NVC with wrong embassy on file😣
Here we go! So NVC has put the wrong embassy location for my Ugandan spouse to interview. They have put Kampala and not Nairobi like I indicated in my petition. He applied for a tourist visa at the Kampala location years ago so it looks like they are simply using that but it is incorrect. I have submitted an inquiry and submitted my expedite request to go to the correct embassy. Has anyone else faced anything like this before and if so what was your experience? Only comment if YOU went thru scenario or someone you know..TIA💖

It’s possible that they don’t process immigrant visas in Nairobi and send all Ugandan applicants to Kampala. I’d check the embassy’s website.

For example, my Danish wife will need to go to Sweden for her interview because the embassy in Copenhagen doesn’t do immigrant visas

Joey I sent an email to nvcexpedite@state.gov

No Dice Uganda doesn’t process immigrant visas.. Nairobi does.

USA embassy Kampala is going to start processing immigrant visa. They are trying to reduce the backlog in Nairobi. Just relax

My embassy is now changed to the CORRECT embassy. Thank you for your input. 🥳🥳

For the record, Kampala is not processing immigrant visas now and there is no backlog when it comes to immigrant visa. Green cards are always available for spouses so I’m not affected by any backlogs as far as for immigrant visas. The backlog is for non immigrant visas and those are processed in Kampala. Nairobi also processes non immigrant visas but they DEFINITELY process Immigrant visas for the majority of Ugandans.

Tracey, how did you change the embassy?

Hello Tracey, congratulations. Can you please let me know how long it took for you to get an interview at Nairobi after being DQd?
Tracey MNov 9, 2022
Hello Joe! I’m sorry not I’m not on here often. I am still waiting at NVC. I had to submit more docs Sept 30 so I should be hearing something within the next couple weeks as far as being DQd. Have you transferred over to Nairobi for interview or are you still attempting with Kampala?
Tracey MNov 9, 2022
@Layth sorry for the late response. You can send a request to NVC inquiry.. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html

Hi Tracey M. May I ask what steps you had to take in order for you to have the correct embassy involved (i.e. Nairobi)? My beneficiary is from Kampala and unfortunately on my I-129F I mistakenly specified Kampala as the nearest US Consulate. Now I'm very worried based what I'm reading in your post that this will delay us even further. This is for a K-1 nonimmigrant visa btw. Thanks for any information you can provide.
