The embassy at Afghanistan is a very difficult embassy to get a hold of. The best way is to send and email (address can found on their website and along with that you may find instructions for your next steps) and included both the petitioner's and beneficiary's names, case number and DOB for both. Let them know that your case status on CEAC is set to "ready" condition and that you would like to receive the interview document (commonly referred to the P3 letter) with the instructions in how to prepare and schedule the interview.

 

I usually have this information but I have not be able to find anyone willing to share their copy of the P3.  If you receive a copy could I ask you to provide a copy so I can help out others who come behind you. Good luck.

CEAC Status changed from "Ready" to "Application Received" this morning.

Usually at the end of the month they’ll email you for interview dates for the next 2 months. It takes a while to hear from the embassy. Patience is key

Such great information, thank you so much for posting! Quick question, is the DS-160 an application? I went on the link you provided and it requested that a photo is to be submitted, is that normal? I thought it was a form to be printed out not an application? Thank you for your assistance!

Yes the DS-160 is an online application that needs to be filled out. And yes it asks for a photograph to be uploaded as well. I had difficulty with the photo Bc there is a file size requirement that was difficult to meet. Once you complete the application there is a one page confirmation page that you print out and bring with you to the interview.

When your record updates with a date change but no status change it means that someone is working on your case. If you see those dates changing, then that is a good sign and you should not worry. It is my experience with the embassy in Nigeria to be awfully slow with everything they do. So, there is really nothing you can do but wait but stay engaged.

 

We need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.
 
So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.
