I saw Keith making a post somewhere that NOA2 has A-number of the beneficiary. I don't know how many of us missed that and I am not even sure if it matters.
 
Also I don't know how important this information is but it won't hurt.
 
On i134 and I think also DS160 (I haven't submitted or filled completely either) there is a section which asks about A-number of beneficiary (if any) 
 
If you are senile like me this is just a reminder 😃

No, if you lived in  an other  country for more than six months then you need one from that country.but if you still want one from pakistan for your peace  of mind  , you go to nearest  district  court to get one.in lahore they have special  booth for police report at liberty  chowk.

No you do not need police certificate for Pakistan, however if your fiancée lived in a country outside Pakistan for more than 6 months then it’s needed from that particular country. 

all information is on the Pakistan webpage

If you are older than 16 years of age:  Police certificates are not required from Pakistan. However, an original police certificate is required from any countries where you previously lived.  For more information on obtaining these certificates, visit Reciprocity by Country. If the first three items are all true, or the fourth item is true, you must obtain and bring a more recent police certificate to the interview:
You are older than 16 years; Your stay in that country was more than a year; and You obtained a police certificate and submitted it to NVC more than one year ago; or You still live in the country that issued the police certificate and you submitted it to NVC more than one year ago.   
 

You have to take the documents to the interview if you are going through fiancé visa. I am waiting for passport to pick up. It’s issued on CEAC. Waiting for courier call. 

Any vaccine that is approved by either USFDA or WHO. I have never heard of this vaccine. Look WHO approved list of vaccines

Thanks a lot for such a detailed response, if anyone else who has already gone through this wants to add something here which can help people who are in waiting stage will be much appreciated as well. 
 
I am not sure what the holdup but again the transparency at work at our federal level is uuugggee 😅

You should actually choose the immigrant visa, not NIV. It's weird but that's how it works:
1. https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=IV
2. Enter Case # and (Invoice # is only requested for NIV) and you'll get a popup that gives you the status and a few other pieces of info about electronic processing and logging in and ceac.state.gov/iv and steps for paper processing.
 
My understanding is that you can also login to your account (see #2 above) at ceac.state.gov/iv and pay fees, see messages etc. When I logged it I got a message about nonimmigrant visas requiring DS-160 and that was all I could see. I assume after my case gets to the embassy and I have filed DS-160 I will be able to get messages etc here. Or I guess my fiancé will. 
 
I think this is the unknown. I'm hoping that my case is sent to the embassy on shipping day next Tuesday. Not sure what the "review" part is. Probably making sure they have everything the embassy needs?
 
We started ours (well, his). I've heard most people wait until they get the "ready" status before submitting it and others who have submitted whenever. Remember the woman who filed in Feb and it took 6 months to interview (South Korea) who shared a detailed account of her process? She filed the DS-160 before she even got NOA2! Like, a month before. But it's only good for so long and if you think there could be a long wait for the interview, you might end up having to do it again and there's a fee. 
 
It's an online submission here: https://ceac.state.gov/GenNIV/Default.aspx
And it's long. And glitchy. And times out. You need to download the barcode page to take to the interview. 
 
Good luck! I can't imagine what's taking so long. I got NOA2 well after you and have my case # already. 
 
Also, I'm sure if anything I have said above is not accurate, I will be corrected
 

Congrats... your case has wheels 🏍 🛵  
Apparently my case got to the NVC on 14th of Oct (just got off the phone with them) but they still haven't created a case number or anything. Mysteries of US immigration system 💯

What I saw is next shipment is on 26th and 27th 
 
Islamabad embassy is current with no backlogs, so if we get our NVC case number even a few days before that we should be next
 
I got my NOA 2 on 8th of sep and I am still waiting for my case number at NVC
 
 
 
 

Is this the page you wanted?

There is a February thread which has a similar spreadsheet, I think it's done by wac number ranges because in order to get the dates right someone needed to manually input the dates in Feb and Mar for accuracy. 
 
Never mind just saw Gail and Derricks msg here 😃
