Hi! I’m currently struggling with this same issue. I was looking for a solution and saw your post. May I ask how you were able to solve this? I’m stressing. Thank you!

Hi, I sent an email to the address ("U.S. Visa Information Service (Canada Yatri)" <canada_contactus@visaops.net>) and explained my problem with screen shots of the process and issue. They got back to me in a few days. After a few back and forth, the account was set to pay the fees. Also make sure you selected "immigrant visa" as the choice on the Official U.S. Department of State Visa Appointment Service | English (usvisa-info.com)

Also see the Visa Application Payment Issues email in the Contact section of the ais service: Contact Us | Official U.S. Department of State Visa Appointment Service | Canada | English (usvisa-info.com); 

Best wishes.

Hey Thanks for sharing and I am glad it got sorted out and that the package got shipped. Must be a big relief knowing what’s happening!  Best wishes for the move. 

Mine changed to issued on Feb 3 morning I think. 

No. Mailing by Canada Post or if you paid for premium courier service Is taken care of by the embassy. So I opted for the free delivery to the post office location in Montreal for me to pick up. It was mailed out through Canada Post’s Xpresspost service. It got delivered to the post office location within one business day of pick up from embassy. Of course if you opted for premium courier Setvice, it would get delivered by courier to your address or chosen courier location

Hi @svklt, I noticed you and I had the same interview date. My CEAC is shown as Issued since Thursday but I still have no tracking info on ais.usvisa-info.com. It just says "Current Status: Appointment". Did they ship your visa to you? Did they send an e-mail? Thanks in advance.

Mine changed to issued on Feb 3 as well in the morning.

Hi DE CS, I got an email from usvisa-info with the tracking number soon after my ceac changed to issued. At the end of business day, I got a message from Canada Post, my courier option, that the package was picked up with the tracking number. I would call or send email to usvisa-info asking them for the tracking number. the following is the content of email I got from usvisa-info.

Hi, yes I have gotten the problem resolved. Thanks for checking in. Best wishes. 

Hi, my appointment letter for Montreal says "K (fiancé/e) visas: Must pay before arriving at Consulate.  See https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ca/niv/information/fee for more information. (Please bring a copy of your MRV fee payment.) ". There is the fees that must be paid on the link, But I don't see any further info or link on where to pay.  Any one knows?  Did people pay at the embassy on the day of interview? Please help. Thanks.

Hi in most cases you won’t receive the packet 3 in your mail just go ahead and complete the ds form online as long as you have your new case number for your nvc 

Thanks Menya

Hello all, I have a case and invoice number from NVC for my K1 application. However, we didn't receive a letter and had to call to get it. The NVC site indicates the application is "At NVC" and that a DS-160 must be completed in order for a consular section to process the case. So, should I go ahead and complete the DS-160 or do I need to wait until I get Packet 3 from Montreal embassy?

Thanks for you replies.  

Non-immigrant tourist visas, I believe, are not a priority for embassies now. Check to see if the Belgrade embassy will process a tourist visa at this time. 

Thanks for the clarification.

Hello all,  I noticed that the I-797 has an expiration date of 4 months (expires July 20, 2021). What does that mean? Do I have to get my interview and visa before it expires? What if I don't get an interview date before then? Any insights are much appreciated. Thanks.

I would first check to see if the Nigeria high commission in the applicants place of residence will accept application for a police certificate. If they do, then you just have to submit the required documents to the high commission. Several high commissions do this for their citizens and foreign nationals who have previously resided in the country.

Another way is to see if the applicant still has friends in the Nigeria. For some countries, you can send the necessary documents to the friend, and the friend will submit the documents on the applicants behalf, pick up the report when ready and send it to the applicant by courier or other means. You got to check if the country police department allows this.

I have usually put my middle name as part of my given name if only a first (given names) and surname boxes are provided. I do this for any forms where I want to show my full name. I haven't filled out a DS-160 however.
