No it should not make a difference! the investigation is still active in Washington it just the embassies will change.

Hey everybody!! Anyone of you who got DS5535  received your visa recently? Some people get their visas after 2-3 months of receiving this form, others take more than 6 months .. Some get visas after 10 months.. And some are waiting since one year ... Dont know what is exactly happening. So frustrated.. It's been 10 and half months since my interview. Please anyone of you with I-730 petition and v92 category reply here...

10 months and 3 days since my fiancee had her interview.  From my useless Senator's office: 
"The administrative processing is an extensive congressionally mandated process that cannot be waived and is a requirement.

 

It is a stage that takes time. It requires the case to pass through several different agency checks. It does not remain with the Department of State for duration of the review, but goes to other federal agencies so that they may complete their screening process as well. For that reason, administrative processing can take a while to see itself through. I know this has been incredibly frustrating. But, it is hard to say how much time this could take."

No this is my opinion. You should deff contact the embassy and let them know or ask them this question.

I would be careful with this. Wondering what the embassy said. Also wondering where you are from, have lived or worked and whether you have lived in Pakistan before.  Also, 17 months is a very long AP.

I would consult an immigration lawyer. Considering the current administration, they may make you start from the beginning just because they can.

Yes, I asked them this question, they are like if we transfer your case to another post. Then you should ask them for your case information. I don’t know why they don’t reply accurately. Might be they are forbidden to say anything.
