Congratulations...we share the same timeline
Vabsmith on 2020-02-25 said:
Congrats VS&BD on getting the approval... Siggy & VS- I wonder if there is a whatsapp group for Mumbai consulate K1 filers...do you know?
Siggy on 2020-02-26 said:
Idk....🤔
blank avatar VS&BD on 2020-02-26 said:
Haha funny you should ask, I was browsing the forums and apparently there is a telegram group for Indian visas, but everyone there was for spousal visa. I even joined and asked, but they confirmed it was all for spouse visa.
blank avatar VS&BD on 2020-02-26 said:
We could create our own if you guys are down
blank avatar VS&BD on 2020-02-26 said:
are either of you down for a telegram group?
Siggy on 2020-02-26 said:
Yes we can.... lets PM
Vabsmith on 2020-02-26 said:
Yes good idea.. let’s do it
Siggy on 2020-03-12 said:
Guys..I tried to search our group discussion.. Guess what..we got our case number...
Vabsmith on 2020-03-12 said:
Siggy, Congratulations! Side note- I hope Mumbai consulate is still conducting visa interviews
Siggy on 2020-03-12 said:
Yes..they are. Till now it's fine... Have you got any information?
blank avatar VS&BD on 2020-03-13 said:
How do they send you the number? via mail? When I called this rude lady said it takes 6 weeks. I'm a bit nervous now
blank avatar VS&BD on 2020-03-13 said:
Just got my case number
Siggy on 2020-03-13 said:
Phew...good
Vabsmith on 2020-03-13 said:
Congratulations!
Siggy on 2020-03-13 said:
Any of your finances are getting ready for PCC.?.. I am thinking to get over with it.. may apply on Monday...
Siggy on 2020-03-13 said:
Oops.. TYPO
blank avatar VS&BD on 2020-03-13 said:
thanks guys, yeah will start with all that. I got all my bank docs ready so that I can prove financial stability and have finished DS-160. We only need the PCC and medical right?
Siggy on 2020-03-15 said:
Yes..PCC can be done anytime (present condition is not favorable) Medical can be done only after booking the interview coz they ask for confirmation +packet 4
Vabsmith on 2020-03-15 said:
I got the PCC done two days ago
Siggy on 2020-04-01 said:
I'm still waiting for cops to come n do the verification. Since my passport address is different than the present.
blank avatar VS&BD on 2020-04-01 said:
My PCC is still on hold, everything is closed in Gujarat
Siggy on 2020-04-01 said:
I hope you have all received email from NVC about shipping (from NVC to embassy); my fiance got one..
Vabsmith on 2020-04-01 said:
Yes I got that email. Thanks Siggy. So what’s the next step? What can we do while waiting? Fill out the ds-160 and have the payments done?
Siggy on 2020-04-01 said:
We have filled DS160 and we are waiting for the payment part.. payment reciept is valid for one year..
Vabsmith on 2020-04-01 said:
I see; so I guess the DS160 will be saved in the profile and you won’t have to fill it again while doing the payment ? Thanks
blank avatar VS&BD on 2020-04-01 said:
Yeah I got the email as well, we are finishing up DS 160 this evening.
Siggy on 2020-04-01 said:
@vabsmith DS160 doesn't have any fees.. but once you submit the DS 160 you will the number to make a visa payment (which is different website). Go to the usultradocs website..you will know everything.
blank avatar Nishv on 2020-04-01 said:
hey guys congrats my case also left the NVC. are you guys gonna done with the payment part pr gonna wait for packet 4?
blank avatar VS&BD on 2020-04-05 said:
Hey all, status updated to ready :) Just need to wait for the covid 19 stuff to finish before we can move to medical and interview.
Siggy on 2020-04-05 said:
Yup, We lit the Diya today to shoo away the virus..
Vabsmith on 2020-04-05 said:
@siggy thanks; let me check the ultradocs website
blank avatar VS&BD on 2020-04-06 said:
Hey what's this ultradocs website?
Siggy on 2020-04-06 said:
Ultadocs where you create profile to book the interview.
blank avatar Nishv on 2020-04-06 said:
has anybody tried to make an account in ustraveldocs?
Siggy on 2020-04-06 said:
Yes, we did.. it's easy and simple. If you google ultra doc Mumbai..you will see all the details you need.. and if you face any difficulties you can ask for help.
blank avatar Nishv on 2020-04-06 said:
it is saying that your request can not be processed this time/.
Vabsmith on 2020-04-07 said:
I wonder if they would do visa interviews over video... they should and it would help so much
blank avatar Myjaan on 2020-05-04 said:
Congratulations! And also best wishes for the future
blank avatar VS&BD on 2020-05-04 said:
anyone get their packets in the mail? I haven't heard anything with the shutdown...
Siggy on 2020-05-04 said:
No mail/email.. We are discussing when to email them. I am sure we all have same expiry date.and I dont see any light at the end of tunnel not even tunnel 🙂
blank avatar VS&BD on 2020-05-04 said:
Shit these approvals expire? I just learned that they opened up spousal visas for now, no word on K1 :(
Siggy on 2020-05-04 said:
Where you got that news??
blank avatar VS&BD on 2020-05-04 said:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-suspending-entry-immigrants-present-risk-u-s-labor-market-economic-recovery-following-covid-19-outbreak/ Says something about these suspension do not apply to Spouses of US Citizens. Mind you http://cdn.ustraveldocs.com/in/ still says that they have shut down all document delivery centers and consulates till further notice, so maybe its open for other countries 💁
Siggy on 2020-05-04 said:
Yup,this news is for everyone. This has not effect on us. They stopped giving green cards for 60 days but not on issuing the visas(anyway embassies are closed) so basically sit and do wait for the doors to open🙏
blank avatar VS&BD on 2020-05-04 said:
Yeah, besides the DS-160, what else is left we can do while we wait 1) PCC, office is closed 2) Medical, going to a hospital in the current lockdown without an interview date is not advisable anything else?
Siggy on 2020-05-04 said:
You said it all...
Vabsmith on 2020-05-04 said:
Anyone contacted Mumbai consulate to see if they have any plan for opening up the interviews?
blank avatar VS&BD on 2020-05-04 said:
Tried calling last night, no response
blank avatar Shahjah88 on 2020-06-22 said:
Hello all, I hope you all are doing good. I am in same path you guys are our visa just got approved and waiting for NVC to send further details, in mean time I was working on I134 assuming that is what I need to fill out for India. I am stuck in Part 3, question 38 on supporting where it is asking I Intent to or do not intent to.. can you please help me with this question?
blank avatar Shahjah88 on 2020-09-09 said:
Hey, I just called US Embassy Mumbai last night and they said they have resumed Pending K1 visa applications they have received before the lock down..If you dont mind sharing, have you received anything? Asking because we are still stuck at NVC and not getting any proper answers...
Siggy on 2020-09-09 said:
We haven't recieved anything yet..they have recieved our files after lockdown. Will let you know . They start shipping from nvc as soon they clear backlogs ( read on different websites)
blank avatar Shahjah88 on 2020-09-09 said:
Thank you for an update.... Wish you the best!!!!!
Vabsmith on 2020-09-09 said:
@Shahjah887- That's great that you were able to talk to Mumbai embassy... Did they mean to say that for those cases that they have received the applications before lock-down they will reach out to the applicants by email or by packet 4 mail?
blank avatar Shahjah88 on 2020-09-24 said:
Hi, No they did not said anything and the next time I called they said they did not resumed any k1 but have started the Spouse visa. I guess K1 visas are not that important.....
blank avatar Shahjah88 on 2020-10-08 said:
Hi, have you got any update from Embassy? are they going to resume the process anytime soon? we should file a petition if there is no update...what do you think?
Siggy on 2020-10-08 said:
Not yet.. how many people do you know waiting for k1?
blank avatar Imsan on 2020-10-12 said:
I heard from group chat someone with 221g whose case Mumbai resumed recently.
Siggy on 2020-10-12 said:
221g Cr1 and h1b have resumed..not sure about other visas
blank avatar Shahjah88 on 2020-10-12 said:
I do not know many people from India who is waiting...but it is not right.. they have resumed spouse, however K1 visas are the same (future spouse).
Siggy on 2020-10-12 said:
True... really doesn't make sense. Let's see.
blank avatar Shahjah88 on 2020-11-02 said:
Hey friend, have you heard anything from the embassy yet?
blank avatar Shahjah88 on 2020-12-07 said:
Hi, have you heard back anything from the Embassy?
blank avatar Myjaan on 2021-02-05 said:
Good luck VS &BD for your interview today, God bless you !
blank avatar VS&BD on 2021-02-05 said:

(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
