yes you canchange your testing region but it's better for you to wait for your orange permit. that way all you have to do is call Sylvan & you can schedule your test date & region w/ them.

Also if you checked US in your applic form & you're in US then you don't have to pay any applic fee but if you're here in US & want to go to your homeland then you'll have to pay a certain amt. I am not sure what to do with that. Just call ECFMG.

I read on the ECFMG booklet, that once a testing region has been assigned you cant change it. Here is the link. http://www.ecfmg.org/2005ib/ibexam.html#locs12 confused

Hope you can solve your problem! Good Luck...

no change in testing region will be allowed. my friend ended up goin to singapore instead of india cause he filled asia instaed of india which comes latter in the form..shaking head

they r very rigid about that though i am not sure why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
