Me also in Dubai. If you get change interview destination, do let me know. My case is completed but PD is Feb 2010. So I may have sometime to get things accordingly.

When I relocated to Canada, I informed NVC immediately through email with the proof of my new country of residence. That was far before I received welcome letter from NVC. Don't wait until you are given a case number so that your application won't be delayed. Once you have case number with your initial country of residence, your application may be delayed.

I was in his situation when I traveled to Canada. Your brother should update his record with NVC with his current Dubai resident permit. Within 2 weeks he should get an acknowledgement that his record has been updated. He should also include it in his IV package when sending. With the above, his interview will be scheduled in Dubai

@ Abid

your case is little diiferent than my brother`s, he just got assigned case number starting from ISL obviously, but nothing is done besides that, so my brother called NVC himself from Dubai and told them his position, they said , it is possible to change embassy, write us(she provided email address), letter with a proof of your employment in Dubai and proof of residency in UAE.

we will review it ,and let you know our decision in 2 weeks.

then he asked ,should I pay fees on AOS ,or wait on decision?

he was told go ahead a pay the fee.

In your case, it already completed at NVC, and there is a possibilty they have already sent your documents it to Islamabad embassy,but donot just assume ,call NVC and ask, it not going to hurt asking, you never know,your file might be still at NVC.

once they will sent your file to embassy, changing of embassy chances will be slim to none.

I got opt-out request approval from Delhi(India) DHS within 15 days, but just 20 days before I got email from NVC, stating "your file has been converted to F1 as you have submitted petitioner naturalization certificate to NVC"

I called them for this and informed about opt-out request approval. They told me to send email with that approval letter.

It has been 20 days, and I'm on call at present(waiting in long Q). Let's see what they say

You make sure you get Opt-out approval, before you go for interview
