It maybe but it may not be. You can check on CEAC the status as it will say "in transit" or "received". Next step Is to complete your profile as we do not know what Embassy you are processing your application with.

 

Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline or your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer.

 

If you look at the profile others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Thanks

Thank you. The embassy is Guangzhou, China.

I can tell you that P3 for GUZ is only 4 line items:

 

1. DS-160 Confirmation Page

2. Copy of Passport Personal Page

3. 2 Passport style photos White Background, Well Lit, 50mm x 50mm

4. Return the P3 instructions page

 

#4 is what prevents people in China from getting a head start, they want the instructions page mailed back with the requested documents. If you find anything different then what I posted here can you scan and email a copy of the P3 letter. I use for folks just like yourself. PM me when you get the P3 if you will. Thank you.

On day 11 that our Case Status at the NVC still is "At NVC." 

 

Any estimates how long? How long has it been taking for all of you for your case to leave NVC

Just from trends on VJ, I've seen anywhere from around 1-2 weeks average, but of course ones happen that are earlier and ones that take longer 

K1 Journey from Spain to USA :wub:

I've found where to fill out the DS-160, and I'm doing that now. Can I go ahead and schedule the interview. Do I need to finish filling out the forms first? Sorry for asking a lot; I just want to make sure that I've done everything right. I sent an email to the embassy like you suggested.

The DS-160 can be completed all the way up to the day before the interview, so choose what works for you. It's an important document so what I suggest is that the two of you fill it out together and then the beneficiary will be the one to submit it. The most important thing is to be truthful and to make sure your spelling is perfect for names.

 

Each Embassy is different in how the handle the interview scheduling. Some will schedule for you others will let you go online and schedule. I'm not sure how your Embassy will handle. I suggest you go over to the Sub-forum for China here on VJ where there are a lot of people who can help you out with specific questions.

Everyone is in the same boat and are now dead in the water till they receive their case number. But what some are doing is getting ready once they receive the number. For you, you should do the following.

 

Visit Hanks website where he has taken the time and research, and of course it helps if you spent 8 plus years helping folks in the Philippines sub-forum get their visas, where he has listed each step. With those steps he includes the what, when and why to completing the item. Many have used the website and have had little or NO problems securing a visa from USEM.

 

http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/k-1-visa-application.html

 

Next you'll want to connect with those who are processing through the Philippines in the VJ Philippines sub-forum that way you will be with like minded ppl who are sharing their experiences and also asking and answering questions. Since most in this thread are processing through another country they would be hard pressed to explain what is needed for the Philippines.

 

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/129-philippines/

 

You'll find this on Hank's website but I will give it to you early and that is the Packet 3 Letter for USEM. It's found here:

 

https://ph.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/fiancee-visa/the-interview/

 

Here is the Packet 3 letter.

There you have it. Everything you need to get your visa. Good luck and smooth sailing.
