Kenya Embassy Process after NVC

[Her Highness 20]

Greetings,

We received a letter dated Mar 3 from NVC with our case number and informing us that they were forwarding our petition to the Kenya Embassy, and that the embassy will contact the beneficiary .

The visa status check on CEAC shows ready,  case last updated Mar 13. There's further information that case is ready for interview when scheduled at the U.S Consular and to prepare documents as per appointment letter.

 

My first question is, does the Kenya embassy communicate via postal mail or e-mail?

 

Based on the information in the tips, tricks and hacks from the NOA2 to NVC to embassy file, one can complete DS-160 once they have the case number but going to CEAC it requires an invoice number which we never received. My fiancé is planning on calling NVC tomorrow to request for it. In the meantime, is there another way to get it?

 

My other question is, is there more documentation to submit once we log in to CEAC? I have read and re-read the NVC visa process but I'm still confused as to whether the same process described also applies to K-1 since it appears as immigrant visa in some content and non-immigrant visa in other.

 

Thanks

NVC is not involved nor do they issue an invoice number.  Local instructions come from the consulate.

Hey,

 

I believe for K-1 you don't need an invoice no. There are no additional documents to submit to CEAC. The case number you received is it. Just go ahead and fill out the DS-160. The consulate will communicate via e-mail.

Q1 - I believe they communicate via e-mail. Most embassies directly communicate with the beneficiary with an email.

Q2 - Referring to the PDF the status check on CEAC does not require an invoice number to receive your updated status.

Q3 - There is no other way to get your invoice number but to call.

Q4 - You will deal directly with the embassy moving forward. NVC instructions are for "immigrant" visa's like a CR-1.
