Hello everyone,

I just received the NOA2 hard copy and it lists our consulate as Tel Aviv. The copy states that "the above petition has been approved, and forwarded to the listed consulate". The problem is that Tel Aviv is not processing K1 visas, they are being processed in Jerusalem. While the form states "please contact the consulate with any questions about visa issuance, or if you would now like them to forward the petition to a different consulate." and talks about filing Form I-824 to notify another consulate about approval. Should I try calling the NVC instead? I understand that the case will be with NVC first and from then forwarded to the consulate? Or should I wait and get in touch with Tel Aviv about being transferred to Jerusalem?

Thank you all in advance

Would you have a number for the NVC? You requested that the NVC to change the consulate? It seems that my NOA2 looks different as it does not mention anything about the NVC, I hope it does get to NVC ok

ps congrats on your approval :)

(603) 334-0700 They're open till 12 AM est, so you can still call them tonight :).

Honestly, I don't remember what was on our NOA2, if it mentioned the NVC or not. We called NVC and they told us to contact the consulate because it had already been sent there. So in your case, that might be the better option. Calling won't hurt anything though, so I would just give it a try.

Thank you! :D

I also just noticed that the letter does not say anything about being forwarded to NVC, I am worried now that this is unusual.

NOA2 is not the official determinant of the consulate. NVC will send it to the proper consulate that handles K-1's. Do not worry so much the system does work

YMMV
