CEAC showing as 'Ready - but no letter from embassy

[Howins 37]

Hi all -- our case has been showing as 'Ready' since 2 July, but I have yet to receive a letter from the embassy. Is this a normal length of time to have not heard anything, or should I call to ensure that our case has arrived from the NVC and everything is progressing as it should? 

 

Can I also confirm that London no longer needs applicants to fill out the 'notification of applicant readiness' form? That seems to be the case from previous posts I have found on this forum, and there is nothing on the embassy website about it, but I just wanted to confirm I was correct in thinking this.

 

Thanks again.

From my experience you don't need a letter from the embassy to go ahead and book your medical. I did receive one 2 weeks after my status changed to 'Ready', but others have reported never receiving one at all. As long as you have proof of your case number for the medical appointment (letter or copy of email from NVC) it's not a problem. 

 

I don't believe you need to fill out the readiness form anymore and just have to book the necessary medical and interview appointments yourself.

First off, you can't call them. The people doing your visa do not communicate by phone. 

It takes a while to get the letter out. Carry on because you don't need the physical letter.

There has been no readiness form for a couple of years. Somebody from another country keeps handing out old info in the K1 threads.

Thank you both for the help.

I have a very similar question. I had my medical on 5th July and have my interview scheduled for the 19th. Our case also shows as "ready" online. I haven't received ANYTHING from the Embassy - no email, no letter, nothing about my case. The only thing I have from the Embassy is the email detailing my interview info (date, time, etc). I do have the email and letter from the NVC though. Just wanted to confirm that I definitely don't need anything else?

If it's any help, I only just received my letter today from the embassy -- and our application arrived there from NVC on 2 July.

The only time you would ever need to show the letter is to the medical people who want to verify your case number. The NVC correspondence works just as well for the medical staff. So no letter/no problem.
