Can I change the locale of the U.S. consulate that will process my immigrant visa?

Hello,

Sorry if repeated topic but couldn't find  the answer.After filing the petition I 130 for my spouse I realised that I could use a closer  U.S. consulate that will process immigrant visa.We live in Northern Ireland and I think Dublin should be the Embassy to do it but I put London.

Can I change that and how?

Thank you.

 You can only interview at the consulate that has jurisdiction over your residence or nationality.   In your situation,  that is Dublin and only Dublin. 

 

NVC will automatically correct any error you may have made

She lives in Northern Ireland, which is in the UK. She will interview in London.

You can only have an interview in Dublin if you live in the Republic. You live in the UK so yours will be in London. I understand that Dublin is closer geographically but that’s not how it works, unfortunately.
