Hello all. A question for those who know. My fiancé is in Nigeria and we are in the process of a K1. We received our NOA2 June 17 and I have our NVC case number that I received via email after submitting an inquiry. My question is, when does my fiancé fill out his DS160 and pay the application fee? Are we supposed to wait for the welcome letter from NVC? I know things are taking longer than normal due to the COVID-19 and the embassy in Nigeria isn’t open yet for interviews. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks!

Wait until all of the conditions you mentioned have been resolved 

YMMV

Track your case on https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=IV with your case no,  if it shows "ready" you can go ahead and fill your ds160 form

I have similar questions. 

I called the  NVC in May and they gave me my case number. (I received my NOA2 on 1stApril) 

What next? 

At what point do I fill my DS160? 

 

Congratulations!! Join us in the JUNE 2020 K-1 NOA2 to NVC to EMBASSY thread and download the PDF file on the first post of the first page for tips, tricks and hacks to follow your case to the embassy. You'll find many of your questions have been answered in the PDF. We talk about the DS-160, Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application and when is it an appropriate time to submit. I'll post both links below:
