    Wow.. I live just a couple hours away near Austin and didn't even know these checkpoints existed until now.

    Was about to send my I-485 and did the same as you. Glad you posted this so I could get mine fixed before sending it.

    This was the article that I was referring to that I had found just trying to do research several places that had stuck in my mind (that is apparently invalid): https://www.fickeymartinezlaw.com/immigration/k-1-fiance-visa/how-can-a-k1-visa-holder-get-a-us-social-security-card It said the following: "Specifically for K-1s, the best time to apply is about 2 weeks after entry into the US as this would allow the government “SAVE” system to be up-to-date at your SSA Visit."

    Thank you for that information. Everywhere has posted to wait 10 days to go to the SSA office, so that's good news to me. We're not planning to go to France to live and I don't need to open any accounts in her country.

    I read a blog about applying for a Family Book and getting the marriage recognized in France (the banns), but she says we aren't going to go live in France so didn't see the point in going through that process.

    Nevermind, I literally found another thread asking the same. Seems everyone's suggestion is to get the SSN first.

    My fiancee is planning to come to the US on her K1 Visa, November 20, 2023, to Texas. My plan is to go to request a marriage license before the Thanksgiving holiday closes the offices and schedule marriage at the courthouse early December. My thoughts are that we can wait to apply for a SSN after the wedding so that she can change her last name at the same time without having to go back to the SSN to do a name change. By early December, that should be enough time for her to be in the "SAVE" system (I think it's called). Does anyone see any potential problems with this logic? Thank you.

    If it says this underneath the Ready status, I would: "Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time."

    It took us exactly 91 days from NOA2 to receive a case ID through inquiry. I think that it's taking USCIS about 2 months to get the packet mailed to NVC and about a month for the cases to be created.

    The MRV fee is the fee paid by a US bank account to the embassy appointment scheduling. Mine came out to 275 USD for Paris. It asked for payment during scheduling of the appointment on the France consulate page. We were able to book an appointment when the CEAC status page showed ready and said we could, then it needs two main things: case id (yours probably starts with LDN or something) and DS-160 ID (after you fill that out and submit, it will give you a page to print with a barcode and the ID). Hope that helps.. we are going through it now just as you.

    Naples and Rio de Janeiro you all are lucky to have a lot shorter interview wait times than Paris

    Visa Status Check changed to Ready for Paris - "Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section." Even though the beneficiary hasn't received anything yet from the consular (packet 3, etc.), we went ahead and scheduled the first interview available which is the end of October. The scheduling site then let us pay the MRV fee. Beneficiary should receive her letters by then.. we are scheduling the medical appointment now and have all the paperwork we need ready to go.

    Not sure, but we went ahead and submitted our DS-160 today, which is needed to schedule an appointment in France on the applicant form. When we put the DS-160 application ID "just to see" what the interview scheduling was, it told us that they aren't ready yet to schedule an interview for our Case ID. We could not proceed further, yet.

    Hello, we are also in transit to Paris as of this morning. Hoping to schedule as soon as possible.

    Got my case number from nvc research yesterday and got the e-mail that it was being sent to consulate today. Status changed to 'In Transit'. Now I'm just trying to figure out if it's too early to submit DS-160 or wait until I have the e-mail from the consulate?
