Ughh thats alright; just will take a lil extra time. You will need to send inquiries to the correct Embassy and  request them to contact wrong embassy to forward your petition to the right one.  

I've queried the NVC but the contact information for the correct embassy has an error. I sent an email to the one listed, got an auto reply with a link, but the link gives an error.  This is giving me a headache.

Medical on 23rd June

Interview on 30th June

Nervous and excited. Hope everything go well.

Hi... Now your case should be ready to get transferred to local embassy. If you already have your case number you can track on CEAC website. 

Just check local US embassy website there should be a list of documents you will need to prepare for packet 3. And process after that actually varies embassy to embassy. For Thailand we need to courier these documents but we read for some one can only send via email. Hope it helps. Good luck.  

Hi this is Neal, we are very close in timelines and both Thailand. My fiance just emailed the ds160, filled out GSS and payed fee, and we mailed back the Packet 6-13. She also got most of her vaccinations and we are just waiting for the appointment date. I assume the appointment date is the "packet 4"? Any idea when this should arrive?

Thank you so much,

Neal

Guys one question, I am helping my fiance filling in up the online form D-160 the question " Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, or been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry? "  She applied last July for a tourist visa and it was denied, do we have to answer YES ?

The answer would be Yes, because the B1/B2 visa was denied .

Ensure your fiancé knows the reason of the denial , just in case they ask about it in the interview.

Hi Neal.. We are actually following the same timeline. Sent all documents and we are waiting for packet 4 as well. I called embassy customer care number twice. Once they asked me to wait for packet 4 (through email) which should have the appointment letter. Next time when I called, they asked me to send an email (visasbkkiv@state.gov) to them asking for appointment. So I have done that as well. 

 

If we go through timeline of others, it may take 3-4 days for getting appointment date from the date embassy receives our packet 3 documents. 

Good luck !

Thank you, that was real helpful, I will send an email

also. 3 or 4 days should hopefully be early this week. Let's keep 

in touch  how it goes. Thanks again,  Neal

You are past processing times. Did you try to call or make an inquiry or something? Good luck!

Hi guys

 

 

Today I'm travelling to Ciudad Juarez to have my interview tomorrow. I am so nervous and excited that I couldn't sleep last night.  I'm hoping to get approved. It's been such a long wait.  

 

Best of luck to all of us   and I hope you can send me all your best vibes!
