Great news! :dancing:

I'm now waiting for my petition to reach NVC, and was wondering if the USCIS case status will update to indicate the petition was forwarded to the DOS or will it forever stay as "case approved"?? What does your tracking say?

My understanding is that once the case leaves USCIS that the petition status is no longer updated on USCIS's end. Our case status on USCIS still says "Case Approved" and that they will mail me NOA2. Only way to verify status with NVC seems to be to call. It's recommended to call 2-3 weeks after receiving NOA2, but if NVC doesn't have your case yet they'll tell you it could take 4-6 weeks (standard answer, apparently). I got text/email notification of NOA2 on May 4 and according to what rep at NVC told me this morning our case was forwarded to the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo on May 19...so 15 days total for us.

Packet 4 received! With an interview date. (Amsterdam, NL consulate)

Super confused about registration on the usvisa-info.com website!

I chose K1 visa. but because I'm at the step where I need to pay, the next step after is Schedule.

But I already received a date from them and just need to confirm it.. am I in the wrong place?!

So I'm a little bit worried. We just submitted the DS-160 online today and made a mistake on the name....I saw that once submitted, you can't make any changes to it. Can I submit I new one? and if so do I have to do anything with the older confirmation.

Can't believe it. :(

Also, we haven't received Packet 3 yet, we were just trying to get everything done ahead of time.

If anyone has any info on this it would be very much appreciated.

Once you have submitted your DS-160, you are indeed unable to make changes to it. You will have to submit a new one, as far as I know.

In the UK, you don't receive a packet 3. I have only received a letter from the embassy. I hope this is all helpful :-) You might want to check the country specific posts.
