July 2018 NOA2 ----> NVC

[ChaneyM 20]

Hello everyone!

We received our NOA2 on July 28th and found out that NVC received our case on August 10th. We just found out about I last night when we called! E were so excited to hear that it was received!:D

I think I heard somewhere, in this feed, that batches of applications are sent out every two weeks on a Tuesday? would that be this Tuesday or the next? Maybe ours could be one of them?! :) 

My question is can we safely schedule my fiancés medical now that we have the case number? I have heard that some have at this point. Also is it alright to set up his interview once the case says its in transit? He will be going to London for his interview. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks!

If you have the case number then you can schedule the medical, but you can't schedule the interview until it's "ready". Knightsbridge require some proof of case number when there from what I understand - email or ceac print out

Alright, thank you so much! So when it says “ready” it means it’s at the embassy then, correct? Also, is that email or ceac print out what they will send when they send our case to the embassy or when the embassy receives it? When I called NVC they said something about sending me an email when they send it out to the embassy. I just want to make sure I have all the steps understood.😅 haha.

That email should suffice, as long as it has your case number on it! Have him take a copy to the medical.

 

London I think is supposed to send "packet 3" (a letter and a copy of the I 129F I believe). Then you can book the interview. Otherwise, yes, ready means it is there!

So once NVC sends out our case to London do you have any idea of the average amount of time it stays in London before they send out packet 3? Thank you so much for answering my questions! 😃😊

Update:

 

After waiting for "something" finally on August 3, 2018 the Embassy at Santo Domingo notified us by email that we that we could start filing DS-160 and scheduling  VAC  and Consulate Appointments.  As stated before in these forums the Santo Doming Embassy does not mail packet #3.  However we expected some kind of notification by "snail" mail but got the email instead.  Still in doubt that the package was received electronically since NVC sent it on July 24 and the info was updated on July 25 with status Ready.  Now the CEAC shows that the case was updated on August 6.

 

Since both medical exam providers  Consultorios de Visa and Servicios Médicos Consulares list the appointment sheet (Hoja de Cita)   as a prerequisite you must schedule your appointments on the ustraveldocs.com/do website.  In order to do that you need the DS-160 confirmation number.  

 

As stated in these forums be very VERY careful on creating your ustraveldocs (aka https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/applicanthome)  profile.  I won't spout the whole rant about the website.  Be mindful of two caveats: 1) Type the email exactly as it is.  One small typo will cause you not to receive anything since the profile will be created without the system validating the email first.  2)Never create more that one profile just to check out website user interaction.  I did both mistakes and had to call ustraveldocs and request that all 3 profiles (the first I created, the one with the typo in the email and the one with the correct email) be merged since I used the same beneficiary's data.  The system checks that and won't let you pay and schedule your appointments.  VAC appointment is on the last week of August and Embassy in mid September.  After we are done I will be updating our timeline.

 

Once we passed that hurdle we managed to fill and file DS-160 print in PDF the confirmation page.  We also printed in PDF the DS-160 already filled and filed.  By this week we hope to complete the medical and all requested documents. Know I will fill form I-134 as part of my files and wait patiently to meet again with my love 😍

 

 

Hope this updates helps anyone.
