Transfer an Immigrant Visa Case
From Embassy Baghdad to another Embassy/Consulate
If you wish to have your immigrant/fiancée visa file transferred from Embassy Baghdad to another U.S. Embassy/Consulate, we will need to receive a formal request from the other Embassy/Consulate. Upon receipt of this request, we will immediately forward the file to them for processing. To get the transfer started, you should send an email request to the Embassy/Consulate where you wish to apply, explaining the reason for the transfer. It is also a good idea to include evidence of your legal permission to remain in the country where you wish to process the visa. Please click here for a list of all U.S. Embassies and Consulates.
From another Embassy/Consulate to Embassy Baghdad
If you wish to have your immigrant/fiancée visa file transferred to Embassy Baghdad, you should contact the Immigrant Visa Unit and explain why. If we approve the transfer, we will contact the Embassy/Consulate that currently has your file to arrange for the transfer to Baghdad. Please note that it can take several months for the file to be transferred.
