Good morning all.  I have a question I am hoping someone can answer that has been through this.  We received our London case number this morning from the NVC (yay!).  Do we need to wait until the case gets to London to submit our DS-160 or can we go ahead and submit it now?  I know we can not schedule the interview until it reaches London and says ready but was hoping we could go ahead and get the DS-160 taken care of.  Any advice is greatly appreciated!

If you really want to do it ,don't see why not,  but it takes only few minutes . Right now or later dos not makes any difference ,you will not save any time by doing it now . If you want to save time try to get police report and medical done , some places takes long time to do so . Good luck , all will come together very sun .

Thanks!  We mainly wanted to submit it just to have it done.  We have the police report and will be calling tomorrow to hopefully schedule the medical.  I feel like we are finally getting to the light at the end of the tunnel but there is still so much to do and organize before we get there! haha.  Thanks you for the advice!

So I got my case number today from NVC.

 

I am wondering thou why it says this when I go to CEAC site:

 

 

 

Please follow the instructions you received from the National Visa Center (NVC) that list the six steps you must take before NVC can schedule your visa interview appointment. This includes submitting to NVC various fees, forms and documents. Once NVC has received all the required items, they will let you know if anything is missing or incomplete. You can also find these instructions online at http://nvc.state.gov (English) and http://nvc.state.gov/espanol (Spanish). You will find contact information for NVC at http://nvc.state.gov/ask. 

 

 

Do I ignore this completely? 

 

Thanks.

You can't go much further without the Letter from the Embassy.   You can fill in your DS-160. But you can't submit it. You can't schedule medical or biometrics without the letter.

 

I hope they send our case to Mexico soon

Hey, everyone! I'm just writing to wish everybody a really quick-moving week at whatever stage you're at with your visa! Here's to tons of successful NOA2s, case number recievings, medical appointments, interviews, and approvals for you and us all! We'll all be home with our loved ones soon!

Hi everyone, I must have checked at least five times today. Then at the end of the day at 3:45pm Hawaii time I got a text message that said our case was updated but it didn't say to what status. I logged into the USCIS E-online website to see that our case was APPROVED!!! Malen and I are so happy!! After 122 days of waiting our dreams are coming true! Can I call the NVC tomorrow?? 😂 just kidding. No not really! Lol. We are so thankful for everyone's support and wish that you all get approved as soon as possible! 

God Bless, Jon & Malen

Thank you very much! Probably the most difficult thing that either of us have ever been through. The most worthwhile as well!! Next up getting the police clearances from the Philippines and Singapore then all of the rest. I I know that Malen will breeze through the interview because we have been practicing. At first she thought my job was making coffee and selling it at my work. That's because I'm always the first one in and I make the coffee every morning while she is going to sleep and we are talking while I do it. 😂 She knows that it is only my morning routine now. I thought it was pretty cute though.

If you find out that your case is in the embassy , just try to schedule appointment .It will say ready, but may not receive any other notification for a while  Our email from embassy come to me, beneficiary, after about three weeks from time they receive our paper work , But every country is bit different .

Happy for you . My finance also from Philippines but working in Taiwan . those police reports may take a while if she have to get it from other country's ,best to ask friend or family member to get it and send back to wherever she is .Also fairest I remember need to send some document ,don't remember now what, because just like that some places will not do police report with out showing them reason for it .  Sure she will do great on interview, My was so afraid of it , but it turn out that she went trough very smooth. She receive visa in passport in there days .
