Aw perfect. I would submit another enquiry about when are they transferring it. I did this and they sent it off. Then when it goes to in transit to ready - that’s a quick turn around 

I sent and inquiry yesterday asking if they sent it already. Next one i will ask them when. once it is in transit thats pretty much it.

CEAC 'Ready': 11/9/23

 

I'm still confused if we need to wait for packet 3 before scheduling an interview. The embassy page here on VJ says it is not necessary and at one time the Embassy had on their instagram that scheduling was available after status was "ready"! But of course when you go to schedule it has the warning about not scheduling until packet 3 is received lol...

 

how 

How did you realized they created your cas they sent you an email or when they gave you the case number that was your queue?

PKT3 is difference on each country and also the interview slot. It’s all luck after the case in your embassy hand. Just pray🙏

does ds-160 has an expiration date? do we submit it after it get to the consulate or after packet 3

Yes. So you have your number which you get when you filed the 1-129F. Mine started with WAC but depends what office it was at. Then once it’s gone to NVC they will give you another number which will have the code of the embassy at the front. It’s different for every country. 

we already has that one, the one from NVC. but it still at the nvc hopefully it will turn into in transit soon.

You need to wait until NVC have transferred it to your embassy you’re interviewing at. As soon as NVC give you another case number that is the number you will need to book your interview. 
so once it says it’s been sent. This is when you can go onto CEAC website and track it. It will go to ‘in transit’ then go to ‘ready’ when mine got to ready I had the ds160 done and booked the interview. 

Thank you, that means they give you a different case number after they get it to the embassy? they already gave me one but it still say at NVC.

Having the Case number, invoice ID and Beneficiary ID means we can schedule or create a profile for the interview? Mine still say it is at NVC

I just tried to do an inquiry online and it said it couldn't find my record - however, I found a helpful area on the NVC website stating that they are currently working on petitions that were sent to them on October 26th, so I have a little while to wait as it seems they're a bit behind on their dates. Thanks for the info! 

It has not gotten into the NVC yet, did you do a public inquiry?

One more question  When you scheduled your interview, how far out (time-wise) were they scheduling? Were you able to get in fairly quick? Thanks so much! 

Great question

I got the NOA2 notification and we just got onto it fast. The first enquiry it hadn’t been put into the system yet, but on the second it had been and got my case number. (This was like two days) my lawyer then submitted one, and had the case number through again and the next one I did was the case was transferred to London. Once it got transferred and I got the email to stay it was we was able to sort out the ds160 and the medical and interview. 

what day exactly was it in transit to london or transfered to london, to see if it was done on a shipping date.

Do you have to call yourself to schedule the medical exam and interview or does NVC make the arrangements for you?

you have to wait until it gets to the embassy i think

Oh really? even so soon?  I just got my NOA2 about 2 days ago so I wasn't sure when it would be appropriate to start inquiring! thanks!! 

i tried inquiring then two or three day after and they told me they have not receive it from USCIS, but try yours might of arrived.

Hi, I just got my NOA2 on 11/7. How long should I wait until I submit an inquiry about receiving the email from NVC?  I believe you had said you did it after two weeks of receiving your NOA2? 

Yes two weeks after the date on the NOA2 approval letter, it might be different than the date on the online status

no you can also put a inquiry if your case is outside the normal processing time, try to put one even if it does not goes through but they will notice it.

wait 1 more day you may get lucky. if not next batch for sure.

I'm actually get on the plane tonight to Viet Nam ( this trip was booked months ago ) same day for NVC and the trip WOW.😍

I already have the DS-160 done , when I get there on the 9th I will submit that and waiting for the pkt3.

in my country they want you to submit the info as the case been transfer, I can't pay for the visa fee or book the interview or schedule medical exam until I received the PKT3 from the consulate.

How was your trip? it might be a different time One there, I did not get lucky for this batch time.

Hello! I have a naive question!

 

I got the letter that the National Visa Center (NVC) received my approved I-129F petition from U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) on October 24th, 2023.

The NVC will now forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy in London. Please note that the transfer process can take several weeks. The U.S. Embassy will contact your fiancé when they are ready to process the petition.

 

Am I correct now that I am waiting next for a letter from the US Embassy in London with an interview date scheduled and that it may take 7 weeks?

They will forward it when they finish their process, check for your status at the CEAC website and it needs to say ready then you wait for the embassy will send you instructions
