Hi!
I've received confirmation that the sponsorship application has been approved on July 21st however the PR application has been sent to Nairobi for processing.
Here's the situation: My husband is from Central Africa and has moved to buffalo since july 15th 09 (a little over 1 year), he's not in the US illegally. On the AOR it states:Effective May 1, 2003 Applications for PR must be processed by the visa office responsible for the applicant's country of nationality, OR the country where the applicant has been lawfully admitted for at least one year, OR in the case of applicant who is stateless, the country of habitual residence .... However please be aware that the visa office has the ultimate authority for the processing of this case and does have the right to transfer the file to another visa office if required.
My question is: can I contact Nairobi and initiate the request to transfer? If I can do so is there a special form that i need to fill out? how can i initiate this type of transfer request?
