@Trilobyte,

 

Sorry to ask....  but what is the online readiness form?  Also, how long did you wait for the time you received your case number until the NVC marked it as ready?  Many thanks!

The steps might be different for other embassies. I really don't know. It's just a form that in the steps of things to do. I waited 9 days from NVC received until READY.

This is the UK version for the US Embassy in London. You fill this in once you have completed the DS160 and scheduled your medical examination? Also, where would I find my Barcode # AA? It asks for this on the readiness form.  @TriloByte

Yes, it's filled out after the ds-160 and after the medical is scheduled. The # AA is from the ds-160 confirmation.

Here were my UK steps after NOA2 again (would not recommend following these steps for other embassies):

 

You must follow this exact order:

1. Started calling both the immigrant and non-immigrant NVC support lines two weeks after NOA2. Called every two days until we were told the case is received
2. Called the NVC line that said our case was received every day until they give us a case an LND number.
3. We waited until the case checker above said "READY". https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx
4. We completed the DS160 online and printed the receipt. You need the receipt/confirmation later (gives you the # AA).
5. We Scheduled the medical over the phone. You will pay 300 pounds when you go to the medical.
6. We submitted the readiness form online.
7. We scheduled the interview online. this is when you will pay $265.00 and you will also have the option to pay for the carrier service at the same time (19 pounds). Make sure to schedule the interview 2 weeks after the medical because if the medical results are not at the embassy the day of your interview it can cause delays. Printed all of the confirmations as they are needed later. You need your LND number, the DS160 confirmation number, your passport number, your personal info to schedule. Choose option 2, the K option when asked.

You DON'T need a letter from the embassy to schedule anything or at the interview. 

 

Read all of this too. It's where you find the phone numbers and links to do the above and other things you must understand to prep for it all:

Pretty sure the beginning ones are the same...and I appreciate you mapping it out  (I have it saved....)

Thank you!

We finally found the time tonight to sit and focus on the DS-160. Boy do they ask some weird questions. Is there a processing g time that you need to wait before making the payment? Then is there a wait to book the appointments???

The Barcode #AA is found on the DS 160  confirmation page.

It depends on the embassy handling your case. I would reach out to them to find out how to proceed.

Anyone from the Philippines who also got an RFE? 

 

I've submitted my response to RFE last June 16. Just wondering how long it takes to get the NOA2. I'm hoping to get an interview by August cause we need to fly out to New York by August 25th or so.

Not sure if the immigrant's country is related. Ours took more than 60 days...

That really sucks. I hope the person who handled my file is also handling my RFE.

 

Everything else was pretty fast and on schedule since the beginning, within the projected timeline from NOA1. Other RFEs were apparently approved within 2 weeks.

Good for you! Mine was slow both of the times.
