The process in India is messed up with huge wait time for interview. Mumbai processes all K1 visa applications in India.

It looks like you are in the processing stage of I-129 and you are from Philippines. How do you have knowledge of the entire process for India?

Thanks. We do have the case number and I used that number to check the status on NVC which says its ready.

Thank you for your post. Big relief for us! What is the wait time to get an appointment if we fill out DS-160 today? (We were very sad yesterday when the lawyer told us about 1 year wait time.)

My fiance's I-129F was approved by USCIS on Feb 29, 2024 and her status on NVC got "ready" on April 4. Our attorney (from the SF Bay area) who filed the case tells us that we have to wait one year for the welcome package via snail mail. However, it seems from the forum that people are getting DS-160 filled as soon as the status becomes ready on NVC. I wanted to check if we should fill the DS-160 and get an appointment asap without waiting for the welcome letter. What would be the wait time to get an interview appointment at Mumbai? Can one interview without the arrival of the welcome package? If not, how long would it take to receive the welcome package? Is there any Whatsapp group that I can join to discuss these questions? Thank you in advance, Ksen
