HI , if you know that your petition reached embassy , fill out DS 160 save it to your computer ,print it out .  Email confirmation from embassy was send to me ( sponsor) after three weeks from time they receive it. Or you can just wait for it , but it may be send to sponsor so he will have to forward it to you . Those are just instructions from embassy what to do next , it is same as everyone else. (people sometimes try to jump on head of things thinking  time may be saved You will be fine by following proper steps and all will fall to place in right time ).(You meant interview letter for embassy ?? )

So Sorry, I didn't get you. And this point I have the NVC case no. and the status says READY. Can I book my medical exam?

Log in to your embassy web page and find out if they have your petition .( seams like they did) NVC number or your case number you will need to find that out .Nvc sends paper work to embassy and  if  status says ready, means that they receive it, than you are ok to fill DS 160 .You will also find instructions on embassy site, to follow, with out waiting for them to notify you, you will find all that you will need for interview including locations of medical examiner. In our case I receive instructions from embassy 3 weeks after they got my papers and it was saying ready for all that time .            ( looks like wherever secretary gets to it, they will notify you , so if you want to speed it out you can )

How are you all getting through on the NVC my fiancée has been on hold for an hour.....this isn't meant to be the quiet time :/ *sigh! 

I just put the phone on speaker and kept doing other things at my computer until someone answered.  Sometimes, it was less than 15 minutes and other times, it took forever. :)

On this link, it says I-129f is also needed for the interview, but instruction letter doesn't mention that.

"A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one). Your fiance should review this information in advance of the interview (the embassy will have copies of this"

It's an suggestion so the beneficiary will know information you filed in the I129F form. Embassy Officer might ask questions on those information and the best is to not make mistakes at the interview.

Help! Can someone please recommend an agent to deal with police clearance in South Africa? We may have been using a scam artist named Nico who is using the commissioners email address Peter Wieselthaler. My fiancé just took a 40 hour bus to Zimbabwe and I will probably have to fly him back to South Africa for the day to start over.
