We just got our NVC Case number!!!! so excited! =]

Congratulations.. Now you can be able to fill out the DS 160 online. Hope you got your invoice and beneficiary number from NVC. You will need it.

Good luck.

Called 7 times to NVC today, the recording suggested our case is not an "immigration" visa, gave us another number to call; so we tried that number for another 4 times, on hold for abt 40 mins, thought we'd at least get to talk to someone this time, didn't even mind if they tell us to call back the original number for immigration visa. But no, nothing, only the recording. Gee, are we being cursed?

Keep calling. I always chose option 1 because we never received a letter from nvc, but did have the src number. So when they answer it was what is your receipt number.

Medical done today..glad that's out of the way...our embassy wants all the paperwork before booking the interview it seems.. Once again I have a lot of work to do.

You're almost there. I know the paperwork is always the hardier part.

Good luck on your journey.

Good morning VJ family. The Consulate replied my email this morning, telling my fiancé to use his visa payment receipt to make an interview appointment online and follow the instruction for fiancé visa applicants @ htt://us travel docs.com. If he encounter any problem accessing or using the online appointment system to email or call them. I thought they give the date I guess things have change.Wow! Things are moving.

Very soon we will be with our love..

Thank you...yes we are definitely closing in on this ...There are a few things they want that I wasn't expecting.. just differences in each embassy really. We are almost there though.. you're right.

Our CEAC status indicates our file is ready, but the Bombay consulate has yet to reach out to us with instructions. Super frustrating.

I called them twice, but no email with Packet 3 or further instructions yet.

Sometimes it takes several weeks for the Consulate to get back to you after your file is received from NVC. You can start with filling out the DS 160 online, but you will need your case number, invoice number and beneficiary number from NVC. I understand you can't wait for this process to be over.

I am really confused about what you mean by invoice number, case number, and beneficiary number. Can you explain. Do you mean your NVC case number, USCIS case number and Alien Number?

No. It's given to you by NVC. So when you call for your case number ask for your invoice and beneficiary number as well because you will need it to fill out the DS 160 online. Hope this helps.

Yeah I know. Try calling them Monday in the morning hours so you don't have to wait so

long on hold. Good luck

Yes, they are very good at replying between 2 to 3 days. CEAC? Updated 4/7/15 to "Ready".. Your Consulate is London right?

Hi, yes, we are London

Our case status has had a few updates and I knew what 3 of them were, but now it's all very mysterious.

Our case showed as 'Ready' the day DHL delivered the package (April 10th)

I submitted the readiness form on April 12th which was a Sunday and there was an update on April 13th

Our medical results were received and our case showed an update on April 15th.

There was an update on April 17th, but we have no idea what it was. We had been trying to make sure they had my new address because I've moved and USCIS didn't respond to our letter to them in January, so it could have been that.

it's exciting, yet a bit of an anticlimax now that, after waiting so long and then having enjoyed a month of continuous progress, all we can do is wait for them to send a letter with the interview date.

jignid, don't fret about it. You can call NVC again and get them. You only need these numbers later on when you pay for the visa fees. Give them a call tomorrow night. I know there is a wait, but NVC agents have been so nice every time we called it's a pleasure after USCIS.
