So exciting. Good luck to you. Make sure that the beneficiary has all of the required documents at the interview!!

@phi phi i have a question for you?

Which Consulate?

@Jessica V thank you ❤️

@Suresh Singh Phnom Penh Cambodia

@phi phi where do you see case ready? Although I received letter from embassy in a brown packet today.

@Jessica V are we supposed to get more packages from embassy or nvc?

@A P You should receive the welcome letter from NVC. You can receive a package from the embassy, but it’s just saying your next steps. You check the status of your case on the ceac website at ceac.state.gov

@Jessica V we already received postal letter from embassy today.

@Jessica V my case has been ready since 2 weeks ago

@A P you can now complete the DS-160, pay the visa fee, schedule your interview and schedule your medical (one week before your embassy appt).

@Jessica V ds160 is complete. Will the letter that we received have interview date or should we pay fees and schedule interview?

@A P No, you have to pay the fees and schedule the interview yourself. Go to your embassy’s website. Create the profile and pay the visa fee, then schedule your interview.

Once you’ve scheduled the interview, look on your embassy website for medical doctors that you can attend for the medical exam. Then, schedule the appt with them for a week before your interview date.

@Jessica V got it. thank you. would I require to have a copy of i129 documents submitted for the interview?

@A P What do you mean? Everything that is required of you for the interview will be taken to the actual interview. You do not submit any documents online.

@Jessica V sorry didn't mean submit documents online. I meant physically have it with me for the interview

@A P Yes, you need to take evidence to the interview. Everything will be taken. DS-160 confirmation page, police clearance, NVC welcome letter, K-1 USCIS approval letter, etc.

@Jessica V thank you! I'm getting ready with those docs now.

@A P Sounds good. Make sure to check with your embassy about what documents you need to take for the interview.

@Jessica V yep. we have list here on the site but I was curious to know if we need to take letters and documents which we had submitted to i129 application.

@A P Yes, you need to submit all of that evidence (plane tickets, money transfers, documents, etc). You also want to take new evidence to the interview. So, if you have seen your fiancé since you applied for the fiancé visa (new plane tickets, pictures, chat logs, etc).

@Jessica V I have plenty of photos from recent visit. How to take so much chat logs...there is tons of messages

@A P Yeah, you can attach photos from recent visit. Recent airline tickets. You can add video and chat log. For the logs, you can add the most recent ones. That way, they can prove that you two have been in contact lately and that your relationship is real.

@Jessica V what do mean add video and chat logs? where should it be added 🤔 I have to physically print logs and photos right for the interview

@A P The recent video call and chat logs is your evidence. Yes, you will be adding them for your interview.

@Jessica V how do I add them? I'm taking paper documents to the interview

@A P Yes, you are going to take paper documents. You are going to screenshot your most recent video call and chat logs. Print them and add them to your evidence that will be used in your interview.

@Jessica V yes I'm taking screenshots for sure. It will be a suitcase full of documents 🙂

@A P Sounds good. Make sure that you have everything that the embassy is requesting of you. Do not forget to pay the visa fee and schedule your interview. Then, schedule your medical exam in the doctor that your embassy allows. Schedule your appt at least 7 days before your interview.

@Jessica V I will do all that this week. thank you!

@A P No problem. Let me know if you need any more help!

@Jessica V will do!

@Jessica V I filled the ds160 then under non immigrant visa, there is no k category but under immigrant visa there is k1 visa category.

@A P Select the K-1 visa category. It is weird, but before the interview, it’s considered immigrant visa.

@Jessica V okay just wanted to confirm. I guess I'm in the right spot then. immigrant visa then k1. thank you!

@A P No problem.

@A P you can check here https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=IV

ours was sent to cuidad juraez embassy June 6th filled out ds 160 but won't allow us to pay yet it's been 7 weeks and nothing yet...I heard someone wanted 5 months from approval

@A P can u help us...ours was sent to cuidad juraez on June 6th 2023 we filles ds 160 but doesn't allow us to pay visa or move forward...it's been 7 weeks and no mail yet from embassy I have emailed them and no response yet.....please help I am so worries...I am here in mexico with fiancé...what do I do next!

@A P No word from embassy and ds 160 we filled but cabt pay it wont sllow us

@Jackie B. after you fill the ds-160, you have to go to ustraveldocs and select your location and fill the form and details there but before that go to ceac.state.gov to check the status of your case. it has to be ready status. is there a embassy in cuidad juraez?

@Jackie B. After it will be ready it takes about 2 weeks to receive a postal mail to your beneficiary's address. once you have this mail, pay the fees and book your appointment at ustraveldocs.

@A P it is in ready status but still won't allow us to procede. I have hired an agencia who fill them out and they jave emailed embassy she said we may be more ahead of embassy and that embassy is probablt not ready

@Jackie B. your timeline is more or less like mine. You should have gotten the letter from embassy already. if it's not your city embassy, there will one embassy in your country which will be processing family k1 and iv visa.

How did u receive the welcome letter? By mail or email?
