Hello fellow thread members. Some of you are in both april and may's threads and may have seen this already. Im curious, those of you that checked your visa status after receiving your case #, did you ever see this status? Does this status have any particular meaning?

 

no

Just to clear up some of the confusion, we can pay Visa fee after case status shows 'ready' (before local embassy email) but we have to wait for local embassy email to beneficiary for booking the interview ? Or can we go ahead book the date as well ? Is it the same across all embassies or country dependant ? How do we know if embassy will contact us or not ?

This depends on the embassy. Some will let you go ahead, others don't.
You can though fill DS-160 (can be now, it doesn't even need to be "ready" for this)

Few questions about filling Online  DS 160

 

When Filling form ds 160 petition number is it USCIS Petition number starting with WAC  or NVC case number?

 

Do we need to upload photo in Online DS 160 Form?

People say either WAC or NVC, but if you look at it, it says USCIS so WAC is the "correct" one. But they take the NVC one too.

And the photo upload depends on your embassy. Mine doesn't ask for it, we have a biometrics appointment before the interview where they also take a picture of us.

You should inquire weekly to get your case #. There's a high chance that your case has a number. I received a response on June 28th that my case was received. By using the Julian Date and looking at my case number, it was created about 2 weeks after on July 12th.

[Tere2022 62]

So it seems like everyone that is getting their case numbers got NOA2 in early May? Any mid to late May folks yet? 

[Darko-Emily 49]

Lots of people from May got their case numbers and some even had an interview. We waited 90 days since our NO2, so far our case is still at NVC. Hopefully we will get lucky and it will be shipped at the embassy. 
Our NO2 is April 27th.

Congratulations!

 

If your case is still at NVC, you may email them thru public inquiry and request for embassy transfer. You may attach documents that will show eligibility to take the interview in your preferred location. 
 

However, if your case is already transferred to a US embassy/consulate, then you have to write to both parties. One party, to accept your case and the other party to transfer your case.

 

Best of luck!
