After this, they will notify Guangzhou embassy that the file needs to be sent to them or we need to discuss with Guangzhou as well?

You're right, in hindsight we should have done that. But we listed the correct address in the 'address abroad' fields and listed Paris as the embassy we wanted to apply for the visa abroad. We thought this was enough.. this entire process is supremely confusing, we had no idea they were just going to send it to the last listed address. 

So our best best is to contact the Paris Embassy and let them know we need to transfer from Guangzhou to Paris?

After 10+ weeks waiting for information after our NOA2 was approved, we finally received an email that our petition was being sent to the embassy, only they are sending it to Guangzhou, China instead of Paris, France, where we wrote down in our application. We both used to live in China, and sent in the application in China, but had written French addresses on our application and specifically wrote Paris, France in 62a and 62b. 

We have reached out to the NVC email notifying them of their mistake. Has anyone had this happen to them? We are worried that this will delay our process even further.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

As stated above by @powerpuff you are going to file non immigrant ds160 online for K1. No fees are required at this point as you stated.

 

I would encourage input from anyone else on this because our experience very recently was interesting.

 

We had an NVC case number weeks before we received the "in transit" email. We filed our ds160 within hours of getting the "in transit" email and it was approved 3 days later to "ready" status. 

 

No actual mail has been received by either of us, only electronic communication. Maybe the differences are because of different embassy's, but it seems like applying the ds160 as soon as you have your NVC case number is the fastest? Our cases are different this isn't advice as much as it is a question.

What was the email address that sent you the case number? We have not received any electronic notifications during the entire process.. only letters sent to the address I provided, which are super delayed. We received our NOA2 on 10/2 and still no updates on it being received by NVC or having a case number.
