L1 Petition - Change of Consulate Country ?

[AKAI]

Hello,

I see there are long waits for L1 visa stamping in my home country (India) ( ~ 90 calendar days). I guess we should book a schedule only post receipt of approved petition , right ??

I am also a long term resident of another country presently (Thailand) as I have valid work and resident permit there. The wait time is only 6 calendar days there. Is it possible to take all the necessary documents and apply for stamping in the embassy in the other country. I am still there and can easily provide evidences of my residential status including apartment, taxes, local registrations etc.

Basically want to apply for stamping in this country where I have been staying for the last 2 years already. Please advise if its possible.

I see two options.. not sure if allowed or not :
Changing of consulate location in same country of where I am citizen (India)
Changing of cosulate location to another country where I am a legal resident too (Thailand)

Can we apply to another embassy / consulate location for stamping other than what is mentioned in Part 4 of the I-129 ? Or does that have to be modified ?

Appreciate a reply.. thanks..

You would have to get a revised I129.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

This is for both change of location outside that country (eg. I-129 states Thailand whereas application is being done from India) or also for situations within the same country (eg.. applying in Delhi whereas I-129 states Chennai) ?

The Revised I-129 process is a simple process considering the nature of change or its the whole cycle again ?
