Thank you @nj2202.  With regards to fee payment, can the US$265 be paid on the day of the interview?  And if that is possible, is it only in cash or is debit/credit also allowed?  

Yes, can be paid on the day of interview. Although, I'm not sure if credit/debit card can be accepted. My fiance paid in cash. Bring sufficient cash to be on the safe side

Can I just confirm that from what I read.  The beneficiary need not collect the medical exam results from the Hospital.  The doctors at Bintaro will send the results directly to the embassy, correct?

 

Thanks

That's correct. You can schedule an interview with the embassy as soon as you are done with the medical exam. No need to wait for embassy to receive your result.

Status turned "Ready" just today!

The DS160 website is very "picky".   I was having trouble using Safari on a MacBook and switched to using the Edge browser which is part of Windows 10 on a PC.    My recommendation is to try a different web browser until you find one that works.

Out of curiosity, which browser is he using?

thanks for your suggestion! he tried chrome and then IE on windows 8 (he doesnt have windows 10) , he will be trying it on firefox later today. Hopefully it works...

Does anyone have any issue filling out the DS160? My fiance told me it seems to say "session time out" every page and he can't seem to figure out why...updated his browser, javascript and all that to the latest version but still running into problems. Does anyone else have the same experience? Should we contact the embassy for this? Not sure what to do..

Our file took about 4 days to go from "At NVC" to "In Transit"... and then about 2 days to reflect "Ready" status

 

The Embassy in Indonesia directed us to wait until they e-mail us to do the medical exam

Hey!! Just curious. Did you wait for the embassy to contact you or you contacted them first? They don’t have my fiancé’s email so I was wondering how they can reach out to him...

in transit now!!!! finally after 18 days!!

Hey guys! Does anyone know how long cases stay at NVC before they get sent to the embassy? I finally received my case # on 7-25. So it’s been 8 days. I’ve been looking at everyone’s timeline and it ranges from 5-8 days from receiving the case number. I’d appreciate the feedback. 😊

I received my case # on 7/20 and it still says "at NVC" today haha. No worries, its not just you

Maybe they're not completely finished with your file. Do you have a case number? Eleven days is well within their processing period. Trust the process.

Thanks @Greenbaum!! Yes I already have a case number. Yeah I'm pretty sure it's just me getting a little bit impatient because it seems like everyone is getting their "in transit" status change within a week and mine isnt but I know comparing won't help and like you said, trust the process!!!!

Thank you so much for the info!! I'll try to manage to get the right hour to call. 

 

Good luck to you too!! 😊

i usually call around 6pm ET (new york) and there was never any wait time

its been 11 days since my case got to the NVC, why isn't it being sent over to the embassy yet 😭

Its been a week since my status changed to "At NVC".........waited 7 months for NOA2 but is getting impatient for a process that is taking 7 days

Yes i just edited my response. I didn't realize it was autocorrected. 

ahhh ok! thank you!!!

It is DS for k Visa. Other Visa types use ds260. 

you mean it is DS-160 for K Visa?

I was under the impression that its DS-160 but...what is DS-260?

Mine took 7 days from at NVC until In Transit but less than 24 hours after, it was at Ready. 

Awesome! Maybe they just don't update immediately and do it all at once.

More good news. The Embassy in Indonesia is receiving the packets from NVC electronically, and our case is now in Ready status after only 2 days. One step closer.

Hey there! How long did it take for your NVC status to go from " At NVC" to "In Transit" I got my number on the 20th I believe. 

But WOW, great news, so you meant your case went from "In transit" to "Ready" in 2 days? That's great news, at least theres that!!

Have you already scheduled your medical examination? Or you will wait until you receive the packet 3 email from the embassy?

Looking forward to your response!!!

It depends on the Embassy. I would say that your current list of documents seems to be find with the exception of the employment letter which could be a little closer to the date of the interview. Just my opinion and may not be an Embassy requirement.

I am also sending in my 2 of most recent pay stubs, just in case my employment verification is dated too far from the interview date, one of which is dated in July. Would that be enough as a supporting document that my employment with the company is still recent and valid?

Is your fiancée in Jakarta? I am not confident in the mail system there, so I was just ensuring that it was really needed. What was your NOA2 date?

Yes my fiance is in Jakarta! Yeah I know the mailing address can be a little confusing but I hope it gets to him! lol. My NOA2 date was Jul 10.

Just now, Greenbaum said:

 

They stopped requiring a original signature. They will except a scanned signature.

that's fine. I just want to be safe, just in case. By the way, is there such thing as "documents dated too early". I started preparing documents before my NOA2.
My NOA2 date is July 10

My employment verification was dated May 24 

My bank statement was dated July 10

I-134 was signed and dated July 14

I hope that by the interview day, all these documents would NOT be considered "outdated". I do know that we are both committed to getting the earliest interview date and POE (my fiance is currently not working in indonesia so he's flexible with his schedule). We have everything ready basically except DS-160, which I think we should only fill out closer to the interview date?

Any Indonesia filers in here?

 

My fiancée was told from a friend who went through this process a few years ago that the I-134 needed to have an ORIGINAL signature to be accepted at the interview (not a copy or scan). I am trying to check the validity of that.

Hey there, indonesia filer here! Yes I heard of that. I thought it was a requirement for all embassies, not just in Indonesia? I have just mailed my signed I-134 to my fiance in indonesia 2 days ago via USPS.

just hit day 200 today, somehow it seems like 200 days is the norm now
