You will receive a welcome letter from NVC. It can take anywhere from 15-90 days. The letter is a sign that your case has been sent to your embassy. Most embassies don’t send a letter. Once you receive the letter from NVC, you can start the actual process: do the DS-160, pay the fiancé visa, schedule your interview, and schedule your medical exam (1 week before the interview).

thank you Jessica

are you from Nigeria

i just got an email from NVC and the case was forwarded to the embassy and that the embassy will send us the letter needed to fill out the DS160 form and it will have the interview date as well

I don’t think the embassy will send you anything to fill ds160

At this stage, it is important to know that each embassy has different steps. I would suggest joining a group specific to Lagos embassy. I am part of a group and while they are majority spouses, there are some K1s who are waiting on interviews. If you have FB, then you can join to see more timeline info. I do know that the Nigerian embassy does send a welcome letter with instructions. I would also suggest that you begin filling out the DS160 and gathering necessary documents. It is a lengthy form and you can start it and save it without submitting. https://www.facebook.com/groups/685814728993483/?ref=share
