I filled up DS-160 as soon as status turned "Ready"

Most of the embassies don't send anything.

Incorrect.  Those NVC messages in the FAQ refer to review messages for documents submitted for immigrant visa cases via CEAC portal.  Note that the CEAC FAQ makes it clear that invoice ID is for immigrant visa cases -- https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing/ceac-faqs.html#ceac1

 

K1 is technically a non-immigrant visa, although it is processed by the IV unit.  K1 cases do not need to submit documents via CEAC.  Hence, nothing for NVC to review, no review messages to be sent, no need to log in, and no need for invoice ID.

 

You are correct. But just for clarification for others. 

ID number exists, we contacted our Congresswoman, and asked for help. We got our NVC number.

But when you try to log in to the system, you get message that you need to fill DS160 and not DS260.

To fill DS160 you only need NVC case number and not ID.

It seems that case turns ready, at the moment it has been accepted by embassy.

Our case was send 3 days ago and has arived yesterday, at that moment I was able to full DS160.

I just got the email from NVC our case is sent to the Ankara Embassy. 70 days from NOA2.

 

Not complaining but curious why it’s not on the shipping date. 😃

Congrats!!!  We will also be going through the embassy in Ankara, but I'm about 3 weeks behind you.  Curious to see how fast (or slow) the process goes once the petition is sent to the embassy.

they didnt respond to my request but to hers, assuming because her email is on the application. 

 

Anyhow, she wrote them last Thursday said we're ready for appt, they responded Monday saying that her appointment is Oct 12.  So that went really fast. We never received any of the instruction packets that have been mentioned before, but I've spent enough time on here that we knew what to do at each step. We went ahead and booked flights for the week after her interview, should be enough time to complete the addition of the visa to her passport. 🤞

😲😲😲

 

What did you do next?!?!

@Eric10112021  We emailed the Tallinn embassy to say to see if we could schedule the medical at this point and they said sure go ahead.

Who exactly did you email and where did you schedule it at? 🤔

Congratulations, 

We reached out to VisaTallinn@state.gov and said our packet is on the way and asked if we can schedule a medical.

Thanks!  How did you pay your DS-160 application fee without your invoice ID?  The document sent to me via email only had our NVC case number.  We're a bit confused.  Thanks for any help!

We got an invoice number, but K1 doesnt use it. The paying of the fees is where things got confusing for us. After the medical she called the hotline to try and make an appt, the hotline person created an account online for her to login and then pay the fee and complete the ds160. They wont let you do any of that until they receive your case and probably until after medical.

That's strange.  We followed the steps on travel.state.gov and already filled out the DS-160 using the link on this page https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html

 

 

It's when we go to pay the fee below is when we didn't know what to do because it asks for your invoice number.

 

https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx --> after you enter your case number it asks for your invoice number which we don't have.
