"AT NVC" help :)

[Annikena 6]

Hey everyone!

I have been reading so many posts for about 6 months now, and it has been extremely helpful. Me and my fiance (US citizen) got our NO2 a month ago, and as many here have suggested in their posts, we called NVC and got the case number and invoice id.The lady said that the file is sitting on her desk and that they will email my fiance when they send it to the embassy. We have, as recommended by others on this site, started to collect evidence. However, I am having a hard time understanding what I am supposed to do next. Some say there is a packet that will be sent to me, while others say that I can now start scheduling my interview when we have the case number. I am Norwegian so our case will be sent to the embassay in Sweden, and I was wondering if anyone could help me with a detailed explanation on what to expect/do next.  I checked my status and it says "AT NVC" with the following information below:

 

"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."

 

I'm very confused, am I supposed to pay/submit something to NVC? I thought it had to get to the embassy first? Please give me any advice you have

Ok, thank you! So I will be notified when it gets to the embassy, and where to pay/schedule medical etc through them?

You will get a notification from nvc when it ships,  your ceac status will change to "in transit"  when it arrives at the embassy it will change to "ready"  does the embassy website have the instructions online?

 This should be helpful thread for you to follow along, also when you get a chance, please update your time line https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=302601 with NOA2 and NVC dates. You pretty close to finishing line assuming your documents are in order for your interview!
