Just curious about this

 

Everyone gets that message “Please follow the instructions ... “ blablabla when we actually have nothing to do but wait until it is ready, right? Thank you in advance.

 

Lets see for how long it will be “at NVC”.  My embassy is Madrid, Spain. 

 

Yup that is the general message and yes welcome to the next chapter in the waiting game ( I’m on day 7 of the ‘at nvc’ message , it is utter torture to be so near and yet so far!!)

Thank you @Thelucybelle ! 

 

I don’t know for how long it’s been there tho! I called last thursday for the first time and they told me they had my case number, but I just don’t know when exactly they received it and/or when they assigned the case number, so we’ll see I guess!

 

Good luck!

It's been five days since my case was "expedited" from NVC and in transit to the US embassy in Korea.  Still listed as "in transit" for an electronic case... what gives?

Hi @JxJ we were able to get the case number by calling and the case is still “At NVC” as per the ceac website. Let us see if by the time my fiancé receives an email notification if the status will also change to “in transit” because ours is electronic. Hopefully you’ll get yours soon too.

UPDATE: Indeed for electronic cases, as soon as we received the NVC email stating our case number and invoice number the CEAC status changed to "IN TRANSIT"

So my fiancee received the email today saying NVC received our case. Also received an email saying it was sent to consulate, same day, and on top of that another email saying it has been approved to be expedited.

 

Has anyone else received this chain? We never applied for any sort of expedition, did we just get lucky?

I received these two emails also.

It's laid out with little drop down boxes so it asks for DD-MMM-YYYY and that's what I'm doing

It's so confusing. The first thing it asks for is Case Number so I put my WAC petition number and that takes me to the screen where it asks for my DOB but then tells me it's invalid, and if I put the NVC case number and try that instead it just comes up with a message saying:

 

K visas are nonimmigrant visas that assist spouses or future spouses of American citizens in entering the United States. As with all nonimmigrant visa applicants, a DS-160 must be filled out in order for a consular section to process the case.

 

Hi @NicolaBolton87 I think you're on the wrong link. I guess you're here: https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx

You should go to this link to create the ds160: https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/

Meeeee! Got the emails then I checked my case and it says "In transit" at the same day. 

How can you check your case once you receive those NVC emails?

Well I have a dress and we have a venue! We are eloping to Fort Lauderdale in Florida with my kinder and we found a beautiful Airbnb place where we can have an outdoor ceremony. Stuart’s brother lives there so it will be nice to have someone from his family there too. I think it will be on August first as I have a thing about numbers and that date will be 8.1.18 !! We re pretty confident that by then Stuart will be in the country but obviously feel the same way about jinxing things and know the number one rule about making firm plans before you are in the international arrivals hall of your POE. It does feel so nice to actually think this is going to really happen now though!!!  Wondering if others have  made any plans yet?? 

I hear you. With not knowing exactly when he will be here and just having an estimate on time (also depending on AP and the travel ban status) I'm also going to have something at a little chapel in Austin, TX. I've begun looking for my dress again and since it is something very intimate (the few family members he has here and my family) I'm looking for something simple

This is after you've submitted the DS-160 correct? I've entered my NVC Case Number and location and I get an error message.

@Xie_xong I've already completed and submitted the DS160. I was just wondering how you pay the fees but someone else has told me you can't pay the fees until you have scheduled the interview, which I haven't done yet.

So I think my steps are something like this (any confirmation/corrections welcomed!)

 

- Get my medical notes/vaccination history (appointment with my GP next week)

- Await police certificate and birth certificate in post (should be this week)
- Book medical

- Complete Notification of Readiness form

- Schedule interview

Nope, after receiving your nvc case number. I thought you were asking where to check your case number status if it’s “at nvc, in transit, or ready”.

Yes. I received two emails one that said it was sent to embassy and another that just states it was approved for expedited processing. I haven't been able to check the status via other form. 

 

Nevermind - I was able to check the status under the Immigrant Visa drop down. THANK YOU!!

Then that’s the link where you can check the status..

What’s the error message it says when you put your nvc case number and location?
