A bit confused with my process! Help! I have filed our I-29F visa with our lawyer and received our first notice the 10th of September. My fiancé is a dual citizen of Spain and Colombia and we are currently living in Australia on a working holiday visa. As our visa in Australia comes to an end in February I spoke with our lawyer about changing our jurisdiction to Spain. Will this delay our process? As of now she says we could hear back in mid March and to just wait for our interview in Australia.  Is this a realistic scenario? We will be in Asia traveling for a Few months so just trying to figure out the process! Thanks

1. If you wish to have your immigrant/fiancée visa file transferred from one Embassy to another U.S. Embassy/Consulate and your file is at the first Embassy, please contact the appropriate U.S. Embassy/Consulate directly in the country where you wish to apply and follow their instructions for case transfer. Please click here for the full list of all U.S. Embassies and Consulates overseas.

 

The old Embassy will need to receive a formal file transfer request from that U.S. Embassy/Consulate in the country where you wish to apply. Upon receipt of this request, they will immediately forward the file for the New Embassy to process.

 

Once you contact your New Embassy you then can discuss the transfer of your fee if you have made payment. Be sure to have your payment receipt available.

 

2. Or, after you have been advised that your NOA2 has been approved contact NVC to forward you file to another Embassy. You might want to PM @Von1982 who just had his case moved and he can advise. He will be knowledgably and very willing to help.

To answer your question, the answer is YES, it will delay your process. Making changes to your petition will cause delays. As of now, the average of NOA2 is 7 months. Theoretically, she might be right about receiving the NOA2 in March. However, the process from NOA2 to Embassy could take 4-8 weeks. Unless you can extend your visa or your stay in Australia, I would highly suggest you make the transfer - make the request while your case at NVC.
