Did you receive your NOA2 from USCIS in the mail? If not you may want to let them know of the change. I think once your case is forwarded to the embassy, you can inform the Embassy of the change.

Hello,
Please, I have a question regarding my IV application process. It has been about 2 months now since when the NVC notified me that I am DQ and in the queue waiting for an interview date at the US consulate. I have contacted the US consulate herre by email, and they replied that they are yet to receive my file from NVC.
I was wondering if there are any suggestions or steps that I can take to expedite the process. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Which consulate? Some still have huge backlogs and long waits for appointments.

Helsinki, Finland

Hopefully somebody with experience of the interview wait time for that consulate can give you some info.

 

Good luck.
