I called them again on Friday and they said NVC has just received my case from USCIS on 5/5. Have you got a case number? NVC told me to check their timeframes. They're creating cases that were received from USCIS on 04/19/22.

No. I dont expect for a week or two they said they received mine 5/3.

Anyone have any updates after case ready for interview? Any packets sent out by the embassy? We can't schedule until we get that packet. 

Any update with your case? Did you get an email or packet 3

Nope nothing yet, cases similar show 2-3 weeks from case is ready. We will hit 2 weeks today.

Ok Like wise for me. Similar cases show between 2-3 weeks to wait. This week is my first so I am hoping next week or the week of 23. 😬😬😬

My fiancée emailed the embassy and this is the response she got. I wasn't aware there was an electronic file. 

 

Dear Ms. Nisha Roy, 

Thank you for your inquiry. We have only received your case electronically at our Mumbai Post. However, we are still awaiting the physical file. We will get in touch with you, once we are in receipt of the physical file.

Are they waiting for the official NVC letter? Like the physical paper?

[strwbrysky 42]

Hi, how is everyone doing? Just an update. Our case has been ready since May 3 but we can't do anything yet since the next step is to complete the medical. Only one hospital does the medical here and its packed up. Our is not until June 9. I'm not complaining, we've gone this far T_T

Honestly have no clue, but it's been two weeks so why haven't they gotten this physical document they speak of?

Just this morning I received the official NVC letter. Maybe that's what they meant? I'm not sure either.

Yes, we got the packet but thru email, its a pdf file. It says we have to book and complete the medical and once we get the result we have to email the embassy to let them know so they can book our interview. But the month's waiting for the medical, it's kinda long wait.. We were hoping to celebrate fourth of July together but I don't think it's happening.

Oh... they really are testing our patience lol. Are you able to schedule your interview date knowing you have your medical date? 

 

Things kind of flew and I wasn't emotionally ready for lol 

We didn't get our p3 by email (even I gave them our emails), so it got delayed (mail sent may 4, and we only received it may 9 by postal mail). But I sent it out yesterday, and got p4 today lol and scheduled my medical and interview. However, they are busy too and I might not get the medical result on time for the interview, so it might delay the approval. I hope that's the only issue and things will go smoothly for you guys!

Wow, the processes really are different in each embassy.

 

Unfortunately, they want us to have the medical results on hand then submit the "Notice of Readiness" before they can schedule us an interview. They might schedule you in a week's time so if you haven't got your medical results yet, you will be much more delayed waiting for another date. I'm not quite sure but they said not to risk it.

 

What is inside packet 4? That's great that you're the ones booking your interviews though. At least you'll have an estimate date on when you can enter the US. If you show up in the interview without the medical results, would they still interview you but submit the 221g for the medical results?

So you received packet 3 and then had to send it back out to receive packet 4? What's in packet 3?

Yea I think that's what is going to happen, I will get a 221g until they received the medical result. Yea I realized how different it is in very embassy. My p4 is basically instructions to book interview, then pay fee then medical and the stuff I bring. I was going to link it here, but it mention Canada lol. 

 

I hope you get a date soon, so you know what to aim for

P3 for me is just to fill the DS160, passport scanned copy and a checklist. 

Canada looks like this: https://ca.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2016/07/Packet3Instructions-K1.pdf 

 

Yup, I sent the P3 and they sent me the P4 to book interview. Again, every country seem very different XD just to make things more complicated
