I think everyone here waited until the embassy email. In it, the embassy say that they are ready for your case, meaning you can schedule it and send P3. 

You can email them asking for next steps because you tracked the case and that it shows Ready. I'm saying this because they can give you two answer. For example, 1: they can email you the Instructions Packet with the next steps like happen to me, or 2: they can tell you to wait until they can take your case (this happend to a lot of people from this thread.If you maybe search through the pages you will fin it, I can't remember who was right now)

Yes, that's why I asked.   I remember having different scenarios.  I just emailed them before posting saying that the CEAC showed the case as "ready" and asked for the instructions.  I will just wait patiently.    I think I am a little anxious because I am trying to schedule my vacation at work as soon as possible, but I need to do it according to the interview.  Thank you for your input and prompt response.

You did the right thing. I know is hard to wait but you are in last stage and you guys have been really lucky with your timeline so far!

Thank you.  You are so right!  Plus, we do have most of P3 done, except for the documents that need to be done close to the interview.  I don't feel so bad.

@andreaam Perdona que pregunte de nuevo pero siento que habia visto una lista que enumeraste donde decia todo o que hiciste e incluiste en el P3 (ya tengo la de Fernanda).  Pero, ahora no la encuentro y como estoy del trabajo se me hace dificil buscar todas las paginas.  Perdona que pregunte de nuevo.

Hey people! This is how I arrenged my Packet 3.

·        Intent of marry signed (this is not a must but we decided to repeat the intent of marry we sent on early september changing the date of March)

·        Police certificate (check that it says 'con excepción articulo 51 del codigo penal'. It expired in 90 days and it hasn't have to be expired when you  enter USA, so don't do it until you have your interview date or so)

·        Medical exam schedule email (In the instructions asked to be sent a photo of the packet you get when you are done with the medical exam, but since I'll be having my medical exam a couple days before the interview, I printed out the email where I scheduled the appointment with Dr Grillo)

FOLIO 3

-        Evidence of Relationship

·        Photos Sent to USCIS on September 2018 (from the beggining of our relationship in early 2017 to the day we decided to file for K1 on early september 2018, we only put 10 photos with family members and friends that define our timeline relationship)

·        Photos from September 2018 to March 2019 (we decided to add pictures from the moment we received NOA1 until NOA2 which includes two trips. Here there are 10 more photos. I'm saving around 20 more photos to carry with me to the interview)

·        Proof of all trips from Beneficiary and Petitioner (8 trips in total from both of us, we put passport stamps and plane tickets)

·        Facetime record (since we have iPhones is difficult to have a register of what you send so we did screenshots of everytime we Facetime since October 2018 when we stopped leaving together in Argentina and he went back to USA. I'm taking to the interview more facetime screenshots from the beggining of march until a couple days before the interview)

·        Social Media record (we did screenshot of instagram profiles and pictures where family members and friends commented on it, also assuring that the photos we are preseting and date of posting are the same)

·        Gifts receipts (we weren´t together on our birthdays and christmas so we sent gift to one another and we saved the receipts)

I hope is helpful!

What should I have my employer include in the verification of employment letter?  From what I've gathered and researched it seems it should be a confirmation that I do work for X company, my salary, how long I've worked here, confirmation of benefits, my role/position, anything else?

Just that is perfect!

My fiance and I were looking at the online scheduling website that the embassy uses for interview scheduling. The site asks you to confirm that you've been invited by the embassy to schedule your interview (meaning: you've received the P3). I doubt the website actually verifies whether the embassy has sent you the P3 or not. But the way the website phrases it, I felt like we would be lying if we checked that box when we had not, in fact, received the P3. So I think it's probably best to wait until you get the email to go try to schedule your interview. But as soon as you do, go ahead and schedule! And let us know what dates you see.

Yes, I did the same thing.  I noticed that you had to confirm you received SOME documentation or confirmation from the embassy in order to schedule an interview, so I stopped.    I just emailed them and I am patiently waiting.  We will let you know!

[andreaam 514]

Wait until the email! In there they let you know they are ready to receive your case and they invite you to schedule the interview.

Yes, I am definitely waiting for that e-mail.  I've seen how it takes weeks sometimes for some people, so I don't want to schedule the interview and then not have the e-mail on time to do the medical, etc.

Your thinking is correct!

I think this is going to happen to us as well.  We didn't even get a case number at all, not even over the phone!  We only got the e-mail after it was shipped to the embassy.  This is just all over the place.  But, as long as it is approved, I'll take the crazy!

Haha yes of course. Me too! Just trying to make fun how good technology is because  I’m pretty sure I would get crazy if I have to be wait for that letter haha
