First you want to complete the DS-160 and NOT the DS-260.

 

I believe that you can pay your interview fee and schedule your interview before your record is set to "Ready" at your embassy. If you make the attempt and either of two things will happen 1) the website will not let you or the 2) is once you schedule it and the Embassy didn't like what you did, then they will cancel it and inform you with a "slap on the hands". No big deal. The man who owns the gold makes the rules.

 

Once you get confirmation to your interview date, print of a couple of screen shots as you may need one to get you into the medical. I have no idea if any of this works for Barbados but it does work for the Philippines. Get back to me with what happens. Would like to add that to my Barbados notes so when the next persons ask I can inform them.

Will do. My research so far has had answers all over the place lol. So would love to support providing clearer guidance for future filers.

Good afternoon JDWright and thank you for this update. I just received Packet 3 from them via email and have uploaded it for anyone else -- I want to ask if you'd please consider uploading Packet 4 here on the forum as well?

Does BGN send stuff via DHL? They said they sent it via international snail mail. I thought it was all supposed to be overnighted from the embassy...

Also, do you know whether they give us an appointment date or whether we go on this website to register and pay and schedule an interview? https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-bb/niv

The packet 3 stuff says that when we sign/date/send back pages 1-3 of the letter that then they'll send us an interview date but it says nothing about recieving packet 4 o4 paying the $265.

Please advise me because they are not answering our emails and there's a lot riding on getting this information.

Thanks in advance,

Lesa

Thank you!

@Greenbaum Do I have to wait for my NVC status to say "Ready" before scheduling the interview? Or is it okay to schedule now, even though the status is "At NVC"?

Send an email to the Embassy and ask for the Packet 3 letter that lists all the documents and steps for the interview. They will email you the P3 letter. Once you get that then send me a copy as I usually have them to share with each embassy but I don't have yours. Thanks.

Hi Greenbaum, thanks so much! Please find the P3 Letter attached. Thank you so so much for all of your help. I'm going to go in to try to complete the DS-260 and schedule my interview now.

After you have your NVC case number and Invoice ID number, then what?

Do I have to wait for an email or mailing before I can complete the DS-160, pay the Embassy fee, and schedule the interview? Basically, when can I schedule my interview? haha

Any help is greatly appreciated!

did you call in or get an email ?

@John951 I called in. They said there’s pretty much nothing to do now until my case gets to the Embassy.

Did they receive it at least? If so, i’d say next week should be there. 

Reminder that cases MIGHT be sent out 10/30-11/01. So don’t stress if it’s without case number yet, or hasn’t been received. 

Yeah, they did say they received it at least. They received it on Thursday, October 18th. And okay, cool...I'm really hoping for a mid-November interview *fingers crossed*

Call Tomorrow morning or evening and You should get your case number as well. Congratz!

@PaulMac Just checked and still no case number. Hopefully Monday?

Just called and NVC received my case today 😊😁. They said I'd need to call back still, though, for my NVC case number.

NOA1 -- March 9th

NOA2 -- October 3rd

Arrived at NVC -- October 18th

Congrats everyone! We received our NOA2 approval on 10/3. 

Does anyone happen to have any resources / access to P3 instructions for Barbados?
