Ds260 and civil documents (Merged)

[BlakePeru 1]

After you submit your nvc documents and they are reviewed (two weeks later?) and then accepted, are you automatically dq'ed? Or is there a waiting process after? When does it usually move to embassy? A few weeks later or only when a space is available for an interview? My case is for lima peru embassy

Having documents in "Accepted" status is not enough.  Your case is DQ-ed when you get an email and CEAC inbox message with the words "Documentarily Qualified".  Only after getting that DQ message will your case be put in line for interview.  How long you have to wait in line depends on the backlog at your consulate.

Is there a waiting process after completing the ds260 before I can submit the civil documents? Or do I complete both at same time for the nvc?

You complete everything together.

There is no required order. You can submit whatever you want at any time. Once you have all your stuff sent the NVC stage doesn't take a long time, so be ready to open a bottle of champaign soon. 😁

Correct, and the case gets sent to the Consulate, only AFTER the interview date is assigned.  Immediately after, electronically.
