DS-160 early?

[Zcomuto 16]

Hey guys, My visa status on the NVC website says "Ready", and I'm waiting on the packet 3 from the embassy (Tokyo).

Is it possible to fill in the DS-160 early or should I wait?

Thanks!

For me,After my status shown me "Ready",I suddenly sent P3 to the Embassy with not waiting the Letter from the Embassy !!!

I filled it in when my case was at the NVC. Just make sure you write down the application number that they give you and remember the security question. What I did was fill it in but I didn't finish it. It's valid for 30 days; you can open and close it and review it as many times as you want as long as you don't finalize it. To access it again they ask you for:

-application number

- first 5 letters of your last name

- year of birth

- answer to the security question (you can chose one question out of a list when you first start the process)

As soon as I got my "package 3" I confirmed it and printed the confirmation page (the one with a barcode) Before I did that, I (obviously) made sure everything was correct first (before you finish it all the information shows on screen so that you can make sure it's all ok) It's a pretty long form so I'm happy I did it beforehand.

Alright! working on it now.

COuple of questions, though:

1. Immediate relatives in the US - it says this means Fiance as well, but she's currently living in Japan with me. No is the correct answer, I assume?

2. When asking about Fiance, it doesn't give an option to select country. Should I put her home address in the US (where we plan on living for a time) in there, or the Japanese address?

Done! Got the form filled out this morning, just waiting on a few things to check (like the above question regarding fiancé address outside the US).

I called the embassy too, who confirmed they have it - and said I'll get an email within a couple of days with further instructions, but not to actually send the DS160 just yet.

Did you have your medical in Japan? Mind if I ask where you went?

I'm so sorry sir,I think you can speak Japanese

I'm from Thailand and working for Japanese company as Japanese Interpreter.

Anyway,I did my medical in Thailand because I live here and I'm Thai.

Ohh,Please read the instruction of P3 that where is the hospital in Japan that the US embassy will expect...

Good luck !!!

I got Packet 3, and I've booked an appointment at the clinic. The clinic asked for some kind of proof with the NVC case number on it - after going through the documents I have, I don't actually have one. I'm wondering what I should take as proof.

Normally,we will not book an appointment until we get P4 (Date of interview) in Thailand

Many women here went to checked medical Examination after we received P4 from the Embassy,then when we go to check,we just show P4 with Case number to the doctor and we bring the result when we have to get interview,there is no problem about this..

Good luck !!!

[Zcomuto 16]

From what I understand, Japan doesn't actually have a packet 4. Interviews are scheduled by the applicants online. What does the medical center need in order to have the examination done? Will be just handing the case number over do, or do they need some kind of official letter?

[Blossomman999 0]

Oh,It's very interesting that Japan doesn't have P4,Are you kidding me?!!!

P4 which is an Appointment date of Interview that the US embassy will send it to the applicants by Email only !!

Actually,After NVC assigned your case number,they should to sent the Letter to the petitioner in the US,but my bf didn't received it.(There is no problem because many couples didn't get it too but their visa approved )

If you received,you can use that anyway...
