Today is a big day for some as your case file may ship out to your embassy. Check CEAC for updated progress and look for "in transit"!! If that shows you are on your way. Shipments are throughout today and tomorrow so don't get discourage if your record at CEAC has not changed over to "in transit” Also, for those who want to have a little fun in tracking your shipment see the DHL hack on the first page of this thread NUMBER 19 for instructions. NOTE: The DHL hack information will not be available till Wednesday as the DHL and NVC computers must sync with each other to produce the outcome.
 
You have three stages 1) in transit - shipment is in the air or soon will be, 2) received - physical case file is at the Embassy and 3) ready - your case is ready to schedule and complete your interview.  These will be your current state or status to your case file once you have received the case number. Once your record is set to "ready" you are ready to proceed in processing your next steps as listed in your P3 for your embassy.  I have most P3 if you hit me up with a request, I will post back the links.
 
Please don't screenshot and post your CEAC status as it just clutters up the thread. We all know what it looks like. Let us know your progress as we want to celebrate with you. Good luck.

I just wanted to express how much I appreciate your support. Thank you for all your advices . 😀👍😌
I’m worry a lot about my case because of in our HCM K1 visa group have a couples wait for case ready 4 months now. They were called NVC a lot but they did not said anything about that. Actually they are worrying something happens with their case ( at her application from Dec/2017 still now , also need RFE before got the Noa2) . 
Some people got approvals before me 2 days (03/26) case ready on 04 /30. That’s why it makes me think that why only me get ready so long like that. But now I no need to worry more about that , everything let it be naturally . Anyway , thanks a lot @Greenbaum 🙏😄.

Relax. Your case is moving along and is NORMAL. There is no need to call NVC over and over about your case. Once you have your case number you are now in control and can track your case via CEAC. CEAC is pretty much going to be up to date and will change with every step. So THERE is where you need to be and not on the phone. Oy Vey!
 
Your case is currently at NVC. Next step is that they ship it out and next shipment is 5/14 and 5/15 where you will most likely be on. On 5/14 go back to CEAC and watch your status change from "at NVC" to "in transit". DON'T call NVC if you don't see your case status change as the status is updated throughout BOTH days. Again, did I happen to mention stay off the phone?  OMG relax and take a deep breath. Your case is progressing as it should.

Some have received email notification and others have not. Be patient. You'll hear something soon. Lately we have seen 3-4 weeks from USCIS to NVC and 1-2 weeks to assign the case number and then depending where you fall in the shipment cycle can be another 2 weeks. YMMV.

The DS - 160 is a document that stands alone. It does not affect anything. You can't use it to find any information about your case. You can't use it for anything other than for its original intent and that is for the CO to use during your interview to adjudicate your case. It does not need to be finished at the moment you receive your case number or to do anything else but needs to be completed for the interview and it can be completed between case number issuance to the day before your interview.
 
Here is some information including the Embassy P3 for you to get a head start
 
P3 Letter

Usually you will not receive the P3 letter in the mail. Do an online service request. They will respond typically in 2 -3 days with the instruction (P3). You will need to submit D-160 and pay the visa fee, then schedule the medical afterward. Technically, you will need the P3 to complete the medical exam, although some have gotten by with just the interview confirmation. I wouldn't risk it and would just request that they email it to you via: https://vn.usembassy...a-inquiry-form/  When using the form be sure to add in the comments section the last 4 digits of your SSN or they will email you back asking for it which causes further delays.
