NVC finally changed the consulate!

[S and S 12]

I have been trying for many months through emails and phone calls to change my consulate from Damascus to Amman. They refused to change it saying that I had to provide evidence of my husband having residency in Jordan. This is all well and good but his expired months ago and Jordan refuses to renew it. He can't interview in Iraq for obvious reasons and Syria is now refusing to give visas to Iraqis. I explain all this and say under their own guidelines that my husband is considered "stateless" and so therefore can chose any consulate. Finally I got through to them as I called tonight and they gave me the new NVC case number. Now I just have to wait for them to review his AOS and DS-230 that I sent out Friday. Hopefully no problems though I wrote the old case number on all the papers since I didn't have a new case number when I sent it.

Anyway, I have seen other people (especially those with Iraqi spouses) who have asked about changing consulates. I wanted to put it out there that it can be done with some patience and perserverance (while at NVC).
