Russian CR1 - Interview automatically assigned to another country?

[JPLaw 6]

I just logged into NVC's application page for the first time after my lawyer has paid all the fees for NVC already.
At the top I am seeing:

 

VISA CLASS:	CR1
YOUR CASE IS CURRENTLY AT:	NVC
FOREIGN STATE OF CHARGEABILITY:	RUSSIA
INTERVIEW LOCATION:	TBILISI
PRIORITY DATE:	07-JUN-2022

I see the interview location here is Tbilisi, Georgia although we indicated Warsaw on the application. Does this mean NVC has already assigned the interview location and it will not otherwise change?
We were planning to transfer to Kazakhstan like so many others anyway but I am a bit confused if this indicates NVC has already determined to transfer our case.

A bit odd but we were married in Georgia but hold no legal residency there.
This is positive news I guess?

Separately, is there a way to check how quickly Tbilisi processes/interviews immigrant visas? I see B1/B2 appointment wait times are at 280 days.... does that indicate I should try to transfer to Kazakhstan for a quicker interview appointment anyway?

All I have to say is Congratulations!

My husband and I were waiting for the CR1 visa interview in Mexico for 10 months before we realized that there would be another 10 months of waiting for the visa. We've tried to reach out to other U.S. embassies but they either ignored us, or told that they cannot accept non-resident cases. He had to leave Mexico so he did travel to Georgia and then, finally, U.S. embassy in Israel has accepted the case...But it's been over a month since the interview and I believe our case is in administrative processing...just runninf our of money while waiting for the decision.

 

I would say you are very lucky! If you are wondering how long does it take fore the immigrant visa interview being scheduled, you should try to find groups/forums for Georgian locals discussing it. U.S. does not disclose such information.

 

Good luck!
