can switch. To do so, contact the NVC and explain the circumstances. Before paying fees and submitting paperwork, ensure that your case number begins with GUZ.

With a GUZ number, you can scan and email forms and documents to the NVC (if you do this, your case number will be changed to GZO).

Thank you Ryan! A follow up question, do you think if I choose electronic processing in China is going to be faster than having the case processed in Switzerland? Intuitively, I thought in Switzerland is shorter cauz very few people apply, but maybe EP in Guangzhou is going to be more advantageous?

Am I right that before the case completed in NVC, there is nothing to do with the consulate regarding the processing speed?

Thanks a lot!

Dear all,

I have a question here urgently. Thank you for your help in advance!

I filed the IR1 in Switzerland, now it was just appoved by USCIS, not sent to NVC yet.

But I am moving in a month back to China, because my contract in Switzerland ended with a short notice!!

Can anyone tell me what should I do? Can I change my overseas consulate to China?

Thanks so much guys! Since I have only one month left, it's really urgent!

Thanks everybody for your response. I might just give up on this thought and wait for my I130 to come eventually...

Thanks for replying. Do you mean that I might not get my J1 or might not get my IR1?

hello all,

I have a question and will be rwally appreciated if anybody can help! My husband filed I130 for me 6 month ago, unfortunately, we didn't receive our NOA2 yet and don't know when it will.

Since it's still a long time to wait until I will eventually get the visa, I am wondering if I can apply for a J1 visa and enter the U.S. in the meantime? I already got a postdoc position.

Doea anybody know what to do in this situation? Thanks a lot!
