thanks to everyone, especially @Greenbaum , @ns7 and @ujones for helping with my questions & concerns

1. Email them.  I am trying to get a good phone number for them to sort my issues mentioned above.
2. You can give her Interview Appointment letter once you schedule Interview on USTravelDocs. I don't necessarily need Packet 4 from them,, it is just I don't know why they keep saying they don't have physical file yet only electronic.
3. Police Certificate: Yes, get asap
The advice on this forum that I got is: You can fill Ds-160 and schedule appointment once the case is "ready"

If you want to snag it out I think you should be pretty safe with 2/15. From others, what are there timelines showing. Is it a safe bet?

When you schedule your interview appointment then print off the appointment confirmation page and that now becomes your "original appointment letter". Read the links I posted a few posts above. And also, start from the beginning of this thread and take your time reading. You will have a better insight on what to do and when since others have shared their experience.
 
 

My mistake. I forget that's it is also found on the NOA2. THANKS

Hello Friend! check the website and it says in transit, and a couple of hours ago I got a message to my email from the NVC with an official letter and instructions !! blessings and good luck! 🎉❤️🙏

K1 process is simple with lil bit variation when it comes to embassies. There is a lot of content online on the whole K1 process. VJ is one of the sources. U will find many forums, blogs, and even YouTube videos online. Also, ppl here on VJ are kind enough to help each other. They share their experience and also provide tips and tricks from that personal experience. However, u need to have lot of patience and time to research and find out answers for ur questions.
 
Now it's up to you if u have that much time and patience for doing the research. If u have then do the process by urself and save ur money but if not then u can opt for professional help.
 
All the best.

You can do this process on your own. Most here are doing their visa themselves. There are a lot of tools and many of us here can help or direct you to the source for you to read and ask questions. There is small contingent of Indian's that have a thread where they are helping each other. I'll post the link below and you can read over their information and it may shed some light on how easy this is to do for yourself. We are here to help so ask your questions.
 
Here is a topic in another forum where those from the Mumbai Consulate are applying with good information.

This is so exciting. I just check and it says this. After is at the NVC.. How long it will take to send it to my country?  And after this it will say in transit right? Ahhh haha so happy and didn't even call. For those who are still waiting send messages and they will surprise you with good news  and thank you so much @Greenbaum for all your tips in the first page. Didn't know any of that. Thank youuuuuuuuuu😀😀😀😀

I just figured out how this works with DHL. Pretty Cool!  🙏

The instructions are accurate but for the city/country. The instructions say the selection is for the "city" but the country should be selected. Now if you have experienced something else, I would welcome your input but many others have found this to work for them.

I called NVC this morning and they received our filed (NOA2 November 30). I called Friday and they didn't have it yet. The lady told me to call back later this week for the case # because it doesn't take that long. I was surprised I didn't get the 4-8 week response.

The default name usage should be the one that is on your birth certificate and of course that should be the same for your passport. That is what you use for each document and or form. If something is not right and does not follow that pattern then you need to contact the entity that is making the mistake to fix it or you will have additional problems "down the road".

There you have it. Worked as posted and since you called at 8:50pm PST which is 11:50pm EST you just came in under the 12 midnight closing as advertised.

Good time to call, that was 10 minutes before they closed  

Case # received! Called NVC! 

Welcome. We won't charge you for the extra month as we have a special buy one and get one free.
 
Here is an early Xmas present which is preparation information for your upcoming interview.
 
You can't hurry it along at all. You have to wait for P3 which takes 2-4 weeks from Ready. Comply with what they ask for in P3 (the actually one they send you) by sending them a copy of the signed P3 checklist, your DS160 confirmation and your Passport Bio. Then they send you P4. Then they tell you to register to schedule and you'll wait some more for interviews to open up, which only happens once a month during the last week of the month for two months ahead UNLESS you are lucky and you scoop up a cancellation. Get your medical appointment first so you can schedule the interview shortly afterwards.
 
Packet 3: https://ca.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2016/07/Packet3Instructions-K1.pdf  And Packet 4 for reference also: https://ca.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2016/03/Packet4-MTL.pdf
 
For all things dealing with the US Consulate in Canada head on over to the subforum for Canada where they will answer your questions for the processing of your visa from their personal experience. Link:

Get the Canadian K1 P3 letter at http://photos.state.gov/libraries/canada/303578/montreal/Packet3-K1-MTL.pdf as this is your bible needed to complete and receive your visa. The required documents are included and use the P3 as a check list. Once you have completed or gathered the required documents you'll be ready for your interview. If it is not on the Embassy letter, it probably is not needed.
 
Last but not least, READ the pages on the US Embassy website for you country so that you are up to speed.

Old site (also the data source for all 'USCIS case tracker' apps): https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do
New : https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/ (you have to create an account and add your case # to it)
Neither is more reliable (and it's very possible you won't see anything on either, and will have to just wait for the physical mail). For a while it looked like they were phasing out the "old" site, but that trend seems to have reversed itself and there are still lots of cases that show up on only one (or much earlier on one than the other).

Congratulations to you.

I got approved! 😂
 
I will be researching on the forums/website for next steps and how I can hopefully save some time in next steps.
 
PS: I didn't receive an email.  I recommend using "Case Tracker" App on Android (and USCIS for IOS??), and it will show alert when you are approved.
