Consulate change

[ladybug24 0]

My f4 visa petion filed by my sibling was approved recently. Got my welcome letter in May this year. I fall under f4 India so I have been assigned the Bombay US consulate for the interview later. Since I am residing in Dubai for the past 21 years I requested NVC for a consular post change to Abu Dhabi consulate by email almost 2 months back but haven't got any response yet. Can anyone tell me if NVC grants  the consulate change to the country a person is currently residing in long term ?  I am totally clueless if this change is possible and if so how long is it going to take and will it delay my interview date etc . I am yet to submit my DS 260 visa application . Would appreciate if someone could shed light on this matter.

Hm we did a different visa type but the consulate allocation was actually done based on current address in DS260 which also asks where you want to interview. So maybe you should fill it in as the first step ...

Thanks a lot SusieQQQ for the response. Was desperately looking for some credible information on how this consulate change is done that I had  put on hold my DS 260 visa application process for quite some time now.  Wanted to get this sorted out before my case got  completed and sent to the initially assigned Bombay consulate for interview  because at that stage it might cause very significant delays. 

So are you very sure that I can go ahead with my DS 260 step process and this consulate assignments for the interview are done solely  based on my current address that I provide in that application ?
