so our case was done at nvc and sent to the embassy two weeks ago, later,we called Nairobi embassy and they told to wait they will contact us with the next steps! until now we have not heard anything from them, can I must go forward and pay the visa application fee and schedule my medical and then wait for them to contact so that we make the interview appointment online?

we've been waiting way too long!

please advice

Hi me & her,

Its a shame that the consulate is taking too long to get in touch with you I after NVC. Just hand in there, you have come a long way.

You can go ahead and pay the fees and do the medicals you can at this point. But you will have to get the medical forms filled by an approved physician once you get the go ahead from the consulate.

Its a matter of patience I guess but you can call them as a reminder.

Wish you all the best!

Regards

Ours was processed by the NVC and sent to the Kenyan embassy on Wednesday last week. I have been checking the visa status link and it states that it (petition) is in transit to the consulate. I therefore think that it is worth checking to see whether they have received yours. Here is the link:

Please let me know what your says so that I can if they actually update it. Also i

You do NOT need to notarize the affidavits.

I think the EAD combo card takes between 2 and 3 months to arrive, but I'm not sure how is that affected if you state that you have a trip on that date, and/or if you request an expedite. Also, I think people over this forum strongly recommend not leaving the US without the EAD combo card in your hand.

t looks we are on the similar steps and I would appreciate updating each other on how it goes. I hope all goes well with you. Good luck

I just checked and found out that the Nairobi consulate has received our petition. I wonder how long it will take them to send the necessary documents to my fiancee.
