NVC sent petition - no updates since

[Stephanie8889 3]

Hello - 

I got a notification from the NVC in December that they sent my petition to the US consulate in Peru. They sent an email that said they’d contact either me or my fiancé when the petition was received bur nothing yet. The websites say I can start inquiring but I’m not sure how to get ahold of anyone at the embassy - I’ve tried calling and emailing.
 

I guess my main question - after the NVC sends the petition off - do we wait for a letter from them via mail or email? Is it just a waiting game?  Should I be concerned since I haven’t heard anything in two months?  I started compiling all the paperwork and we did the DS160, and now I’m feeling stuck bc I’m not sure how to proceed. I’m not sure if we schedule the interview or if we get a letter telling us when the interview is. Sorry for the long post - so many questions 🥺

Now I just found under the immigrant visa inquiry that my case is ready so I’m doubly confused as I thought it was a non immigrant visa . I’m assuming I just wait for a letter saying an appointment has been scheduled?

 

also the I797 expired March 2024 - I need to get an extension?

If you click Peru on your profile on VJ and then Lima Consulate information, it’ll tell you that applicants schedule their own interviews.
