September 2013 Filers

Thanks! Every time I ask them they just tell me they don't have that information. All I know is it arrived on the 4th.

So as I am moving forward it seems like what people are saying to do next is the DS-160, pay the visa fee, and schedule her medical exam right? I'm a little confused because the NVC agent I talked to today said to not do anything until the packet has arrived in manila. Is there a problem if she starts getting these things done right now?

pay the visa interview fee of $240, wait for the embassy to receive the payment and schedule the interview online, you have to do it fast, as of 8:05 am Manila 12/6/2013 the earliest available date slot is on March 24, 2014.

Woo!!! I couldn't get a case number for 10 days after TSC shipped to NVC. Here's to hoping the process flies now!

We were able to schedule the medical, get all the police reports and sent off everything she needs. She still hasn't received a packet 3 from the Jerusalem consulate but we got the packet 3 off the website and did everything. Medical needed her JRS2013# so we had to have it to perform medical. Also, filed out the DS-160 online.

Thank you, I had read on another post that the doctor wouldn't do the medical until you had an interview booked. But maybe that was either consulate or doctor specific, I'll have to look into it.

Ok will do. Thank you very much. Wow I didn't think slots were filling that fast.

So should we also be completing the DS-160 and scheduling her for her medical exam right now or do we need to wait until the packet is in manila?

Thank you so much Palmtrees, yes i was so excited and looks like when you get the NVC case number it goes a little faster now,i already have my interview schedule and medical hope everyone receives good news here as well Smooth sailing friend

Wow congrats! I'm guessing scheduling your interview that fast is specific to your country? I don't remember reading people doing this for the US Consulate in Brazil. So NVC sent out your packet the next day? Where did you find that out?

[TrixieStep 10]

What's the advantage of getting the case number ASAP? Don't we have to wait until it gets to the consulate, and they contact us for packet 3? (Which would include the case number)

Or is there something we can do with it in the meantime?

The only advantage for us (he'll be interviewing in London) was the ability to track the case on the CEAC site. You'll know when it ships from NVC to the consulate and when it's 'Ready'. We didn't want to do the DS-160 or do the medical before our case arrived and was ready or before he was instructed to do so. We aren't in a massive rush as we were planning on an early May arrival here and that hasn't changed.

It's under Immigrant Visa. Here's a link:

Just checked CEAC and we're already listed as "In Transit." That was fast!

Do each of us need to write a letter of intent or can we simply sign the same letter written? Thanks in advance.
