Once you get everything together,
schedule a visa appointment request.

Additional Info? |
If you want to go as fast as possible, then as soon as the petitioner gets the NOA2, then take that to the police to get the police certificate. It takes about two weeks' waiting. Also go to the medical people at this time. All forms you need are found online. By the time the embassy gets the package from NVC and you send back your info to them, you'll have the police certificate in hand. When you get the reply email from the embassy, schedule your appointment online. This is the fastest way possible.
Note that appointments seems to become unavailable less then approx 1 month out -- because they get booked up. |
