Update! We are READY! Scheduling our interview now

Hi MM&MP, in your case. How long does it takes from TRANSIT to READY?

Hello @Greenbaum! 

My case file is In Transit now. When is the best time to email Vietnam Embassy to request a interview transfer from Sydney to HCM Vietnam?

Omg. Our case is finally on Transit 🙏🏼 And everything went smooth for the change in my embassy 😀

Did you successfully changed the embassy while the case is at NVC?

If you wish to have your immigrant/fiancée visa file transferred from one Embassy to another U.S. Embassy/Consulate, please contact the appropriate U.S. Embassy/Consulate directly in the country where you wish to apply and follow their instructions for case transfer. Please click here for the full list of all U.S. Embassies and Consulates overseas.

 

The old Embassy will need to receive a formal file transfer request from that U.S. Embassy/Consulate in the country where you wish to apply. Upon receipt of this request, they will immediately forward the file for the New Embassy to process.

 

Once you contact your New Embassy you then can discuss the transfer of your fee. Be sure to have your payment receipt available.

Thank you @Greenbaum. My case file has gone to the Sydney Consulate before NVC review my transfer request. 

So What is the best option to contact new Embassy to request a transfer?

- Should I call them or just email?

- Do I need to wait until the case status changes to READY to make a request? Or I can contact New Embassy now?

- If you can, May I have the instruction to request a transfer? (Such as information and documents needed)

 Thank you so much! 

Can someone help me with above questions! Thank you!

I used AskNVC public online form to request a case transfer to another embassy. However, I have to wait for them to review my request email before they sent the case files to original embassy. I will update for you.

If you used the USCIS "receipt number" then I believe you are ok. Did you include both names both birthdays both country's and USCIS receipt number? I worry that the Embassy will not be able to locate your case as it has not been assigned a NVC case number. You'll just have to wait and see what the outcome is.

Yes @Greenbaum. I submitted those information from both of us, including the attached files of our biographic passport as well. They already assigned NVC case number one day before I submitted the inquiry. The only thing is I used USCIS number, not NVC number.

which embassy do you want to transfer is in the same country... because i have a friend from Australia that she has the wrong consulate.... because there just a consulate process the K1 and they just transfer her to the right embassy....just my two cents! 

I requested to transfer to another country where beneficiary is legal residence there. Yes! Sydney consulate is the only that  K1 interview take place at. If you put wrong Consulate but still in Australia. They will automatically send the case files to Sydney.

Many can and will have the same issue. If the inquiry does not reach the right desk before your case file leaves for your original embassy then you can request that your file be transferred. Expect a delay of 1-2 months if you have to ask the embassy to move your case file.

When submitting the public inquiry to request a transfer. Is it ok to put the USCIS case number? Because I have submitted the inquiry few hours before I got my NVC number. 

Thank you @Greenbaum

Thanks God that we just got our NVC number today.

I asked the staff if we can request a transfer for interview location. She said we need to submit the public inquiry form via asknvc, and I submitted it. 

The thing is they review inquiries in order. That’s why I have to wait for the reply. I don’t know if they will send my case to the Consulate before review my inquiry form? Is anyone here have same issue?

Thank you!

I think you should open the file with Adobe Reader to type and save it. Hope you already solved this.

Hi everyone!

I am confusing to collect all the document needed for interview. All the documents below here are what I think is enough for affidavit of support to be presented at interview. Can anyone had experience help me to add more if there is missing information.

 1. Statement from employer including work position and salary paid. (correct me if there is more things to be included in the letter)

 2. The most recent pay stubs to interview date.

 3. The most recent (2017) tax transcript from IRS. (I've seen many people collect 3 years of tax return)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is other things such as bank statement, date account opened, present balance are really necessary for interview? 

Thank you!

it's been 30 days since our NOA2 and still no case number. Is anyone with received on Nov19 or later got case number yet?

Not yet... though we haven’t called since we were told it was received. I think fiance is going to try call tomorrow and just see 🤷‍♀️ 

You have the same date from Noa2 to NVC like me. But I need to catch the case at NVC to request a transfer for the interview country. Hopefully we will get through this soon.

Hello everyone!

Is anyone here with case received by NVC on Nov 19 got assigned number yet?

I just called NVC today. They said it may takes up to 6 weeks for them to receive the case from USCIS. It's long!

As I see in Packet 3. They only required the most recent income tax. Because I’ve heard that we need the last 3 years income tax. It made me so confuse. 

Also, they preferred the tax transcripts from IRS than W2 or 1040 right?

Thank you!

Hello everyone!

To:  @Greenbaum and someone had experience of transfering the case.  

 My approval is November 1. I want to transfer the interview of my fiance to her home country. When is the best time to email NVC to request a change? And do I need to call them as well? Or just email them?

Thank you!

Omg USCISAPP SENT ME A NOTIFCATION!!! It was only for site maintenance!! Omg my heart was pounding!!!

Funny thing is the Case Tracker app sent me 2 nontifications. One is an update from USCIS and another one is site maintenance. But it didn’t notice my Approval today. I have to open and reload it to get the update manually 

I am in, got approved today, first day of November.
