K-1 Visa: NVC gave us our case number today! Now what?

[Naejh 0]

I called NVC this morning and was happy to find out that they received our approved I-129F petition and was given our case number and invoice number . I am eager to get moving and am a little confused as to what comes next. I was under the impression that the beneficiary would be receiving the Packet 3 from the Embassy but after looking at the NVC's website, it seems that a lof of this paperwork is done online by the petitioner? Do I need to wait for the official welcome letter from NVC before we start filling out these electronic forms or can we get started right away?

Thank you!

No you do not need to wait, and shouldn't wait unless you want the process to take longer.

Here is the guide http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process You got your number so now you can follow the next steps!

Well at this point you may want to update your timeline and put in the correct consulate (Unless it really is the Armenia default). Everything from here on out is consulate specific and this will help others when answering your questions.

THis is a good guide that explains the steps of the K1 process.

You can begin preparing the DS160. It is the beneficiary visa application that is submitted electronically

It will take some time for the Embassy to receive your file.

Go to https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=WwjqOlbeRYzCYubaSQI+RA==

select "Immigrant visa" and then enter your case number.

then when it is "Ready" means that you will soon be interviewed! I don't know which country you are from, but like LionessDeon said, you can begin completing your DS160, and maybe see if you can start contacting to get your medicals done

Maybe you should read the OP's post again NataliaLin, they just got to the NVC
