Okay peeps, I went from not being able to check my status to this yesterday:

 

"Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center." 

 

Does that mean it's has left NVC? And isn't the embassy supposed to provide my interview date?

 

I'm so confused, as always haha 

Yes it's in transit. it depends what embassy you are mine said that for london but london you book your own date 

they won't look at your ds-160 till they receive your case. Yes that's correct you do receive an email stating it's been expedited. But that still takes up to 7 days to get there. So check on ceac.gov , immigrant case tracker, put in your LND case number and when it says it's ready, and not in transit you can then book your interview. You will receive a letter from the embassy stating they have received your case the following day after it gets to london. Make sure you leave at least 10 days between medical and interview. 

Yes usually you should fill in the ds-160 after the embassy has received your case that's why it's says not ready. After they've received it you'll get sent packet 3 (i got mine the day later). you can track you're case on ceac on the immigrant section and you'll see when it arrives. You can book your medical as soon as you have your case number 😊

Wahoooo! Interview booked 25th May! Thank goodness!

I am just starting to look at the AOS fees.  Now that we are moving forward I will be going over to the AOS forums but I just wanted to ask this here as I am just starting on the AOS portion.  Am I looking at about $3000 each for the AOS/EAD/AP fees?  

 

I see $1225 for the 485, $575 for the 130, $575 for the AP and $535 for the EAD.  Is this right or am I missing something?

 

 

You can file the EAD and AP for free if you submit it with the i-485. So for AoS with those two forms as well will only come to $1225

I am getting the same message. Do you think this means there are no May appointments available and they will release June on May 1st?

 

 

Yes that's how it's worked before when i've had work visas. 😊 thats what mine says too, can't pay the fee until dates are open

Hello everybody! 

I am looking for some help! I am trying to book an interview date for my interview at the Dutch embassy. When I try to pay the visa application fee I can not click on anything anymore and it says: ''There are no available appointments at this time. Please check back in a few days as the Consular Section will open more appointments.''
Now I wonder if I am doing something wrong or if I just have to wait until they open op more appointments? Does anyone from the Netherlands have any experience with this? 

Hopefully someone can help me! 

Thanks!

this is exactly the same as what London is saying right now. Can't pay fee as there aren't any appointments. Most likely wait till the 1st may and more appointments will be avaliable

My fiance has her medical scheduled but can't get an interview date

i'm the same went to book today, and nothing . After doing work visas before i'm pretty sure at the start of may they release new dates

Hi guys ,

Doing my ds-160 for my k1 and trying to upload my picture . it keeps saying illumination too poor. i've tried adjusting it etc but nothing. am i ok just to bring a picture to the interview like it says? 

Hi guys. 

Just a few queries with the ds-160

national identification number - is this our NI number?

City of issue for passport - i put the authority which for me is IPS

Is this right?  

quick question guys!

For my medical it states "if you have any significant/ ongoing/ previous medical conditions please bring a report from your GP regarding this; including , medication, prognosis, management etc"

I had ACL reconstruction in my knee 3 years ago, got discharged straight away after physio same around 3 years ago and no problems since and no medication etc . Do I need to get this in a letter for my GP? 

Hi all! 

For any fellow Brits, got our case number yesterday, literally just called up and booked my medical for the 14th may. So not too far away! Phone call went straight through! 

Its now becoming a reality!

Yes as far as i'm aware and from what I've read other Brits have done 

Hello to all my fellow brits !

Quick question - packet 3 is this sent to your email or through snail mail. And is this what we need to take to Knightsbridge with us?

How long did it take to get packet 3 after your case arrived at London?

Thanks all 😊

Hi Everyone,

 

My fiancee in England tours as part of her job. She has a flat in one city but all of her mail is routed to her parent's separate address. Is she okay to put her current address as her parent's house when applying for the police certificate, or is this inadvisable since she technically doesn't live there full-time? She doesn't have any evidence of the address for her flat, so I'm hoping it's okay to list her parent's instead. 

 

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks!

Yes that's absolutely fine. I've done that two times before for different visas

Option 1 for English then 7 or if you have the newer electronic case they will tell you to hangup and call back using option 5.

AMAZING thank you so much! 

What's the phone number that we need to call for NVC Case Number?

😊

Yes in about a week you can start calling NVC. Once the provide you with your number you'll need to fill out your DS-160 pay your fee and at that point depending on if your embassy does online for packet 3 or mail you can schedule your medical and interview im not sure how the london embassy does this.

Amazing! That's what I thought perfect! Thank you!

Hello everyone! Just a quick question what are actually the steps for NVC before embassy (london embassy) We got NOA2 yesterday so when should we call etc ? In like a week? Then once we've got the case number I can book my medical and interview etc

Thanks
