Welcome to the thread! It's nice to see another Indian beneficiary - and from Delhi, too! I am the US petitioner; my fiance is from Kerala but lives in Delhi. I took a peak at your timeline and we are just a few days apart. Our NOA2 is June 10th. We were hoping his interview would be sometime in mid-July but it seems the NVC is taking a long time to process the incoming petitions. I called for the first time on Friday morning and again yesterday (Monday) afternoon. Apparently the average is around 3 weeks right now. My plan is to keep calling every other day or so. I haven't seen anything about giving them our email addresses. All of that information is on the forms that they have, so I don't understand why they would need us to give it again. But then again, nothing about this process is logical...

 

As for biometrics, I am not sure, but it would seem to me that they would need to be done again... but I could be completely wrong. Maybe post on the India embassy forum on VJ and see if someone who has gone through the process can answer.

 

Good luck to you and your fiance!

Hey! If you don't mind my asking, since there is so much discussion going on about when to fill out DS-160...have you guys started on this yet? I had to use the same form to apply for my visitor's visa a couple of years back, so I believe I can just retrieve that one and update it along w our case number - once NVC contacts us and I'll get a new application number for the ds-160. But have not tried it yet. Thought I'd wait on NVC to confirm 1st.

Today was root canal day for me. I had a run in with a crappy dentist three weeks ago, who sent me to the ER after drilling into my sinus and pouring bleach into it. Today I had a specialist go in and

We have not, although I plan on having him start once we get the NVC case number. You can create a log in so the form can be saved and retrieved. Once he gets the letter/email from the embassy, he can submit it. 

 

Do you know if the embassy mails the letter by post or email? I hate how unreliable the Indian mail system is...

Oh I'm not sure, that's a good question! That's what I was wondering too, if they do it electronically or via snail mail. Hopefully the faster of the two options 😊
