No-no-no. Please read the guides. The only forms you need right now is ds160 (most likely online, depending on the country) and i134.

If it isn't difficult, it isn't worth it.

Ok thank you..

Do you mind explain to me about one more thing ?

I have understood that in order to set interview date I need to use the site

http://ais.usvisa-info.com

Can i do it with the case number I will get by calling the NVC? Or maybe I'lll have to wait for somthing else in order to set the interview date

Thank you!

They will not let you schedule an interview until the Jerusalem Consulate receives your packet. Does your petitioner have the hard copy of the NOA2 in hand? Do you have any indications that the approved petition made it to Jerusalem?

Usually it takes a few weeks for them to receive the packet from the US because it has to go through customs on the Israel side, and things could possibly be delayed slightly because it's the holiday season. I would call the NVC and try to get a case number if you have the NOA2 in hand. If they don't have a status update for you, wait a few days and keep calling. I had to wait and call, and wait and call.

Once you can access the DS-160 (once they are ready to schedule your appointment), fill it out and submit it. Be honest. Do not lie. If you have transgressions and they ask you what they might be, please list them. The CO will ask you about it in your interview, it does not necessary mean immediate denial.

Once you submit the DS-160 and have a case number, you should be able to use the site: https://ais.usvisa-info.com/ and schedule/pay for your interview appointment. Basically, you need the case number and submit the DS-160 first, this last website (https://ais.usvisa-info.com/) is to link your case, your DS-160, and your interview appointment altogether.

I hope this helps. Please continue to update your timeline, as it helps give others some context to your questions.

So why is that everyone calling repeatedly to get the case number from the NVC if we still have to wait for the case to arrive to Jerusalem consulate?

Isn't it possible so schedule an interview just with NVC case number ?
