Help NVC, Address, Change of Embassy

[starlarose 1]

So for the past couple months with USCIS I tried to change my fiance's address and embassy to which I was given the answer of wait till it goes to NVC and handle it then. This was the response from 3 different reps at USCIS.

Tonight I just got off the phone with NVC which just got our package. I attempted to do what I was told and got the response at first of why wasn't it done prior to which I informed him of what happened and then told that we need to call both the london embassy and the dublin embassy to try to resolve this. Then I find out NVC has him listed as a British citizen though we clearly put he is an Irish Citizen on the application. Now we don't know what to do. The address we gave originally in London is a bad address due to former roommates that we do not get on with. He can't just keep flying back and forth between Dublin and London which was suggested.

Any advice anyone can give me? Also how long do you think will this turn of events delay us?

Wow, that's an interesting situation.

I'm assuming you want the packet sent to the embassy of Ireland, and that's what you need to worry about now. I'd suggest contacting the DoS visa office ASAP, while you're still at the NVC. Kindly explain everything that happened and they might be able to get the NVC to send it to Ireland instead of Britain. If they won't help you, try NVC again.

If it does still get sent to the British embassy, and your I-129f states that he's a citizen of Ireland, I'm guessing you should contact the British embassy and ask them to forward it to Ireland. Since it's the government's screw-up, I doubt it will be a problem, and should only delay you a few days. I'm not speaking from experience, though. Maybe someone who's had this happen can give more detail.

Once the packet gets to the right embassy, changing the address is a painless process that won't delay you. Just contact the embassy about it. I needed to do that since they (embassy) sent P3 to an impartial address.

Good luck!
