I think k1 is categorized as immigrant visa in CEAC system

tbh you can get a clear and quick answer from just google it my friend.....https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-3-pay-fees.html

Answer quoted from @Mar u posting on other group in vj for your reference: You may fill up the ds160 now and pay the fees when its already in “transit” status. However, dont try to schedule your medical and interview unless case is on “ready” status. Medical has expiration and getting an interview schedule may take time. So you have to consider the timing.

You are right!! hmm....maybe it's better to postpone my scanning time then, usually I do it at 5pm PST based on CSC working hour. Here are the updated scan from yesterday: 2/27/23 Monday Updates: 25500: 1 Approval, 1 RFES (2 new / 0 in progress) 26000: 3 Approvals, 2 RFESs (5 new / 0 in progress) 26500: 1 RFES (1 new / 0 in progress) 27500: 1 Approval, 2 RFESs (3 new / 0 in progress) 28000: 5 RFESs (5 new / 0 in progress) 29000: 1 RFES, 1 Withdrawal (2 new / 0 in progress) 31000: 1 Approval, 1 Withdrawal (2 new / 0 in progress) 31500: 3 Approvals (3 new / 0 in progress) 32500: 1 Approval (1 new / 0 in progress) 33500: 1 Other (Case Was Reopened For Reconsideration) (1 new / 0 in progress) 34000: 2 Approvals, 2 RFESs (4 new / 0 in progress) 34500: 1 Withdrawal (1 new / 0 in progress) 35500: 2 Approvals, 1 RFES (3 new / 0 in progress) 36000: 4 Approvals (4 new / 0 in progress) 37 Total Updates: 18 Approvals, 15 RFESs, 3 Withdrawals, 1 Other (Case Was Reopened For Reconsideration)

I think FB group is scanning different case number range compared to vj, so the number might differ as well.

Monday 2/27/23 Updates: Not a good start of the week...probably under maintenance again? 25500: 1 Approval, 1 RFES (2 new / 0 in progress) 26000: 3 Approvals, 2 RFESs (5 new / 0 in progress) 26500: 1 RFES (1 new / 0 in progress) 27500: 1 Approval, 2 RFESs (3 new / 0 in progress) 28000: 5 RFESs (5 new / 0 in progress) 29000: 1 RFES, 1 Withdrawal (2 new / 0 in progress) 31000: 1 Approval, 1 Withdrawal (2 new / 0 in progress) 31500: 3 Approvals (3 new / 0 in progress) 32500: 1 Approval (1 new / 0 in progress) 33500: 1 Other (Case Was Reopened For Reconsideration) (1 new / 0 in progress) 34000: 2 Approvals, 2 RFESs (4 new / 0 in progress) 34500: 1 Withdrawal (1 new / 0 in progress) 35500: 2 Approvals, 1 RFES (3 new / 0 in progress) 36000: 4 Approvals (4 new / 0 in progress) 37 Total Updates: 18 Approvals, 15 RFESs, 3 Withdrawals, 1 Other (Case Was Reopened For Reconsideration)

I‘m curious did you guys send direct email via NVCinquiry@state.gov, or through the public inquiry form to ask updates on received or case creation? My understanding (as what's told on the first post) for the online form is to update your information or change address etc.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sN2bo1xZhs8oVU6-QDUdBXBX2_ci8_QJ0wiz59Gp6H4/edit#gid=0 this spreadsheet has a total summary of all cases and each month's total and backlog....hope it helps

Some other answers I found on vj for your reference: As the sponsor, you'll be the one to receive the NOA, so no issue there. A case number will be generated once the case reaches NVC, so you can call them to change address. Or just wait until the K1 beneficiary fills the DS-160 to update the address. Guess it's not the USCIS you need to notify but NVC first, because they will be the one to mail documents to beneficiary. When it comes to schedule appt, you can put in new address in the DS-160 form.
