I have been document qualified since June 2022 and my EB-5 case is still at NVC. However, the consulate where I am does not seem to be conducting any EB-5 interviews. Can I transfer my case to another country’s consulate if I have residency there as well? Does the whole process start again in that case, like DS-260 and document submission?

Schedule a Free Consultation with Top EB5 Visa AttorneysYes, you can transfer without starting the process all over. However, you need to confirm the change with the new consulate where you will be transferring your case to make sure that they are willing to accept your case. Good Luck.
