I have a quick question about NVC dates. Today I received a letter from NCV dated May 11, 2015 informing me they had received our I-129F petition. I quickly went onto the CEAC web tracker and when I plugged in our case the status displayed as ready. I'm overjoyed, to say the least and once my fiancee receives my email, she will be too. What dates should I use on our VJ timeline for date received, approved, and sent to consulate? I'm assuming the packet is being sent to the consulate since the web tracker said to schedule the interview.

Those dates are pretty much known only if you stalk the NVC by ringing them on the phone and wait on hold forever to ask. Not really important since your case is already in London. The "ready" on your status indicates that.

Your fiancé will receive a letter of instruction from London (formerly called packet 3). It will tell her that the K1 instructions and forms are found on the embassy website. Follow the steps to get an interview assigned. http://london.usembassy.gov/iv/fiance_instructions.htmlhttp://london.usembassy.gov/iv/fiance_instructions.html

Read all the links, not just that one page. Don't use the mobile version because you will miss things. It's not as well organized.

And my personal "heads up" tip for you is in this UK forum post. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/541811-another-warning-k1s-get-your-shots/
