How long does it take the NVC to process a change of location request?
I send an email request to the National Visa Center to change my EB-5 visa interview location. Due to this, my case number is also changed. How long does it take to process this request? I have already paid the fees online.

Immigration AttorneyAnswered onThey seem to be slower and slower. Anticipate a few months, maybe three to four months, but there is no consistency.

Immigration AttorneyAnswered onNVC contacts embassies for interview scheduling and receives blocks of interview dates that are available to assign dates to cases that are ready for interviews. Therefore, it depends on a particular embassy when it has interview dates available. You or your attorney of record should inquire with NVC as to the status of interview scheduling for a changed venue.

Immigration AttorneyAnswered onIt's hard to predict how long it will take the National Visa Center to change the location for you to apply for your immigrant visa, based upon an approved EB-5 investor petition. At the very least, it will take a number of months. Make sure first that the new consulate will accept jurisdiction of your application.
