Case transfer from one Embassy to other for K1 Interview

[Elson George 259]

Hello, I am a September K1 visa filer, an Indian citizen, i am the beneficiary, while i was filing my application for K1 i was in Barcelona,Spain i opted for the visa interview in Spain but currently i moved to India due to personal reasons, my case has not been approved yet, waiting for my NOA 2 which will be probably by november. How do i request to transfer my case for interview from Barcelona,Spain to India. Thank you in advance for the answers.

Have your petitioner send a mail to the uscis to update your new physical and mailing address. NVC will send/assign your case to the Consulate in India once it gets your case with the updated address. While it could also be done during NVC for immigrant visa cases, K1 cases may be sent to the consulate before one gets a chance to change it. Once it gets to the original consulate, changing to a new consulate is cumbersome. So best is to change while it's with uscis.

@arken Thank you so much some said in facebook that i need to wait until i get approved by USCIS for NOA 2 and send a request to NVC for case transfer, i am not sure what should i do ?

No need to wait till NVC. You don't need to do anything. I already said your petitioner (not you) can send a mail to uscis to update your new address. I already mentioned why it's best to do it with the uscis rather than NVC for K1 cases.
