Hi Gary. We just completed the process Nigeria. Not sure how they differ but once the NVC said Ready was when we completed the DS-160 form together. I printed the final forms for my beneficiary and shipped to him along with other documents that he needed i.e-bank statement, recent taxes etc, that need to accompany the i-134. Once the case was in transit I emailed the consulate 10 days later asking if it had arrived. Once it said ready we tried to schedule appt but had some glitches with site. My partner called embassy and he was scheduled. Not sure if it's the same for your consulate.
