It is information on the beneficiary, and it's supposed to be the beneficiary electronically signing the form. There is a question that asks did you have help filling out the form. You could assist with the form, but the beneficiary needs to be the one signing their name.

Ok good to know, thanks for the fast response!!

you will need your case number for the DS-160.

you can fill but don't submit until you get it ... or wait and fill after you get it.

Quick question guys. we are waiting for the NVC to receive the application and apply a case number, however it appears i can submit my DS-160 form online via electronic signature already?

can i go ahead or do i need to wait for a case number?

thanks,

Thanks for your reply. when does it ask for case number? i have completed the form, attached a photo and its asked me to e-sign the form? i havent sent it as i was worried, but i cant see where they would need the case number?

thanks,

you are right it is better to get it clarified. it is obvious that embassy will use the Case number from NVC not the WAC from USCIS.

but i can be wrong!

We checked the question mark next to this, and it seemed to us that we were to use the USCIS number. We did use the WAC number, submitted, and mailed off to the embassy. I guess we'll know in the next week or so if we get an interview letter or not! Lol!

NOA1- 5/18

NOA2 - 7/18

Medical Exam at Saint Luke's - 8/9-10

Interview - 8/17

I hope we don't get a 221g, my fiancé is deployed somewhere in the Middle East and the NVC letter hasn't reached his PO BOX yet. :(

Our lawyer said, it wouldn't be a problem going to the interview without the NVC letter. Any experience?

Another query: I'm concerned about our age gap. I'm the female, 23 years old, and I'm 2 years his senior. Lawyer says, it's not a big deal. Should I stop worrying?

*Pre interview jitters*

Any advice would be very beneficial. Thank you!

It won't be a problem, you will need to NOA 2 for AOS, but you can always reorder, if needed.

YES STOP WORRYING!!! 2 years is nothing, I promise!!! That's perfectly fine!

Take a deep breath, everything is going to be just fine! It's normal to be nervous, but if these are your biggest concerns, you have it made! My advice...start getting wedding ideas now, you're going to need them very soon!!
