NVC sent our I-129f to wrong embassy

[Wiggly123 1]

Hi everyone!

Our approved K1 petition has been sent to the Paris embassy but we wrote we wanted it sent to the London embassy. We half expected this to happen because at the time I was between homes so had to put my mums French address down, as that’s where I was temporarily living. I now live back in England. It would be no real inconvenience for me to have my interview in Paris as i could stay at my mums and this would save us the hassle of transferring our case to London.

Is it ok for me as a UK citizen to have my interview in Paris? And if so how does this effect things like my police check (do I get this from the UK still)? Would the medical take place in France too or England?

I appreciate your help,

Tom

Thats why they sent it to Paris because you put a french address. They go by whats on the form. You can contact the embassy and try to have them send all of your casefile but be warned this has been tried many times and you are looking at months of delays and I do mean months.

Contact Paris Embassy. Your situation is bit complicated. Contact them before they start processing. Since you are from UK, you need UK PCC anyway. Typically you have to be a citizen or a legal resident of that country to use that consulate.

I know, but i also though that as they ask which embassy you want it sending to, they might take that into consideration too. I wonder what the point of asking is. I'm fine having it in Paris as long as that's acceptable for me to do. We would rather avoid the hassles of transferring it.

If Paris embassy refuses to take the case, then They have to contact the london embassy and they have to accept it. Did you get a case # from NVC.

ah ok i dint't know that. Well that's another problem we've got, somewhere along the line my birthday got changed so NVC wouldn't give us our case number. They asked my fiance to email them with a request to change my birthday to my real one with an attachment of my passport page, so she did that yesterday.

Thanks for your help!

The transfer protocol is for your desired consulate London to make the request to Paris to have the case released to them. London uses a contact form. Give them your new Paris case number...did you get it from NVC yet?

http://london.usembassy.gov/niv/visa_contact_form.html Choose "My inquiry concerns immigrant visas and is not covered by information on your website" as the reason.

How long did you live with your mum? Do you need a French police certificate?

super! thanks a lot! No we tried but have had some complications with getting our case number. My fiance has emailed NVC about the issue so we should hopefully get it soon. I lived with her a a couple of months but went back to England in that time as well. Is it 6 months you have to live somewhere to get a police check for that county? Thanks again!

Call the NVC (have fiancé call) and ask what is our case number. If the case is gone, there is nothing they can fix for you so just ask for the case number. Then you can track it on CEAC. If it says "ready", it is in Paris.

But how do you know it went to Paris? Did your fiancé get a letter from NVC saying so? The letter would have the case number.

NVC 603-334-0700

Hours: Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to midnight (EST). Best time to call is 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM to midnight (EST)

She already has called NVC and they told her our case has been sent to Paris. He said because she gave my incorrect date of birth(which they messed up, she did tell them the correct date) he can't give us our case number and said to email them requesting my birth date to be changed. She hasn't received a letter saying it has been sent to Paris though. Is it standard too receive that? Thanks!

I guess I don't follow what you are saying. If they can say the case went to Paris, then there must be a case number they can also see. Or is the "case went to Paris" a hypothetical answer because she asked where cases with French addresses go? You actually don't know if the case went to NVC or left NVC? Normally a call to NVC can tell you when the case arrived, departed, and the new case number. So maybe you are saying they can't pull up anything on you and there is no specific information where your actual file went to Paris. Yes, the NVC notifies the petitioner with a letter. It takes a while to be issued so that's why eager beavers call to find out in advance of the letter.

I’m as confused as you are. They specifically said our case got sent to Paris on the 3^rd of Feb. My Fiancé then asked if they had our case number (I listened to the whole conversation as she put it on loud speaker and I was on skype). The guy at NVC then responded with ‘’we cannot tell you your case number as you gave me the wrong birthday of the beneficiary’’ (they messed up, she told him my correct birthday but I guess it got changed somewhere along the line). My fiance asked him what we can do about this and He then said ‘’email us with the beneficiaries birthday and a copy of his passport so we can amend his birthday, and in the email also request your case number’’. So she has done that. Therefore i'm assuming that we do have a case number but they are unwilling to give it us because of the birth date issue.

Thanks for your continued help.

It took month for me to transfer case from one embassy to another. I got new NVC case number when they transferred it. So just giving info about how long it might take.
