Once you have your case approved, you can complete the DS-160. You don't have to wait for your case to be ready. Just bring the print out of the confirmation page with the bar code to your interview.

thank you very much for the number i just tried calling and they said its not in the system yet

Yea, I'm not quite sure what's going on with NVC.

I'm the 7th of March for NOA2, and no sign of the number as yet.

Latest I've heard is people from the 1st got their numbers last Thursday, so that might be a very rough guide.

Sadly it looks to be taking closer to a month to get the number instead of the old 10 business days.

Optimistically I hope to get mine sometime this week, so theoretically you could get yours towards the end of next?

But... who knows at the moment with NVC.

I'm calling daily at approx 6pm Est.

hi there greenbaun can you tell me NVC number and thier hours they are open thanks

Here is my standard reply:

It will take 7 - 10 days business for NVC to receive your file from USCIS after you receive the NOA2, then another 2 - 5 business days for NVC to get your file in there system and get the case # from USEM. Call 7:00am eastern time for shorter wait times K1's are not tracked through the AVR, ever. They are processed like an immigrant visa, but they are NOT immigrant visas, so they fall into a completely different class of their own. Therefore you need an operator. To get there:

1-603-334-0700 or 603-334-0888. Operator assistance is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM (Eastern Time)

Press 5 for non-immigrant visa K-1 visa.

NVC CONTACT INFORMATION:

Website: www.immigrantvisas.state.govwww.immigrantvisas.state.gov

E-mail: NVCInquiry@state.gov I highly recommend you email NVC for the MNL #, even if you call and get it, this will give you a correspondence from NVC with the MNL # for future reference. The email request for your MNL # is also a great way to track when your file is forwarded to USEM as NVC will not reply to the email until that time.

REQUIRED SECURITY INFORMATION:

You are required to provide the following security information with each inquiry to receive a case specific response:

* NVC Case Number or USCIS Receipt Number (Place in the subject line of the e-mail).

* Petitioner's name and date of birth.

( NOTE: If the visa petition is employment-based, include the employer's company/organization name instead of the petitioner's name and date of birth. )

* Principal Applicant's name and date of birth.

Bring your vaccination records also, unless they are in the medical envelope. Also, bring birth certificate, perhaps even a certified translated copy which you will probably need for marriage license.

thank you! :goofy:

Once you are married you file for advanced parole alon g with your adjustment. Once granted you can travel. So, few months.

Hi guys,

we had our interview yesterday at Sydney consulate and we were approved :idea::goofy::idea::dancing::idea::goofy::idea:

I checked CEAC website, it was touched yesterday but status is still Ready. My financee wasn't given any documents and neither they kept anything besides his passport. Is this how it goes? When would be the next status update on CEAC? or where can i track the visa status?

Wishing luck to everyone in this journey. We are so close :dancing:

It'll show being touched any time they access it, so I would guess the touch was the interview.

Keep an eye on it, it should change to Issued when it's been sent, and you may see a few more touches while still in accept.

And yes, it's normal that they don't keep anything extra besides the passport. Some embassies will ask for the affidavit of support, others won't even look at it.
