itsmeusa Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 You don't need to file I-824. Just select the US consulate where you would like to appear for visa interview (home country preferred), submit DS-160 and take an appointment. Link to comment
pv111 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 thanks a ton 'itsmeusa'. he is being given i-797c and he is specifically asked to go to Mumbai as his passport is in that zone. Also mentioned that if he wants to change embassy request i-824. he dosent have vacation and he wants to go close by location like jamaica or canada as he is currently in usa. is that possible to go here without filing i-824 Link to comment
itsmeusa Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Possible (as many of us routinely did that), but attending visa interview at home country consulate is always recommended. Link to comment

He could end up having to fly to his home country from Jamaica or Canada. It is best to just go to the home country. Link to comment
JoeF Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 If COS was denied, there is a reason for it. That largely increases the likelihood of a visa denial in a 3rd country. Why gamble with going to a 3rd country? Link to comment
