I've seen some comments posted saying that if you wait until your fiance receives the physical letter from the embassy, you've wasted time.  It seems they suggest that you try to initiate the embassy appointment scheduling as soon as you have the actual NVC case number.  I don't see a topic directly addressing this, so I spun up a new/dedicated question here.  Should you begin generating the statement of income form and go through the scheduling process (Manila here for example) without waiting for the letter?  Is there an art to this to avoid being too early?  Thanks in advance.
