Question on US Consulate

[pars3221 0]

Hello everyone,

WE are working on the paperwork for my wife's mother, (getting to the DS230 part) I had a quick question. Her case number begins with letters NPL. Does that mean she will be interviewed at the US Embassy in Naples, Italy? If that is the case is there any way to for the Visa center to change the Embassy or will this just delay her process?

The reason I am asking is she does not speak any English and if her case gets transferred to other embassies (like Ankara, Turkey or Abu Dhabi) her sister can travel with her and assist and will not require to get a EU visa. In Additon the cost of the travel to Italy is much higher

Thanks

Where is her country of residence?

Consulate that has jurisdiction over her place of residence is the consulate that does the interview... unless there has been a residence change you cannot consulate shop...

FWIW, interviews are performed in the native language of the consulate country or English...

she lives in Iran. Actually I called the NVC Customer service and they said I can request a change to either UAE or Turkey by either e-mailing or writing, but I am just affraid if I chnage it, it may cause a delay... I don't know what to do.

It could because the case file would need to be transferred...
