Has anyone had their case transferred from one embassy to another?

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).

I'm the opposite problem. My husband and I got married in Damascus, Syria and he since went to Amman. It took him about a year to get his visa into Jordan and there is no way we will risk him going back to Syria as he wouldn't be able to get back into Jordan where his family is. NVC keeps giving me the runaround on moving his case to Jordan though I keep pointing out he is considered stateless being an Iraqi so he can switch embassies. I wish we had an interview. I put his paperwork in back in September of last year and we have been married since May of last year. We got a little delayed because he did the refugee processing for the United States so he couldn't send me his documents I needed to send to NVC with the visa application. That and he needed the new Iraqi passport which took 7 months to get
