How long before they contact me?

Hi, I am CB from Canada, and just posted out mini-bio in my profile.

My fiance filed a K-1 petition July 28, and I hear the approval time is going on into Feb 2008.

I expect to be in Florida on a B-1 visa from November to May. It is looking like I will have to take time off from my job in Florida to fly back to Canada when they contact me about my end of the petition -- interview, medical etc.

Does anyone know when I can expect USCIS to contact me for the first time? Thanks, CB

USCIS won't contact you. The Consulate will. Nobody knows but probably in the November to January time frame. You'll need somebody to send you any mail from the consulate. Yes, when you get your interview date assigned, you'll need to arrange to go back to Canada for a week or two.

Thanks Pushbrk. Funny how a straight answer can sort things out, when immersing yourself in all this stuff for 2 months only serves to make one more confused!

Take a look at the immigration timeline link at the top of the page, you might get an idea of how long it will take from what others have experienced. This is why it is important to keep your timeline updated. Good luck

After you've sent back package 3, which is after NOA 2, you'll receive a date for the medical and interview. This will be at the address you've listed as the address of the beneficiary.

For me it was about 4 weeks after NOA2
