Congrats! your getting closer. Im sure it will be before xmas. For us we submitted the DS-160's after petition was sent NVC. Then once the embassy receives it we will pay the embassy fees. You can do the I-134 anytime as long as your beneficiary has it before the interview. This is for the Philippines though. Not sure if the process is the same for Mexico. 

Thank you so much for your reply. I appreciate it. I've heard of a lot of people who prefer to wait to do these things until they are READY, but I'm pretty lost on the times. Does your embassy currently have backlog for interview scheduling like Mexico does? When do you think you'll have your visa in hand?

@Jon & Pau What makes you think it will be as long as Christmas?  My NOA2 date was on April 17, so I believe I am just a few days behind you.  Do you not think getting your fiance here in September or October is possible?

Hello! Something to consider is that after your case is shipped to the consulate/embassy, the times will vary according to the backlog and processing times there. 

Something else to consider is that I NEVER would have expected for the NVC to take 3 months to receive and create cases. Pretty crazy! I also know it takes even more time for the case to be sent to the consulate/embassy, then more time for the interview to be scheduled, then more time for the actual interview. 

Since my case will go to Mexico, and I believe there's a bit of backlog there, I'm assuming it can take 3 months to receive a scheduled interview after being on Ready. I'm hoping that I'll have my visa by November, but even then, I can't exactly predict when and it could end up being January. 

Hello, friends. Through inquiry, we have finally received our NVC case number after 90 days since NOA2. I've no idea how much longer the wait it will be for our case to be sent to the embassy in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. But hopefully, I'll be with my fiancé by Christmas. 

Anybody know when they'll ask for us to pay the fees and submit the forms and documents? What should we be doing right now? 

Received NOA2 April 14th, 2022. Let's pray it's not too long now

Hello. I hope the times get better as the days go by.
