K1NVC
Hello everyone, I hope someone can answer my question. So I’m doing the k1 visa the approved petition was sent to the NVC and they gave me the case number and inquiry number. When I logged in into CEAC it said “At NVC” but I kept reading and it said to go to another link and to read the instructions on what to do next. I went into the link and it said that all K visas have to do the DS-160 so the consulate can process the case. From what I understand we have to do the DS-160 when NVC has already sent it to the consulate. So do we have to do the DS-160 now or just wait until they send it? Thank you.

I think I heard people emailing to get their case number for the DS 160 form. Have you tried that?
M CJan 18, 2022
no I haven’t

Hey from the what I see online you have to do the ds160 before it will be sent to your embassy. Hope this helps
Jay GJan 19, 2022
oh, I thought you couldn’t fill out DS-160 until you get the case number from the embassy
M CJan 19, 2022
thank you for your comments, I’ve seen so many mixed responses, we already received notification that it’s in transit so it’s moving along, I’ll wait to receive further instructions

depends on your embassy, you can do it but for your interview your case needs to change to ready

@Maryangel C, i know it is late. but what happened and what did you do eventually?
M CMar 6, 2022
so I just did it when it was at the embassy and received instructions in my email and everything was fine, thank you
N AMar 6, 2022
congratulations! happy for you! i got the case number and invoice id number by calling nvc 5 days ago. i asked them whats next and they said you are on your own:( so i better wait till it reaches the embassy? how long did it take for nvc to send it to the embassy? thank you for your information!
M CMar 6, 2022
thank you, so when I called and got the case number 8 days later they sent me an email that they sent it to the embassy, then it took 10 days to actually get there and that’s when I filled out the ds-160.
N AMar 6, 2022

M CMar 6, 2022

@ Maryangel C, sorry to bother you again. was your case number at the NVC starts with DMS? is k1 visa an immigrant visa or non immigrant? nvc sent my case to the embassy but i got confused when i looked at my case and it was under immigrant visa and it is ready. haven't heard from the embassy yet. its been 11 days. im confused, is it a mistake by NVC?
M CMar 22, 2022
I’m not sure and my NVC case number started with MNG I’m guessing they named it that since that’s the abbreviation for the capital of where the embassy is located (Managua), and yeah even though it’s a non immigrant visa for some reason they put it as immigrant I’m not sure why. Sorry for the late response
N AMar 22, 2022
thank you so much! got it.
