Hello-

Exciting progress!

I am really hoping you can answer a quick question as we are trying to send in our packet 3 on Monday! I am currently visiting my fiancé in Germany, and it has taken some time to get all of the info together, as he was working abroad for the past few months.

On the page 2 of the application checklist.....

it asks for the Document delivery Address: We filled this out online, but we never got a "registration confirmation" for the ustraveldocs site. The form says-

PLEASE INCLUDE A COPY OF YOUR REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION PAGE WITH THE OTHER DOCUMENTS THAT YOU SEND TO THE CONSULATE BEFORE INTERVIEW.

Where did you receive a copy of the registration confirmation?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks- Susan

It is funny but I got this registration confirmation you are talking about a week after my visa was in hand and a month and a half after ds-160 was done. It said:

Dear Applicant,

Thank you for being a valued U.S. Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) customer. Your electronic Visa application has been submitted.

Name Provided: LLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLL

Country/Region of Origin (Nationality): UKRAINE

Passport Number: AA555555

Completed On: 10 JULY 2015 17:43:36 EST

Confirmation #: AA999999999

YOUR CONFIRMATION PAGE IS ATTACHED TO THIS EMAIL IN A PDF FILE!

You must follow the instructions on the confirmation page in order for the U.S. Department of State to continue processing your visa application.

How to print your Confirmation Page:

1. DOUBLE CLICK on the attached file.

2. From within Adobe Reader, go to FILE and select PRINT

Please double check to see that you indeed have Adobe Acrobat installed on your system. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you may download it for free at: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

***Important: Please do not reply to this email. This mailbox is not set up to receive email.

Nobody asked me about it.

I think you should send just a ds-160 confirmation, they need it. Or if you want you can wait and get this some day soon. It is your choice.

Question for all of you! I seem to be more and more clueless about the process.

I checked my case status today and see that it says "On August 14, 2015, we sent your case....to the Department of State for visa processing...."

Does this mean I will get the NOA-2 soon?? I have not received anything via text, email, or regular mail.

Help! :)

This means you have gotten your NOA-2 about 1-2 weeks prior to August 14th. Meaning you are approved.

Congrats.

You have not received anything in the mail? Give it a week or two, then chase them up. You want that NOA-2 hardcopy for the future process (especially AOS).

Hurray!!

Now wait for them to send everything to NVC and for NVC to assign you a case number and forward it to your embassy.

About 15-20 days for case number and a week-ish for the embassy.

If you don't hear anything from NVC (like I did) call them and ask them the case number. Better call early in the morning 6.30-7ish am...

Then once at the embassy they will send you packet 3 with the list of docs you need to send them (but you can also go on the embassy website and download already what you need so you are basically ready for when they send it to you).

After sending all this they will send you packet 4 with the appointment.

THINGS DO GET FASTER NOW!

hello all, so i can finally join this thread :) 262 days was long!

Now that we have No2, what are the steps? any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Edame

Congratulations for your visa appointment.

We received our package 3 from the Madrid embassy last Friday(28/08/2015).

I have one question: do I have to wait to collect all documents before sending it back to the embassy? I have the police certificates ready and the birth certificate ready too. I do not have the financial support affidavit yet. Can I take it to them on the interview day?

Thanks

Hi Edame,

Congratulations for your interview appointment.

We received our package 3 through post last friday (28/08/2015).

I have one question for you:

I would like to know If I have to get all the documents mentioned in the instructions before sending the package back to the Embassy.

I already have my birth certificate and police certificates.

I can fill the DS-160.

I do not have the I-134 form yet.

Can I send the package back to the Embassy with the documents I have and then take the affidavit of financial support on the day of the interview?

Thanks

Hurray!!

Now wait for them to send everything to NVC and for NVC to assign you a case number and forward it to your embassy.

About 15-20 days for case number and a week-ish for the embassy.

If you don't hear anything from NVC (like I did) call them and ask them the case number. Better call early in the morning 6.30-7ish am...

Then once at the embassy they will send you packet 3 with the list of docs you need to send them (but you can also go on the embassy website and download already what you need so you are basically ready for when they send it to you).

After sending all this they will send you packet 4 with the appointment.

THINGS DO GET FASTER NOW!

Thanks for the advice ☺ and good luck on ur interview
