Case 'in transit'- what can I do before receiving letter in mail?

[BandBjourney 21]

Hi!

 

New to this site and hopefully i'm posting this in the right place!

 

I am currently applying for my K1 visa, moving from UK to US, (I am the beneficiary).

I received an email a few days ago saying that my case was now on the way to the embassy in London and when I typed my case number in on the ceac website it says 'in transit'. I'm just wondering what I can do at this point. Whether I can book my medical or should I wait until I receive the welcome letter from the embassy? I have heard mixed opinions on this. I rang the NVC from the UK myself to get my case number several weeks ago and we still haven't even received a hard copy from NVC saying they have received our case. So as you can imagine, I don't really want to wait around for the embassy letter if I can help it. 

I have also not sent off my DS-160 form yet/paid any fees but have all the info saved and ready to go. Is this something I can do now too??

We have hired a lawyer and although she is really helpful she is also taking exams for the next 3 weeks and is unavailable which is really annoying as I have so many questions!! 😂 I don't like to be waiting around if i know there are things I could be getting on with in the meantime. 

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

There won't be any hardcopys from the NVC so don't wait for them 😊

 

You can submit the ds-160, pay your fee, schedule the medical and book your interview appointment. Have a look at the embassy page and you should find all the information you need. Also check out the subforum for UK here on VJ.

Thanks! I've been lurking on this site for a while but still confused how to use it lol. I'm wary about submitting my DS-160 without my lawyer checking it over first but it seems pretty straight forward. I'm just super anxious about messing anything up!

There's almost nothing that you can do wrong. Go for it.
