Visa K1 - NVC Case Ready

[Tighfield 3]

The case status is ready but the packet 3 has still not been received. Are you able to submit DS-160 and pay fee and book interview in HCMC first while waiting for the packet 3? Thanks for any advice.

With embassy in Saigon, you have to wait until they send you Packet 3.

You can email if its been 2 weeks since the embassy received your file.  They will send you the invitation letter electronically.   - Jason

I submitted the DS-160 and paid the fee prior to receiving the Packet 3.  However, you need to wait until 5 days after mailing in the visa photos etc. per the instructions before scheduling the appointment.
