Hello All,
My K1 petition was approved and received NOA2 on December 05, 2023. Using the CEAC Tracker, it shows that our case was created on December 22, last update was January 8, 2024 which shows "Ready" status. It also says "Please follow the appointment schedule provided to you by NVC. If you do not have a schedule from NVC, please wait for scheduling instructions or a notification from the US Embassy Manila." I've yet to receive my Welcome Letter.
I did research for some cases which had the same situation, and they ended up paying for the visa fees and scheduling their interview appointment without receiving their Welcome Letter. Should I do the same or do I wait for the letter?
