deethch Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 My I-129F application was approved, but between my petition submission and approval date, my beneficiary moved from Japan (where she was in school) back to her parents' place in China. I submitted a letter to USCIS indicating a change of address, but that I received the approval notice the next day, so I know USCIS did not receive information of the change in time to do anything about it. However, I did include in my supplementary documentation an indication that she would be moving, and the final address she would be living at. I also listed the Guangzhou consulate as the preferred case processing location on my I-129F form. The NVC apparently ignored my request, because my case was forwarded to Tokyo instead of Guangzhou. Big problem!! She now needs a Japanese tourist visa just to get back into Japan (not easy to come by if she's Chinese and not part of a tour group). What is the best way to ensure that the case is quickly forwarded from Tokyo to Guangzhou where she actually has a chance of attending the interview? Link to comment
dnoblett Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Before returning to China did your fiancée get a police cert from Japan? There has been a few posts about having a hard time getting them from Japan. Probably need to contact US Embasy in Japan and have it forward to Guangzhou, but I would first contact NVC and ask. http://travel.state.gov/visa/about/how/how_1463.html Link to comment
deethch Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Yes, she got the police certs from her local police office in Japan before she moved. She needed me to make a copy of the Guangzhou consulate's visa application instructions so that the police office would have an official request for the reports. I suspect it's REALLY hard to get them if you don't show up at the office in person. I contacted the NVC over a week ago and have not received a response yet. They said "it will take up to 20 business days to receive a response" which was, needless to say, not that helpful. Link to comment
