I received an e-mail from our embassy about an hour ago asking if we had filled out our DS-260, which was not available as of yesterday. I responded we had not. I then checked the CEAC website and noticed that the IV FEE went from Not Invoiced to N/A and the IV Application says NOT STARTED instead of N/A.

The Current Processing Site is Bucharest and the Visa Status says READY. This is a change from yesterday of Current Site NVC and Status of NVC.

What do we do? We have the AoS packet ready to submit to the embassy. Also we have basically all of the IV packet. We need to do the medical, but we don't want to do ANYTHING that might set things back.

The embassy wrote me again recently asking for my NVC Invoice Identification # which I provided and it is now close of business and we have not heard anything else.

Should we do the DS-260 online even though our case is at the embassy, or wait for instructions from them on Monday? Should we do the medical now or wait for instructions from the embassy?

We're not sure what Ready means as far as our responsibilities at this point. We expected it to take at least over the weekend to be in Transit to the Embassy, it was there in about 18 hours!

Please help us!

Edit : We did NOT receive an e-mail from the NVC stating any changes even though we knew from the embassy our expedite was approved, we checked the webpage and found it updated without any correspondence from the NVC.

My case was expedited at the NVC stage too. If you aren't sure what to do then wait for the embassy to send you the packet with instructions. As soon as my ds-260 unlocked I filled it in and printed off the confirmation page. That won't slow you down. Once the embassy sends you the packet your case will go very quickly so you can take a deep breath and relax until then. :) (Thats how our embassy worked)
