To anyone who can help:

 

We received our case number and have been informed that our case has been expedited to the Frankfurt embassy. I know that the next steps are ds-160, health check, interview, but how do I necessarily go about doing these things?

 

-We just filled out the Ds-160 form and printed the confirmation page, but didn't see anywhere where it said to pay for it? So, how do we pay for it?

-how can I schedule the interview and how long after the health check can we schedule the interview?

 

Thanks! 

also, no fee for ds-160, you need to pay for the visa online however

Hi guys... i don't have my nvc # yet but i just want to go a step ahead, what's the difference between DS-160 and DS-260? and which one is the one we as K1 Filers should be doing? and what's the different between the 160 and 260?

DS-160 is for K1 fillers. The DS-260 is for IR1/CR1 filers.

Differs between countries

DS160 - print final page

Book doctors

Book interview - leave 1 week from doctor's date to allow for documents to be sent from docs to your embassy 

That's how it works here

Thank you for your reply. 

 

Bout the letter from employer. Im planning on having it signed by my manager without the date then have my fiancee put the date when shes ready. You think thats a good idea?

 

When should the beneficiary send this docs to the embassy?

It depends where you're coming from. As far as I'm aware, they send all docs to you and you take those to the embassy on your interview date

Do you know why they sent you NOID? Becasue I see that you got your NOA2 already.

Yeah, we missed one tick-box on our form and they wanted more evidence. I dont think it was worthy of a NOID but

Did you get NOID? Why?

 

I'm worried if 2017 is the requirement since my fiance didn't file it yet.

I got NOID because we missed one tick box and they wanted more evidence

File what you have and explain, bring what evidence you can. IRS Tax Receipt is good, pay stubs, letter from employer, bank statements etc

I saw a VJ member posted in this website just now, saying that the consulate officer asking for 2017 IRS Tax Return Statement for 2017. Anyone here just have their interview? Can you let me know how many years of tax return you provide?

From what I hear, only the most recent is required. If it comforts you to have a few years, more evidence can't hurt!

They are a bit slow. It takes longer and longer now. Hopefully, from now on they will be more efficient.

it took 8 months for them to raise my NOID zzz

Good Morning!!!

 

Yesterday my fiancé Received NVC letter in mail. Took 10 days since NVC assigned case number Jan 12.

I called yesterday to consulate and they told me they have my case but it takes up to 2 weeks to send me the email with instructions and that I can schedule my interview.

So I did, interview date Feb 21, waiting on email to go through with medical examination since in Dominican Republic we don't need to make an appointment.

 

Waiting on that email...

Congratulations!

I did mine after NOA2 as well! As long as you note down the AA number it should be fine (they email it to you anyway).

 

Also it's the I-134 you just take to the interview, then for AOS you need the I-864.

So I-864 comes later? Cool <3

You mean Form I-864, that form is for CR-1/IR-1 visa. 

 

You can fill up the DS-160 but you have to take note of the Application ID found at upper right side to retrieve it when you log out. Don't submit the form until you have a interview date. DS-160 will only ask for your USCIS WAC number. 

Butts. I read that you can do DS-160 after NOA2... I submitted it yday :/ hopefully it will be okay. Thank you!

Form I-134, it is for free. 

 

https://www.uscis.gov/i-134

Thanks, we completed I-134 but found a source saying I-184...

Also, if I complete my DS-160 before the case number, is that okay? I did it yesterday, or shall I just re-do when I get case number :S

Affidavit of Support:

What number form is required? Is it I-134 or I-864? Where are these filed, and do you have to pay?

Thanks,

Mel

Hey,

If I were to book the doctors with the NVC number, before CEAC updated to ready, would I get in any sort of trouble? 

1 hour ago, tpmd said:

I'm a bit confused about the notification of readiness and hoping you can help! 

 

Basically, I haven't filled it in. The instruction letter I have sent me to a link that didn't indicate to fill out the notification of readiness. I just had to set up an account, enter my details (including ds160 aa number), pay, schedule my interview. Has something changed? Or should I still fill out the notification of readiness? 

All sources I've looked at have said to fill it out, and I don't think any issues could come from doing so, so I would complete it to be safe x

If what was approved tomorrow?  

After NOA2 your case will be sent to the NVC.  When you receive your case number from them (you can call to receive it), you can begin tracking your case with the CEAC tracker.  When that tracker says "Ready for interview", it means the embassy has received your case from the NVC and you can go through the steps necessary to schedule and interview.  This is different for each country and the wait time for an interview is definitely embassy specific.  

Sorry, I mean if I got my case number tomorrow, I'm a bit flustered right now, having a moment of worry and stress, I guess.

Quick Question:

Typically, how long is the wait for an interview? If I got approved tomorrow and called for an interview, what time frame am I expecting? 2 weeks? A month?

averaging 47 days but there are some people waiting 70 days

DAMN y'all are organised

Just now, Martin3517 said:

OMG april?

Yeah, it's been a rough one. Basically, one check box wasn't marked and they took until December 5th to tell us, with a Intent to Deny (which shook me to my bones), so we got approved in late December.

Hello new friends

I am an April filer but our thread is dead cos everyone has moved over to US now, so I join you!

NOA1 - April 11

NOA2 - December 19

Waiting for NVC number - what's the avg wait time been like? 6 weeks or more? zzz

Anyway, nice to meet you all. Also, anyone without NOA2 yet, it can take a long time. I mean it took 252 days for ours...

Please don't give up hope. Just keep prepping as much as you can x

I called them today and they said we're not on the system yet, and that they're approving cases from 6 weeks ago. But, I'm allowed to call daily, and I will call daily
