When I check the case status on https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx, I get IN TRANSIT and then:  Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center.

Actually ours works differently than the others. We have to book medical first then once we get results we submit a notice of readiness so the embassy can schedule us for an interview. You better book your medical now because its all packed up. My case was ready since May 3 but can’t proceed since my medical is June!

Received the email from NVC today, but still no change on what the USCIS case status says (still "Case Received"). Anything to worry about there? Also, do I wait for the embassy to contact me regarding the interview now, and go from there?

Did they give you your case number? You can book your medical now actually. The embassy will email your petitioner about the instructions on how to proceed once they receive the petition from NVC.

Hi everyone. Just very confused about original and scanned copies we can bring for the interview.

Regarding the documents that need wet signature- letter of intent to marry, i129f, i134. Do we need to bring the original documents with a wet signature or a scanned copy with signature is okay for the interview?

I had my interview at the London Embassy yesterday and with great pleasure I can say that the visa got approved!!!! The process was super smooth and efficient.

It has been a long journey, but all worth it! We're so happy and we're getting ready for our new beginning finally 🙂

 

I wish all the best to the rest of you and to meet your loved ones very soon 😀

Congratulations!!!!

Hello, all! Do any of you happen to have a blank copy of the previous version of the I-134 (edition 02/13/2019)?

Oh thanks 

do you send them anything or just gather the said documents and present them when you go for the interview 

I prepared all the needed documents for interview. Waiting for the medical now, once I get the results, I send them the Notice of Readiness then they can book me for an interview. Did you get your case number yet?

What do you send out in the P3.. do you fill a form and send out or just send them the documents you have 

Hi Rhines! This is our packet. I don't know how to attach a pdf file to share but this is what they've sent us:

Oh... they really are testing our patience lol. Are you able to schedule your interview date knowing you have your medical date? 

 

Things kind of flew and I wasn't emotionally ready for lol 

We didn't get our p3 by email (even I gave them our emails), so it got delayed (mail sent may 4, and we only received it may 9 by postal mail). But I sent it out yesterday, and got p4 today lol and scheduled my medical and interview. However, they are busy too and I might not get the medical result on time for the interview, so it might delay the approval. I hope that's the only issue and things will go smoothly for you guys! 

 

 

Wow, the processes really are different in each embassy.

Unfortunately, they want us to have the medical results on hand then submit the "Notice of Readiness" before they can schedule us an interview. They might schedule you in a week's time so if you haven't got your medical results yet, you will be much more delayed waiting for another date. I'm not quite sure but they said not to risk it.

What is inside packet 4? That's great that you're the ones booking your interviews though. At least you'll have an estimate date on when you can enter the US. If you show up in the interview without the medical results, would they still interview you but submit the 221g for the medical results?

Honestly have no clue, but it's been two weeks so why haven't they gotten this physical document they speak of? 

Just this morning I received the official NVC letter. Maybe that's what they meant? I'm not sure either.

13 minutes ago, I129f49619 said:

Damn that's rough!! Did you guys get the Email to schedule the appointment? Or a physical packet?

Yes, we got the packet but thru email, its a pdf file. It says we have to book and complete the medical and once we get the result we have to email the embassy to let them know so they can book our interview. But the month's waiting for the medical, it's kinda long wait.. We were hoping to celebrate fourth of July together but I don't think it's happening. 

Hi, how is everyone doing? Just an update. Our case has been ready since May 3 but we can't do anything yet since the next step is to complete the medical. Only one hospital does the medical here and its packed up. Our is not until June 9. I'm not complaining, we've gone this far T_T

My fiancée emailed the embassy and this is the response she got. I wasn't aware there was an electronic file. 

 

Dear Ms. Nisha Roy, 

Thank you for your inquiry. We have only received your case electronically at our Mumbai Post. However, we are still awaiting the physical file. We will get in touch with you, once we are in receipt of the physical file. 

Are they waiting for the official NVC letter? Like the physical paper?

Im having a nightmare Filling out the new I-134 Form

Who is the beneficiary ?

The petitioner is the US citizen so the partner is the beneficiary.

Received our NVC case number yesterday.  Just trying to understand the next and most important steps, and what if anything can be done before the Embassy gets the application

Thanks

Thanks

I'm afraid each embassy process is different. While waiting for your case to be sent to your embassy, fill out your ds160, complete the i134, police certs and other requirements needed for the interview. Maybe you can also book your medical since they only require the case number. But as I said, it depends on your embassy. Maybe try reading on your country portal to see how the process goes after receiving the case number?

Our case is Ready. However, I haven’t received any email from the embassy yet. How long does it usually take before the embassy emails you with the instructions? I have done the DS160 though I haven’t paid anything yet. And I also have booked the medical already but the earliest available appointment is still on June 9. 
 

Disregard my question. My fiancé received the email instructions from the embassy. I just thought I was the one receiving it.

I filled out the i134 before they updated the form. It cost me $104 to ship it to my fiance. Does that mean I have to fill out a new one? 

Wow! That’s quite expensive! I was thinking of printing and filling it out myself and have my fiancé fill out the page where his sign is needed then have it scanned then I’ll print it out. To answer your question, according to the USCIS site:

 “The edition date is 4/25/2022. You can use the old form till June 27, 2022, but best to use the new form for those of you who are still waiting for the consulate interview.”

If your interview is before June 27, 2022, I think the old form should be okay. However of it’s after that date, I think you’ll have to use the updated one.

These new Items or Questions on the I-134 (Edition Date: 4/25/2022) provide extra data so the consulate can determine the risks of the petitioner and beneficiary becoming dependent on government assistance. Good Luck!!!

Makes sense!! Thank you for taking the time to explain. 🙏🏼

Yes, the new I-134 (Edition Date 4/25/2022) is very confusing.

Item 17 can be interpreted as a more detailed version of the old Question 38? 

https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/622135-i-134-question-38-contributions/

But now, you have to list or itemize specific income contributions to the beneficiary and dependents?

 

The descriptions on the form I134 itself "Provide information about the beneficiary's income and assets" and "Income contribution to the beneficiary annually" doesn't seem to be very clear?

 

I can see this being a big forum discussion or the source of many confusions.

 

I got confused with this part too! If I’m the beneficiary, does that mean I have to list my present annual income? But then I will have no job once I arrive in the US. And also with the assets, if I own a property should I also have them listed and bring the proof during the interview? T.T Honestly the old form is much simpler than the new one though. Can someone enlighten us on how to properly fill this out..

What is this packet everybody keeps talking about? Please enlighten me 😊😊😊

I thinks its the email from the embassy on how to proceed then. To book the medical and interview or pay for fees and what to bring on the interview.

“Starting June 27, 2022, we will only accept the 04/25/22 edition. Until then, you can use the 02/13/19 edition. You can find the edition date at the bottom of the page on the form and instructions.”

Mine three! lol I wonder how long it will take because I have to go back to Canada 

Probably 2-3 days?

That looks like good news.

 

So that means some embassies schedule the interview and not you?

In Ireland yup. As soon as you get your case number you can book yourself medical. And when you get the result you submit to them what they call the notification of readiness and only then they’ll schedule your interview.

Good morning guys, I have better news today. Does anyone knows what to do now ??

 

Depends on embassy, but you can start filling out DS160 and schedule your medical or interview. It probably should be ready in 2 or 3 days.

Greetings and best wishes to all,

We just had our interview, and was approved!!! See our Timeline.

Looking back at my June 2021 post predicting our interview date to be mid-April 2022, we were actually fairly accurate thanks to the Visajourney stats pages.

https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/758635-march-2021-k1-i-129f-filers/?do=findComment&comment=10475467

Our NOA2 took longer than expected, but that was made up with a reduced NVC processing time. But the interview date prediction was fairly accurate.

 

So to those who have not filled out your Timeline, please complete it so that your data helps Visajourney improve the stats pages.
