I know we filed the electronic form with our i-129f that said everything will be processed via email text so i think everyone who applied had the option. It was a one pager sheet you didnt even have to sign it just out your email and phone number and attach it to the front of the i129f package but honestly so far its only given us a received i129f textand email and i guess we will see if they notify us via text and email again! Ill keep you posted ! 

I filled the G-1145 or whatever it was. but I think the electronic files mean they are transmitted to the embassies via the internet rather than snail mail. Not all embassies are part of the system as it's still under development. I think @Eric&Olya's case moved from "In Transit" to "Ready" in only a day or two if I remember correctly.

Oh interesting the lady today told me that it meant you filled out the piece of paper with your original file but youre probably right its probably a combo of that and transferring electronically thats pretty cool! Thanks for the info!! I should probably get on that ds160 form and passport photos! Yikes seems like things go fast from this point!

I think you can ask NVC when calling for your number, but most likely you'll have to contact the Embassy. Maybe email them when your case shows as ready at the ceac website and provide them with your new contact info before they send you anything themselves.

In any case, give it a try at USCIS. You have time to fix it and sure it won't be that complicated

Good luck!

I'm having the same address issue. My fiance in Canada moved a few months ago and I need to update the address somewhere. I called NVC today and they finally gave me a case number. I asked how to change address and he told me to send an email to asknvc@state.gov

Ok I'm now confused what I'm supposed to do next. I called NVC and got my case # today. When I enter the number in the ceac tracker it says "at NVC" and I need to follow 6 steps listed on the nvc website  (selecting an agent, paying a few, submitting financials, etc...). Is this correct? Is this the same as ds160?? So lost. @Marzena & Stephen is this what you're doing too?

Ignore the six steps. It's irrelevant for a K visa. At this point you follow embassy specific instructions to prepare for your interview which does include filling out the DS 160 at https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/

One day from "In Transit" to "Ready", and then 2 days to Packet 3.

By the way, when Eric called NVC, he used line 7, maybe you should try too, just in case

[Eric&Olya 881]

So many approvals, finally!!!

Congratulations everyone, especially @pajobra and @twoDs, long overdue!

I used line 7 for my call Friday and Today. Nothing yet even though I've seen various others with the same NOA2 date get their case number already. I've seen other people call and hear that their case has been received, but no case number has been assigned, so maybe I'll wait two days before my next call. It's been 14 days since NOA2 at this point, so it's due any time.

Ok Ok. Thanks for your help!

We just scheduled the interview for September 25th. There were many dates available in HCMC for September. I REALLY wanted to schedule it for the 5th, but my work schedule would make it rough. I wish that the HCMC Consulate did not care so much about the petitioner attending. Then again, at least we have the interview and the latter part of this process seems to be much faster!

I didnt realize some people had to have their petitioner attend the interview..i didnt plan to..

I havnt done anything yet ive just called nvc for a case # and im still waiting   apparently you can prep the ds160 form and go get photos taken because i believe you need a digital one to upload for the form and i think you can print the checklist online (at least in my country you can) and have it ready to email once your case goes to "ready" i instead of waiting for the paperwork to be mailed to you.. 

 

I just realized youre also canada  did you prepare your ds160? 

You can prepare your checklist and email (google packet 3 montreal)

Hello.

Please help me. On 8/8/17 I got the mail from NVC that they will forward our petition to the US embassy in Manila.

And the next step is to visit their website http://nvc.state.gov/k1

As I check the second step on applying a visa.

It says to complete the DS-160 , Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application.

Did you also fill up the DS-160? because I'm a bit confused. 

As I track our case on the Nonimmigrant case tracker with the NVC case number, it says that its invalid. 

But when I tried to track it on the Immigrant case tracker. I found our case status. 

Should my fiance fill up the DS-160 or the DS-260?

Please update your time line is says F-1 visa instead of K-1

Congrats on your approval

You can start the DS-160 right away work with each other to fill it out

Make sure the digital photo of the beneficiary is proper size so that it will load
