Yaaay just checked CEAC and status say " In Transit" Wuuuuhuu!
Good luck everyone!

It's shipment Tuesday. Shipments will leave today and tomorrow. You can check your shipment through a DHL Hack that I will post below. REMEMBER you will not have results from DHL for 24 hours until such times as NVC and DHL computers sync. So don't be discourage. If your ceac.state.gov account shows in transit, trust that it is in transit. Good luck to everyone who has been given a case number. Further instructions can be found on the first page, first post of this thread.
 
If you do not make this shipment date, the next date is April 16.
 
Try and refrain from posting screen shots of your CEAC page showing in transit. We all know what it looks like and we promise to take your word.  This keeps the thread tidy. Thanks everyone.
 

lucky you! ours doesn't send P3 via email...

hope CEAC updates quick i can't wait lol

Nope. All you need herein Germany  is the case number and they send it to the consulat (which takes 2 weeks). so it will be there when my case gets there. and since its valid for 6 months there is no problem.

I´m there with you! Waiting anxiously!

finally ist April 2nd
have our case number since March 18th but still "At NVC".
went to my medical today so now I am just waiting for them to send the case to Germany so I can have the interview!

I'm looking forward to seeing timeline updates! 

April 2 is tomorrow. Fingers crossed for all of us awaiting shipment!

Email from NVC that gives me my case number. I have had my case number for a while now but I needed the email in order to go do our medical appointment. 

the day will come, it goes fast. in the overall scheme of things, time from noa2 to arrival at embassy is quick, even though it can feel like forever. 

Most files leave NVC every other week. Next shipment date is tomorrow April 2. Go to the first page, first post and look for the DHL hack and try using it on Wednesday or Thursday as well as watching your status on CEAC.

USEM = United States Embassy - Manila. The OP is from the Philippines and their question centered around the travel time to the Embassy and I am assuming they also want to know what and when can they start the process in the Philippines. Hence, my answer.
 
I've been reading along on every page here in this thread and I remember on a number of occasions that Greenbaum and others advocated that it is fine to begin your DS-160 but it is best to wait till you have your case number. Also, I remember Greenbaum was helping others who where interviewing at the London embassy, just like you and he was able to share some valuable information whereupon it answered these questions about starting your medical. He also recommended that a good place to ask specific questions to your Embassy would be in your sub-forum. He said to go to the blue ribbon at the top of this page, select "Forums" and scroll down 3/4 of the page to find your regional sub-forum. It sounded to me like good information.

Thanks everyone! Its such a surreal feeling to know it's really done. 

We were approved 😍😍😍

Medical done! That’s one more thing ticked off the list. Just one more thing to go - the interview at the end of the month. 

How beautiful! I've choked up a bit. You will be celebrating in a while!

In a small town in Ukraine, a girl has awoken and will soon leave for the Embassy 😊
 
2.5 hours till doors open

With the interview scheduled so suddenly, on April 9th, we are in such a wonderful crunch!  We weren't sure if  Neil was going to have to change it, but has booked his medical for the day before, so he is going ahead with it! This is it! Soon, he will be on his way!

Thank you!

Does it ask for the A number? If no don't worry.  If yes you can go back in and correct it prior to your interview or correct at your interview.  Either is ok.

The DS - 160 is not different by embassy. It is all the same. The exception is the questions change as you go along and answer them so the questions may be specific to that embassy that you have your interview in.

At least you are well on your way to the NOA2 then!

Still waiting here as well. Just sent in our additional evidence as requested per RFE. 

Thank you so much! We are sooo happy and excited!

heck of a memory there!
