EMBASSY CODE ON NVC CASE NUMBER

[Eagle Eye 0]

I am concerned that they misfiled me. My NVC case number starts with the 3 letters for my country of origin embassy not my country of residence. Is this right? or is it a mistake that is going to bite later????

the 3 letter code is for the Embassy that the visa will be processed thru. Example Philippines is MNL for Manila.

That's correct, that is the three letter code for the embassy/consulate where the interview will take place. The interview generally takes place in the country of which you are a citizen.

This is incorrect - plenty of foreign nationals get interviewed in countries other than where they are citizens.

It IS correct that the interview generally takes place in the country of citizenship. However, it is also true that plenty of foreign nationals get interviewed in country of residence instead. If that's what the OP wants, they need to contact NVC and correct the mistake.
