Transferring an application (I-129F) from one embassy to another

[againstthegrain 0]

Does anyone know how long the process is of transferring a case from one U.S. Embassy to another?

The NVC idiotically sent our I-129F case to Amman, Jordan instead of Damascus, Syria where my fiancée resides (and which was specifically stated on the I-129F application). I've contacted the U.S. Embassy in Amman, and they said that we can have the U.S. Embassy in Damascus request the case be transferred.

However, they didn't give us any indication of how long this process would take. Does anyone know? If it is a matter of a few days to a couple weeks, we'll do it. But if it is a matter of a few weeks or months, I'd rather travel to Jordan with her.

The problem is that she is Iraqi, and could be denied reentry to Syria if she leaves (and Jordan isn't granting Iraqis visas easily these days, either).

Has anyone transferred a case from one embassy to another? How long did it take?

I am in the process of transferring my parents file. It has been three days so far, I don't know how long it will take. But I have been told they cannot be interviewed at the old embassy, must be interviewed at the place of residence. So I don't think you have a choice in the matter (plus, what if they ask for more documents or something rather than approving it right away?)
