AUGUST 2021 K-1 NOA2 to NVC to EMBASSY

[Kev & Lexi 41]

I haven’t received any email from NVC. I’m a bit confused as to what we’re supposed to do now, seeing as you all are currently in transit. Me and my fiancé have not submitted our DS-160 on the CEAC. Is that what we’re supposed to do next? We just updated the NVC with our emails once we received our case file number (yesterday).

Just figured out in accordance to the Julian Date Calendar (and through our case number), which date our case number was assigned. August 29th! Still waiting for mail/e-mail.

I haven't filled out my ds-160 and it is now in transit. I don't think it matters if you complete it now or in transit..as long as it is done before scheduling an interview?.. mmm

Oh okay! I think I understand now. I suppose it depends on when the embassy is ready to receive our case, and since I’m Canadian and Montreal is still dealing with backlog, it will take a bit for us to receive our notification.

In transit today, email today. 💪🏽

Ok SO - we had to call the NVC again to get our invoice ID. My fiance asked about an email and the lady was like 'who told you about any email? You need to wait for Sydney to email you and that won't happen until they reopen. NVC will only hold your case. There is no email' 

 

This is all confusing AF information from my lawyer, who I literally am WAITING to fire. She kept telling us we need to get an email from the NVC, thank God we just took matters into our own and called them otherwise we would have just been sat here twiddling our thumbs waiting for an email that was never going to arrive!

 

So the next steps are (going off the Aussie visa page, NOT my lawyer): keep checking on your NVC status, maybe weekly or fortnightly (depending on if your consulate is open or not. Sydney is not open so I won't bother checking every week). Your status will go from At NVC to In Transit then to Ready. Once it says ready, you can go ahead and fill out DS-160. At this point Montreal will email you about the next step as well.

This was so helpful. Thank you so much for your reply, it really helped me understand the next steps. Goes to show you can't always rely on a lawyer either, so pursuing the information for yourself is always beneficial in some way or another.

Morning! I went through the K1 process back in 2018 and we did receive an email from NVC with case and invoice #. It seems that things have definitely changed since then, in which the lawyer should be aware of.
