Can interview location be changed?

[prg321 0]

My wife and infant son's I-130s (filed separately) have been approved on the same day and their cases are currently moving through NVC.

However, my wife's case is assigned with a case # for a consulate in China (GUZ-xxxxxxxxxx), while son's case has a case # for Montreal (MTL-xxxxxxxxxx), even though they both live in Canada. I guess this is because my wife is a Chinese citizen and my son is a Canadian.

If this means that their cases will be sent to the two different consulates and they will be interviewed at two different places, I wonder if I can request NVC to re-assign the two cases to the same consulate. Is this possible?

Thanks

That is kind of odd.

Ok -- if he is YOUR son, why do you call him Canadian and not a USC by birth? Do you need to "declare" him or whatever it is to tell Uncle Sam you have produced a child overseas.

Good Luck getting the case to Canada.

He was born when I was still a Greencard holder (he didn't want to wait for a few month more .

Hi,

Sounds like the NVC has just made a mistake (assuming your wife is a resident in Canada).

To be under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Consulate she must either:

- Be a Canadian Citizen or landed immigrant

- A Non-Canadian who resides temporarily with the permission from the Can. Gov to reside in Canada at least 6 months (for example on a study permit)

- Or a person who resides in the U.S. whose most recent foreign residence was in Canada - like a student or temporary worker or landed immigrant for at least 6 months prior to entering the U.S. - which probably doesn't apply in her case.

Best to just give them a call and you should be able to sort it out.

Good luck!
