For my k1 visa application, I had scheduled VAC appointment and interview in August 2023 with DS 160 number AA01, which I cancelled in advance.

I had my biometrics on 6th September 2023 and interview on 20th September 2023. Ds160 application submitted for these appointments was AA02.

I got a call on 20th September 2023 from Mumbai Consulate to send the old DS160 with number AA01 confirmation page.

Previously,

I can see in the ceac website old DS160 application AA01 is Approved and new application AA02 is still in Received status.

Will there be any issues because of this on my visa or port of entry? Both DS 160s are mostly same.

I got my packet 4 instructions on 24th August 2023

I have been waiting for packet 4 instructions from Mumbai embassy for a month now. They are not responding to any queries at all.

After the change of systems in July 2023. Mumbai embassy is not responding to inquiries within specified time and not sending packet 4 instructions even a month after the case has been Ready at ceac website.

I'm not sure why that is happening. We scheduled with the hospital listed in Delhi. All they needed was a welcome letter and appointment confirmation.

So did you receive any packet 4 from Mumbai with instructions or i129f packet?

My fiancee just finished her interview at the Mumbai embassy. You have to show the Appointment letter confirmation for medical. Not the welcome letter. When you booked the biometrics and interview, it gave you a confirmation email. That email shows the dates for both, a barcode of your DS-160, and instructions of what to bring to both appointments. This is what my fiancee showed at the medical appointment.

I contacted the medical place again and they declined to schedule an appointment until I can give them instruction letter from Mumbai Consulate (packet 4 instructions) which I do not have.

So apart from welcome letter and case Ready status at ceac website. Did you receive any appointment letter, packet of instructions or your i129f packet from US consulate? My appointment confirmation is from the changed website and it has no details of medical anywhere.

Seeing your embassy is unresponsive, I'd send the doctor office the interview confirmation page so they know you have an interview scheduled at your embassy. See if they take that as a confirmation. I am not sure how Mumbai embassy works when it comes to packet 3. I'd try researching with people that already been through Mumbai to see what they did.

Ya I tried to schedule tbe medical, but they are asking for appointment letter from embassy. I got a response from the consulate that they need the appointment letter from NVC, but I already had given them the welcome letter. So I am not sure what they are asking for here now. I just gave them the welcome letter again.

My case is in Ready status from 21st July 2023 at NVC but I have received no communication from the Mumbai Embassy. I have already scheduled my Consular interview for 18th August 2023. But for medical appointment they are asking for appointment letter from Mumbai Embassy. Any suggestions on what can I do? No proper response to phone calls or messages to the embassy.
