Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum.The NVC sent our K1 petition to the consulate on July 18 (this year).We submitted the DS-160 on August 14 and received our case number the next day but have not heard back. We tried to pay the visa fee from https://ais.usvisa-info.com/ but after registering, it says our case is not ready yet.
In order to schedule an interview appointment, we need to pay the fee but we cannot pay the fee if our case is not ready? I'm a little confused haha. Does anyone know if they notify you when the case is at the consulate?
