Case is approved, awiting NOA2

Congratulations...we share the same timeline

Congrats VS&BD on getting the approval...
Siggy & VS- I wonder if there is a whatsapp group for Mumbai consulate K1 filers...do you know?

Idk....🤔

Haha funny you should ask, I was browsing the forums and apparently there is a telegram group for Indian visas, but everyone there was for spousal visa. I even joined and asked, but they confirmed it was all for spouse visa.

We could create our own if you guys are down

are either of you down for a telegram group?

Yes we can.... lets PM

Yes good idea.. let’s do it

Guys..I tried to search our group discussion..
Guess what..we got our case number...

Siggy, Congratulations!
Side note- I hope Mumbai consulate is still conducting visa interviews

Yes..they are. Till now it's fine...
Have you got any information?

How do they send you the number? via mail? When I called this rude lady said it takes 6 weeks. I'm a bit nervous now

Just got my case number

Phew...good

Congratulations!

Any of your finances are getting ready for PCC.?..
I am thinking to get over with it.. may apply on Monday...

Oops.. TYPO

thanks guys, yeah will start with all that. I got all my bank docs ready so that I can prove financial stability and have finished DS-160. We only need the PCC and medical right?

Yes..PCC can be done anytime (present condition is not favorable)
Medical can be done only after booking the interview coz they ask for confirmation +packet 4

I got the PCC done two days ago

I'm still waiting for cops to come n do the verification. Since my passport address is different than the present.

My PCC is still on hold, everything is closed in Gujarat

I hope you have all received email from NVC about shipping (from NVC to embassy); my fiance got one..

Yes I got that email. Thanks Siggy. So what’s the next step? What can we do while waiting? Fill out the ds-160 and have the payments done?

We have filled DS160 and we are waiting for the payment part.. payment reciept is valid for one year..

I see; so I guess the DS160 will be saved in the profile and you won’t have to fill it again while doing the payment ? Thanks

Yeah I got the email as well, we are finishing up DS 160 this evening.

@vabsmith DS160 doesn't have any fees.. but once you submit the DS 160 you will the number to make a visa payment (which is different website). Go to the usultradocs website..you will know everything.

hey guys congrats my case also left the NVC. are you guys gonna done with the payment part pr gonna wait for packet 4?

Hey all, status updated to ready :) Just need to wait for the covid 19 stuff to finish before we can move to medical and interview.

Yup,
We lit the Diya today to shoo away the virus..

@siggy thanks; let me check the ultradocs website

Hey what's this ultradocs website?

Ultadocs where you create profile to book the interview.

has anybody tried to make an account in ustraveldocs?

Yes, we did.. it's easy and simple. If you google ultra doc Mumbai..you will see all the details you need.. and if you face any difficulties you can ask for help.

it is saying that your request can not be processed this time/.

I wonder if they would do visa interviews over video... they should and it would help so much

Congratulations! And also best wishes for the future

anyone get their packets in the mail? I haven't heard anything with the shutdown...

No mail/email..
We are discussing when to email them. I am sure we all have same expiry date.and I dont see any light at the end of tunnel not even tunnel 🙂

Shit these approvals expire? I just learned that they opened up spousal visas for now, no word on K1 :(

Where you got that news??

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-suspending-entry-immigrants-present-risk-u-s-labor-market-economic-recovery-following-covid-19-outbreak/
Says something about these suspension do not apply to Spouses of US Citizens. Mind you http://cdn.ustraveldocs.com/in/ still says that they have shut down all document delivery centers and consulates till further notice, so maybe its open for other countries ðŸ’

Yup,this news is for everyone.
This has not effect on us. They stopped giving green cards for 60 days but not on issuing the visas(anyway embassies are closed) so basically sit and do wait for the doors to openðŸ™

Yeah, besides the DS-160, what else is left we can do while we wait
1) PCC, office is closed
2) Medical, going to a hospital in the current lockdown without an interview date is not advisable
anything else?

You said it all...

Anyone contacted Mumbai consulate to see if they have any plan for opening up the interviews?

Tried calling last night, no response

Hello all,
I hope you all are doing good.
I am in same path you guys are our visa just got approved and waiting for NVC to send further details, in mean time I was working on I134 assuming that is what I need to fill out for India.
I am stuck in Part 3, question 38 on supporting where it is asking I Intent to or do not intent to..
can you please help me with this question?

Hey, I just called US Embassy Mumbai last night and they said they have resumed Pending K1 visa applications they have received before the lock down..If you dont mind sharing, have you received anything? Asking because we are still stuck at NVC and not getting any proper answers...

We haven't recieved anything yet..they have recieved our files after lockdown. Will let you know . They start shipping from nvc as soon they clear backlogs ( read on different websites)

Thank you for an update.... Wish you the best!!!!!

@Shahjah887- That's great that you were able to talk to Mumbai embassy... Did they mean to say that for those cases that they have received the applications before lock-down they will reach out to the applicants by email or by packet 4 mail?

Hi, No they did not said anything and the next time I called they said they did not resumed any k1 but have started the Spouse visa. I guess K1 visas are not that important.....

Hi, have you got any update from Embassy? are they going to resume the process anytime soon? we should file a petition if there is no update...what do you think?

Not yet.. how many people do you know waiting for k1?

I heard from group chat someone with 221g whose case Mumbai resumed recently.

221g Cr1 and h1b have resumed..not sure about other visas

I do not know many people from India who is waiting...but it is not right.. they have resumed spouse, however K1 visas are the same (future spouse).

True... really doesn't make sense. Let's see.

Hey friend, have you heard anything from the embassy yet?

Hi, have you heard back anything from the Embassy?

Good luck VS &BD for your interview today,
God bless you !

Thank you all for the wonderful wishes, we got approved!!!
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
