• If your petition is being processed at the National Visa Center (NVC), contact the NVC to request the transfer.  NVC will transfer cases to another IV processing post if parties provide a written request along with the address in the requested country and the proof of eligibility (citizenship/legal residency in the requested country or other documentation). This can be provided at https://nvc.state.gov/inquiry.  In limited circumstances, NVC may need to contact you for additional eligibility requirements.  Note that transferring your case might not result in immediate processing as cases are processed in order based on the date the case became documentarily qualified. 

you will probably have to include proof of residency in Algeria (resident card, passport, mail to address in Algeria etc) 

they will change your number once it is completed but you can submit documentation while you wait for the approval 

From personal experience, using the Public Inquiry form to transfer my case didn't work. Public inquiry has never actually done anything useful in all the times I've contacted them. 

 

I contacted the embassy that I wanted to transfer to directly, attached all residency proof, and the case was transferred quickly. I would try the same if you can get through directly to the Algerian embassy by email. Some embassies have a visa-specific email, and some have none at all (just ustraveldocs). Good luck.
