K-1 visa NVC to embassy stage

[Missy91 1]

When you get your case number and invoice number from the NVC how does one pay for the visa fees?

Assuming NVC has the petitioners email, they will email a notification when the case ships.  NVC does NOT provide an invoice,  fees are paid locally based on consulate specific instructions

Ok thanks,  they emailed me the invoice ID number for the petioner and the Beneficiary invoice I.D. So now I  just wait until it's at the embassy before the visa fees is paid?

Considering the consulate operations are pretty much shutdown worldwide,  I'm not sure if or when they will reopen for business and allow payments and interview scheduling.   Have  you visited your consulate website?

Another member posted that he spoke on the phone with NVC, and until the consulates are open, no files are being sent overseas.

@JorgedigActually, that's what I was told as well but our shipment went out on 31 Mar (I am still in transit since) and the following shipment (mid April) went out too cos I talked to two other filers whose cases are in transit and one of the two has theirs ready.

We don't know the embassy to which you will interview so it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Each embassy has different procedures to when and where to make the payment and schedule the interview.

 

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.

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.
 
Thanks

Shipments are still being sent to some embassies. Next shipment is April 28 and at that time we will see if anything has changed.

You'll have an invoice number and a case number. The case number is three letters and some numbers. I discuss all this in a PDF in the NOA2 to Embassy thread. Look for it on the first page of the thread.

 

Join us in the APRIL 2020 K-1 NOA2 to NVC to EMBASSY thread and download the PDF file on the first post of the first page for tips, tricks and hacks to follow your case to the embassy. I'll post both links below:

Also, thanks for updating your profile. I am now able to provide with some additional information specific to your embassy.

Few days ago, i sent you a text inbox. I am also in the same boat, except my file is ready at the Cameroon embassy since 4/9/20. The beneficiary never received the P3. 

Please, check out Greenbaum's response to get familiarized with the P3 package (just FYI). I called the embassy and they asked to wait on the P3. DS 160 is submitted, but it is not received in the system since they have not processed our case yet.

Take away: once your file arrives at the embassy, we should wait for the P3 o move to the next steps.

 

Good luck

I'm trying to kill COVID-19 with Jonny Walker Red. I think I need a little more.
