Hi Guys,

 

Sooo ummm I can tell that a lot of persons are very agitated by the extended wait with NVC but my heart goes out to you all. I have anxiety issues but I'm a bit more recluse than most persons so I probably won't vent (no offense at all to those who do tho!) but there are a few things that I wish I had done during the wait so I'll share them. Please remember that every embassy is different so your packet 3 requirements and such will vary. 

 

1. I wish I had done my police record/certificate/report while I was waiting those two weeks. It would give a certain peace of mind knowing that I had especially since you don't need your case number (For Jamaica) or anything from Embassy to get it done. 
2. Get your passport size photos done as soon as possible because every form that you will complete will more than likely need a photo as reference to you.
3. Complete the DS-160 form. You only need your petition # while filling it out. You can sign and submit it without needing the case #. My experience was that the case # was only needed for reference when scheduling and paying for the interview. 
4. Get your fiance(e) to have all the financial documents completed and ready beforehand including the I-134 (Affidavit of Support). If you're unsure if it is needed then check your embassy via its website, calling them or emailing them. He's literally sending me a BOX of papers with all the financial details needed from the bank, his employer, his taxes etc (It's scary how much paper he's shown me ).
5. Call your embassy or research online to find out what the up-to-date requirements are for Packet 3 (basically your interview) especially your case has been updated to the status "ready". My embassy stated that it could take up to SIXTY DAYS for them to send me those details so I researched online and reached out to other persons who have already done this step in the entire process recently to ensure that I get it all ready for my interview.
6. Check and confirm that the beneficiary's immunization documents are readily available as well as he/she meets the US immunization requirements. Getting some of these before your medical helps because who knows what kind of delay that may cause for your medical exam reports to get to the embassy before your interview.

 

TOO LONG, DIDN'T READ VERSION: You have time right now to get certain things in order so help to make yourself busy and to change your focus as much as you can. Get all your documents ready because for some people as soon as your case # is assigned and sent to your embassy I'm sure you won't want anything to delay or interfere with your interview.

Ahahah actually after whining and crying for whole day today I feel way better right now. And thank you for the support really.

 

i really was ok till I heard about my family emergency. But I think that hit home too much and felt like everything was trembling down.. which is, but what you gonna do🤷‍♀️ 

 

I feel way better now, I found people who helped me a bit about packet 3 in japan forum so I realized I already have everything ready.  I talked the medical place which were really nice and told me there is still a few spots open and I can even schedule one some days during the holidays. So I’m trying to work it out.

 

But girl when they said the case was not received and she insisted like I was lying about what they told me, I panicked sooooo much... I never wish that on anyone! Ever! 

 

Thank you as always ❤️

Thank you. I wish I could give you something more to do  . 

 

Unfortunately, Jamaican wait times for the preparation of documents are literally always on "Go-Slow" mode  .  I'm just sitting in limbo hoping they give me everything before I have my interview because I really don't want to reschedule since it's his birthday.

 

I hope no one misunderstands my previous post by the way. It was more so geared towards persons are still unsure or unclear on what they need to have done before their interview. All this waiting for the NVC is a good time to get that stuff done and show yourself that you're almost at the finish line.

Is this the number I need to make an appointment????? I got it in March when they sent it back to USCIS for no reason but I had called the USCIS to inquire if there was a case status change since it didn’t show online. 

 

If this is it im so upset because my attorneys are the ones who told me about this number in beginning March and it’s end of April and we were waiting for the NVC to get it so we can start the process of medical and interview... help please

Naahhhhh that was a really good list by the way I repeat 🙈

 

everyones reactions work differently. I didn’t have any complain for example and was calm even when I considered withdrawing. But well this week was my limit! This limbo! This limbo is our problem! It is all of us against the limbo

Not really cause t still says at NVC... it should say “ready” for you to be able to make the appointment...

 

How long it has been at NVC?

You shouldn't make the interview until your case status is set to "Ready". If it's not ready then it's not at the embassy so you could end up paying for a date before your case is even there (if they accept the scheduling).

I noticed you said you called the USCIS to see if there were any changes but I don't think you should have to contact them anymore. When was the last time you contacted the NVC to get an update on where you case is?

I had called them February 16 and then it had ended up it was already gone to NVC and that’s why they sent it back because I inquired at USCIS in that interim of time. Then not til April 5th did it make it back to USCIS for them to formally update it then send it back Again and now and waiting again for it to say ready. So annoyed 😑
