Our case has been changed to READY status

it was sent yesterday and received by consulate now, didn't expect it to be this soon.

Guess we can finally start gathering documents for next step.

I'm also planning on flying back to help her preparing all the stuffs, I wonder is there any chance that I can go in with her on the interview

You can check that information in your embassy, I recomend to call embassy. For example for Peru's Embassy you can go with your fiance :)

wow, that sounds great

I've been trying to google to see if there were anyone who had interview with both onsite (watching or sitting nearby is good enough for me) but most of the related answers I found were only they waited outside of the embassy

 

I'm also curious to know do we need to wait for any actual letter or packet (like P3 packet?) to schedule an interview date

Thanks to all the posts and all other information provided on VJ, I'm able to find the checklist and all other documents needed for the interview.

but I was also told by my fiancee that we need to wait for something from the embassy, and we need to mail some documents to the embassy to process to next step?

 

I can't find any similar experiences on VJ, all I've found were like they got their case ready and then schedule for the interview and then do all the documents gathering or medical exams and then they go for the interview

Hey everybody! (Please don’t make fun of me or bash on my decisions) hahah I wanted to ask if you’ve heard of people who have shown up to the interview without receiving any P3 letter. I know the papers are at the embassy and it’s been 10 days since they received them, so I (naively call it as you want) scheduled an interview. I would hate to miss the money :( we paid for the Interview. At this point, we need a lot of hope! Thanks

Have you read the process for your consulate? Some consulates allow it, some don't. Via a quick google search for Costa Rica on their Embassy page it says "Once your case becomes qualified for an interview, NVC will work with us to schedule an interview appointment for you.

Hey it depends of the embassy, in my case never receive PACKET3, they only gave a link for the paperwork that I should present to teh interview. But I read that some embassies need packet 3.

ill look for your embassy if I can help you :)

 

For example in my case I dont have to mail anything to the embassy, the paperwork we need to present in the interview. The only documentation that I should do before the interview is filliing out DS160 (take the letter confirmation) and schedule my medical exam by showing my letter fo confirmation of interview

I read that for other countries is different, as I say this is so relative. If i can find any information I'll help you its China right?

I actually just found the P3 letter from the China sub forum and seems like it's different for different country

we are required to mail the DS-160 confirmation code, passport and photocopies to the embassy in order to process to next step

 

I guess our journey will be a little bit longer than others, lol
