Immigration AttorneyIf your priority date is current and you reside in Japan, you should be able to apply for your immigrant visa at the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo. The National Visa Center ("NVC") assigns a case number and a consular office for your immigrant visa processing. If your NVC immigrant visa case number begins with a GUZ, your case has been assigned to the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou. If your case number begins with TKY, then your case has been assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo. If you wish to change from GUZ to TKY, you should contact the NVC and provide them with proof of your permanent residence in Japan. Your case number might stay the same, but they should be able to transfer the case processing to where you reside.
