I have already requested transfer of processing and interview location when we submitted DS-260, when the case was still at NVC. There were communications to contact HKG but when we reach out HKG Embassy they advised will need to have NVC send the file to them before they can do any action. Fast forward, called HKG and was advised to make the request but there is no timeline how long it takes to transfer case from MNL to HKG. At this point, we would not want to take the risk since we can already make an interview appointment in MNL. Thanks.
Daughter is graduating from high school and result of exam is tie up to potentially securing scholarship fund for college (including US). She has maximum 4wks to stay in PH (during study leave) before her scheduled exam. Yes, given the importance of the exam we just decided to schedule her interview after the exam. Thanks!
