ull do ds 160 , visa fee , and schedule interview now correct?

thanks !

Wow,yours is fast. Got our NVC number in Nov 7 but didn't receive hard copy yet. That is why we can't have medical yet since it is one of the requirements in SLEC Phils.

Anyways, I would like some information on how recent should the Affidavit od support be(I 134). Prepared on in September even before approval (NOA2). Will that be okay or need to prepare latest one. Thanks.

USCIS received my RFE documents on Nov 4 --- was hoping for NOA2 last week but realized that it was a super short week for them.

Fingers crossed for this week! Visiting on Friday and it would be great to celebrate the good news :)

did most of yall pay the visa fee before the case was Ready or while your case was in Transit?

Depends on the country like here in PI you can pay your visa even if it is still in transit. Check other forums or blogs base on your country.

Hmm, I contacted my embassy and they said they hadn't received my petition yet, even though it's been "ready" for six days now...

Was it not letting you schedule and interview? I though that was the whole purpose of showing the case ready? My fiancee will complete her DS-160 tomorrow and try to schedule her interview. She was able to pay her fees already.

soulstriker,

I hope your case changes to ready soon and is confirmed to be at the US Consulate. Best of luck to you and your fiancee on the this part of the process. Still waiting for a case number from NVC. Hoping to get one sometime this week. At least NVC has officially confirmed that they have our approved petition.

Try calling them now they received our petition last Nov 8 and they already gave me last night our case no. And our case is already in transit. They sent it out last Nov. 10. So i assume around Nov. 9 my case no. Is already created.
