FEBRUARY 2019 K-1 NOA2 ----> NVC

[Ashley May 60]

Found out today my case arrived at NVC this week they didn’t specify which date so I’m going to ring when they open and see if my case number has been assigned. 

 

Really hoping to make the April 2nd shipment to the embassy.

I'm just worried to start scheduling the interview without receiving their packet 3 instructions. I might email them first and see what the response is. I will update you if I do it differently. Hope it goes smoothly from this point going forward

Yes I’ll keep you posted too. I think if we weren’t supposed to be able to do it online they wouldn’t have given us access. Because it seems that the system is built upon the fact that you only have access to what you should be doing at that point. This morning I got an email saying that the MRV fee is activated so that’s how I knew I could go online and schedule it. Yesterday the site wouldn’t let me move on because it hadn’t recognized the payment. Now I’m able to move forward on the site but unfortunately there are currently no appointments available 🙈 I’ll have to keep checking for something to open up

Try the sub-forum for the Philippines. There just was a discussion of what is available.

PEOPLE:  This for everyone's benefit. There are sub-forum discussion, though some country's/regions have a higher count of activity, I HIGHLY recommend using it for a great source of information for those "what's next" and "Can I" questions. To find yours, go to the top of the page, blue ribbon and select "Forums". Scroll 3/4 of the page down and you'll see a listing. Ask your specific questions for the interview preparation with in those forums. If yours is not listed or has very little activity, then continue to ask in a forum like this and we will try and help.

I believe we're the only two cases that went to Cairo in this shipment!! Mine also changed to Ready. Did you send an email to Cairo embassy and they gave you instructions on how to start paying and then schedule the interview? 

 

Congratulations and good luck to both of us at Cairo

Congratulations to you too! I didn’t email them yet because when my visa status changed to ready I was able to move forward on my ustraveldocs website and print out the visa fee form. My fiancé took the form to a CIB bank today and paid the 4902 Egyptian pounds and got the receipt. After that I tried to use the CGI reference number from the receipt to schedule the interview appointment but it didn’t update yet. It takes about 1 business day to update so I’m hoping by tomorrow I can schedule it but since Egypt’s weekend is Friday and Saturday idk if this will count as a business day. Once I have an interview date I’m going to email the consulate because I know they require you to send a list of  your documents via Aramex courier service prior to your interview so I need to know which documents they’re requesting. Up to this point everything has been fairly clear but I hope they reach out to us first regarding what to send, a lot of people seem to get delayed because they’re not sure if they should wait to reach out to the Cairo consulate or not so I think once I have an interview date scheduled I will email them if they don’t email us and ask what to do because I don’t want to waste time. Also last I checked the next appointment is April 10. So nice to have a fellow Egyptian here 🙂

I don't know if I have shared this information about the embassy in Egypt but here it is again:

Normally I would have a P3 letter from your country but yours I do not have. Others have shared with me their P3's which I used to pass on those who come behind you just like I have tried here with you. If you do get a copy, could you share it with me. Just PM me here on VJ with a scanned copy. Thanks.

Hi everyone. I called NVC and finally received my case number today. Does anyone know how long it takes for the embassy to receive it and for us to start booking an appointment? The case # was just generated today and they received it from USCIS on the 18th Of march. My fiance' is from Brazil. We need to make our own appointment and I was wondering how long it would take for the Embassy in Brazil to receive our case #. Thank you all for your help!

Next shipment is on the 2nd, when you can actually go to an appointment after that is Embassy specific. Some are ready in a few days after they receive the packet, some are a few weeks. Ask in your regional subforum for more guidance.

Finally gave in and called NVC today, as it's been 6 weeks since our NOA2. Our case number was assigned 3/18, so we'll be in the 4/2 shipment. Everything feels so sloooooow, but at least we're inching forward.
