I know there are two consulates, Montreal and Vancouver. I understand that Vancouver is much faster so I'm hoping to get that. She lives about 3 hours from vancouver, does that mean she will get it? Or does it have nothing to do with where she lives and it's just chance?

It's all about geography

Hello,

My fiance and I sent our I-129F away back in August. At the time, we were unaware that the only consulates that process k-1 are Vancouver and Montreal. Since I live in Ontario, we put Toronto down on our I-129F as our consulate. Should we wait until NVC gets the packet and call them for a change? We have not received NOA2 yet. I've read cases online where people put the wrong consulate and NVC simply corrected it for them. Has anyone had this experience? Any advice?

I believe they'll ignore that you put Toronto and send you Montreal's way - they know TO doesn't do them.

Ya they automatically changed mine. I put down Ottawa cause I thought you went to the Embassy... it still said Ottawa on the NOA2 but NVC automatically changes it for you to either Montreal or Vancouver, I'm sure they've dealt with that a lot! :D
