US Immigration from Gambia

So...I have done a little research on how to cut down some of the processing time after your case has been sent from the NVC to the Consulate. (Speaking of the Senegal Consulate.) I have read that once the NVC has sent my case to Senegal Consulate that I can pay my MRV fees, $265, and then go out to the AIS and schedule and appointment. Can this be done without receiving an instruction letter from the Consulate first?

Does anyone know how to pay the DS160 fee to the Consulate of Senegal without having to travel to Senegal directly and paying in cash?

Hi I just received an email from the Embassy in Senegal saying that they canceled the February interviews will that affect my NOA2 because it expires in February and they said we can reschedule but when I went to the app there s nothing available yet!!! It s like every time when things get close for him something comes up I m getting so frustrated

Is there anyone else stuck at the NVC stage? We have been since April 2020

Now that the consulate has begun processing k-1 visas again, has anyone received their appointment for an interview and if so, when did you receive an approved petition?
