I wish I'd found this site 2 months ago... Question: I submitted my I-129F, but listed Calgary for the consulate (because I'm dumb). Will they figure it out and assign Vancouver on their own? Thanks.

We did exactly the same thing! We haven't gotten our NOA2 yet, but when I asked this question I had quite a few people say they had done that, too and everything worked out just fine. When the NVC gets it they will automatically send it on to the consulate you need to go to. Here's my original post, several people chimed in, I hope that helps you out! :)

See my timeline for my K-1 and AOS/EAD/AP details.

We did the exact same thing on our application in July. It was approved last month. They sent it over to MTL correctly, rather than Calgary as we had put on the form. Don't worry, they'll assign it to the right consulate.

Ya they will figure it out, and since your in Calgary, interview should be in VAncouver, which is normally good news, as they are faster at handin gout interviews than Montreal!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

WE put Vancouver which is the embassy we wanted and live within 80 miles of and and they sent it to the wrong embassy ( montreal on the other side of Cananda and we had a headache to change it....you can wait and see,

or you might want to try and contact the service center where it is and ask them to change it...they do change of addresses....when you have moved...

so I would probably go to that menu and see if you can get them to correct this now....

Just my thoughts....

May 5-sent I129f to Texas and they forwarded to CSC

May 11-priority date according to NOA1 on Hard Copy

May 14-received by CSC...notice sent (never received)

May 15-money order cashed

July 19-called about Hard copy..said they would resend

July 23-lawyer calls and is told application is lost and to resend application

July 25-sent a duplicate application to Texas and it is forwarded to VSC

July 27-called again...said they would resend from CSC

July 31/aug.3/aug.6 "touches"

Aug. 16 received the NOA1 from VSC for duplicate application

Aug. 16-called about Hard Copy...said that they would resend (3rd time) from CSC

Aug. 17-"touch"

Aug. 19-FINALLY RECEIVED THE NOA1 HARD COPY for original application from CSC

October-19-CRIS sent message that they were moving our application to VSC?!?!?

(seems USCIS sent our first application to the wrong center)

November-16 origianl is at the VSC

Dec. 3-congressmans office calls VSC...will be processed by July application date

Feb. 6-APPROVED!!!!

Feb. 7 sent to NVC

Feb. 13 sent to MONTREAL...WRONG EMBASSY!!!!!!! SUPPOSED TO BE VANCOUVER!!!!!!!

Feb. 14 arrived in MONTREAL

Feb. 20 talked to NVC center....supervisor will try to "catch" the application call back in 10-15 days

Feb. 29...talked to the State Department (Visa)...they had NVC send cable today to Montreal instructing them to send packet to VanCouver

March 4...K visa application received at VanCouver

March 6 packet 3 ARRIVED

March 10 packet 3 checklist and DS230 faxed back
