Ok not sure what to think of this, but to me it sounds like the petition is now at the consulate. Can anybody verify this? When I email Mumbai Consulate, they always tell me to go to www.traveldoc.com and when I call them on the phone, they are no help either. When I try to email traveldoc also I still dont get nothing! I feel this whole process is driving me craZy!!!!!

yes that means your case is now at the consulate, before it appears as READY it appears as IN TRANSIT so basically it means received. I assume you have your interview date already correct?

[Mel&Lal 12]

No we have not received nothing not sure if we should go ahead and download the packet 3 and send it in

I would call the Dept of State or the NVC the first chance you get. We also has this message on our visa status around the 26th, and I think all it means is your case is ready to be shipped. I say this because last week we contacted our Embassy to ask for the instruction, and were told that they had yet to receive it. I called the DoS and was told that while the website status is misleading our case was being shipped out soon, and to check with the Embassy in a week. Then today I received a letter in the mail from the NVC dated on the 30th saying our case was shipped off to the Embassy.

Edit:

NVC [603-334-0700]

Dept of State [202-663-1225]

Incase you don't have the numbers on hand.

I called the NVC on the 22 of July and they told me that the case was sent to Mumbai on the 19 of July and I got a letter in the mail from them dated July 22, 2013 saying it was shipped.

Wow, ok now I understand the white hairs the government is giving you, don't you love them for that? In your shoes I would keep on the Embassy until they said they did have it, maybe it's still in the mail but I would think it would be there at least sometime this coming week. As for the Packet 3 can you download it now and have it filled out and ready to for when they do have it? Just my thought.

Actually my fiance was suppose to have his interview on Sept 17 but since he had to get more test done for his medical mumbai consulate is suppose to be calling us for another interview.

If you go to the MumbAI consulate website and there is a schedule list of interviews for the up coming month.

Thanks for getting back to me, I have been checking that like to see if he is schedule an interview but

my Fiance got a letter that stated that he has to do medical exam and complete DS160 which i think it replaced forms DS 156 DS 230. once he do that than go to a website to pay visa and schedule interview. It looks like the procedure has been changed. Any thoughts on that doing medical exam with interview date?

Thanks again
