I-129F NVC CEAC status Ready

[Walagemini 34]

Hello everyone. First time posting on this forum and I hope I am doing this right

 

I am the beneficiary of the I-129F petition (K-1 visa) and I currently live in Hong Kong. My case was approved on March 19th, and up til April 12th, the CEAC case status said my case is ready, which I assume it means that my case have arrived the HNK (Hong Kong) embassy. I have filled out the DS160 online as instructed by the NVC email, but I have NOT paid the visa fee. Also, US embassy in Hong Kong does not allow you to schedule the interview time on your own, they assign you a time which then you'll attend your interview. I called and asked the US embassy about what I should do now and when I should expect packet 3, but all the lady said is that they don't know when it will be sent, and they advice me to be patient. 

 

My question is that until now, I have not received the packet 3 which contains the information for visa interview and the documents I will need to bring to the embassy when the time comes. Does anyone (especially individuals who have had their petition through the HNK embassy) knows what i should do now? How long should I wait for packet before I call again? Or should I try to pay the visa fee even though I cannot schedule the interview time?

 

Thanks for reading and I look forward to your replies

Only the cover letter does, but the document checklist doesn't

 

If you are interviewing at the hong kong embassy, maybe we can contact more often? because they are not very many HK vjers here :/

Hi, yea i just got it yesterday 😆 i sent an email to visa section, and they told me that they sent out the packet on 12th April. What happened was, the mailing address that my fiancé provided on the I-129F was incomplete. I gave them my complete address and they sent a duplicate of the packet. You should try to contact them.

I haven't paid it yet, though i already printed out the ds-160 confirmation page. I'm not sure about when to pay the visa fee, but i think it should be fine.
