Just received NVC # now 6 steps?

[E92651 3]

Hi everyone!!

I called today after 2 weeks of receiving my NOA2 and I got my NVC #, I quickly checked on the visa website to see what it said and it gives me a link for a 6step process.

Do I start those 6 process now? I didn't know we had to send paperwork to NVC, I thought it was at the interview.

This is the link

Thanks for any input!

This is getting closer and can't be happier

This is what it says:

Please follow the instructions you received from the National Visa Center (NVC) that list the six steps you must take before NVC can schedule your visa interview appointment. This includes submitting to NVC various fees, forms and documents. Once NVC has received all the required items, they will let you know if anything is missing or incomplete. You can also find these instructions online at http://nvc.state.gov (English) and

Per your timeline you filed for K-1 visa. There is no 6 steps process at NVC for K-1 visa. Did you file for IR-1/CR-1 visa? If so try to log into https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx

If you have an access, you can start completing that part.

I just called NVC back and they told me that the 6 step process doesn't apply, that I have to wait for the consulate to receive the packet!

Now that I have both NVC and Id number can I start filling ds 160?

Thanks for everyone's help, this site is awesome!!

Yes you can fill out the DS-160. Not sure how early you can submit it though, I waited until my case status said ready.

First of all, check your the case status on CEAC

Approx Waiting Time for interview date from when the Consulate receives the package from the NVC: Usually, Packet 3 or 4 by physical mail never arrives or takes forever. About a week after approval of I-129F (NOA2), contact NVC to see if your petition has arrived to the embassy. As soon as it has arrived, email the embassy and request Packet 3 by email (give them your case number in the subject line, you can get that from NVC). This is much faster then physical mail, and often Packet 3 will never arrive by physical mail. As soon as you have completed packet 3 and mailed 2 copies of ds-160 back to the ebmassy (via Cargo Expreso or national email service), email the embassy again and they will send you Packet 4 via email. Issues a Packet 3?

Packet 3 Contains: 1.Cover Letter (Basic Fiance Info)
2.Checklist and Instructions (Instrucciones para visa de prometido K1)
3.DS-160 (online)
4.Photo requirements.
5.DS-160 Instructions of filling
6.I-134 (not included, to be fill by US fianc�(e)

According to your country info

As long as you have your case number from NVC (you state you have it) you can fill out the DS-160. There is no time limit as to when you can start or you need to finish completing the DS-160. Be sure to print off the confirmation page with the bar code in the event an agency requests it besides your Embassy.
