@Greenbaum hey man. so i contacted embassy earlier and they got back to me regarding ds160 mistake. they said to fill a new one, which i did but haven't submitted yet. Do i have to update it on the CGI website too? i see that i am able to change personal info even after booking appointment, but if i change it is it going to affect the appointment date? Thanks a lot in advance. 

You are basically creating a new one, then go to CGI website and "tie" the two together. Your appointment date will not change.

Yes, i just read it.  I followed the first step by filling out the form for nvc and will wait 10 days to call the NVC for the case number. I hope mine gets received sept 3.

Been away for awhile. Did my medical last week August 22 and 23 and thank GOD it went well. The plan is doing everything in a week but I am kind of stress thinking about how my medical would go. And I'm glad I did it first. I'm just waiting for my interview next month. Was really worried after my first day because I was x-ray twice. Chest and back. I recommend you should be early.

Hello,

 

I'm new here. I've actually read a couple threads here before that were really helpful but now my fiancé and I just received our NOA 2-- i think? That's actually what I wanted to ask and I need help clarification on; we basically got a letter from USCIS saying our case is approved and now NVC will be corresponding with us moving forward and that we should wait 30 days to hear from them. Is the letter we got from USCIS the NOA2 or is the letter we're about to receive from NVC the NOA2? Also in the PDF file (thank you so much by the way for that) the link from the first item leads to an inquiry looking form on the NVC website, so when you said update our email addresses with NVC do we update by requesting updates through that form or should we create a new account?

 

Thanks again.

Without actually seeing the letter i can only reply that it sounds like thats the NOA2. The language within the letter tipped me off. Ignore the refereance to NVC will do... blah blah blah

 

Those are the instructions (from the PDF) to update your addresses.

It just means they have reached limit of applicants from india. Just give it time and they will ship it.  India has a large population of applicants.

I am wondering how much delay is expected , my shipment was expected for 3 sep does that mean it won’t be shipped now and should I continue filling DSi60 and book appointment else I should wait given this email 

not sure if anyone else has received similar email in the recent past.

[Sarge21555 206]

Please do not file DS-160 until advised by your embassy.  Delay is anyone’s guess, 2 weeks or 1 year.  India has many applicants.  You need to wait until your turn is up. Patience.

Just got my case number last monday after calling nvc. Since I will be on sept3rd shipment, a couple more weeks before my case gets to the embassy. Do I have to wait for my case status at ceac to be "Ready" before doing ds160 and paying the fee and schedule an interview appointment?

Why do you say DON'T file the DS-160 when this is not true for all embassies. Can you site a link where this can be verified?

 

Here is what my link states [directly from the India P3]:
