Actually, nevermind, I looked it up elsewhere on VJ and found this thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...115441&st=0

I tracked my case using a variety of dates. EXP 19 NOV 2008A didn't work so I tried 18 and there was nothing to Kenya. But the reference # EXP 17 NOV 2008A turned up one package going to Nairobi! I'm betting this is ours, as not many people are going through Nairobi. DHL says it is now in London! Oh I am so excited--as soon as the consulate receives it, I can call and make the medical exam appt and also make the interview appointment! Yay!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

The embassy info here says the DS-230 Part I should be returned to the consulate UNSIGNED (as part of packet 3), but the packet 3 information doesn't mention this. Can someone please clarify?!

hi everybody, I just wanted to share with you that today i had interview at embassy at Zagreb, Croatia and my visa is approved. Everything was really easy and fast just 25 min :)

First, one woman gave me medical results and xray and told me that i should bring that with me. I just gave her documents from the list that i get from embassy, she took my fingerprints and i spoke with consul for about 5 minutes. He asked me when did we meet and where (when i said that we met 1998 he asked "what took him so long and he start to laugh), and who from my family is planning to come for weeding. He didnt ask for no evidence, for no extra paper or clarification.

At the end he told me that somebody will call me tomorrow to tell me that i can come to pick up passport with visa cause they have to print it and everything. And that was it. :dance:

Mine shows 10/30/2008 to 03/01/2009 But from what i have read you dont have to worry about the expriation date because the embassy will automaticly extend it at 4 months at a time until you are able to finish the process.

I sent my Pack 3 back 2 weeks ago and I signed only the DS-230 Part I and the Checklist. I don't know if your embassy is different from mine, but I suggest to rather follow the packet informations. You can't be wrong if you follow their directions (at least you can blame it on them then lol).

Plans for christmas? Visiting a christmas market and being with family and friends

Plans for new Years? none, I actually wanted to be with my hunny then but NOA 2 is already too late for that...And since the rest of my family has different plans, I'll either sit at home alone (hahaha, how ironic) or Dan books another flight to see me if we can afford it :help:

Happy for all of you where the journey goes on smoothly.

Anybody from end of june her and maybe with last touch at July 10th that is still waiting??

Question about medical: My SO had her K-1 medical exam yesterday at BNH in Bangkok. First, they gave her all the vaccinations (apparently), running up the cost to more than 6,000 baht. I was a little upset about that, as she does not need to get those until later, but anyway, it's out of the way now ...

My main question: I was under the impression that the doctor sent the medical report directly to the consulate. Instead, they've handed it over to my fiancee. Should she mail this to the embassy herself?

I have never heard of that either. Are you sure they handed the whole report to her (incl. x-ray etc.) or only the form where they indicate the vaccinations she had and got there? The latter she will need it for her AOS once married.

If she really got the whole report, maybe I would try to call doctor and/or embassy and ask about it.

Hmmm. Okay, I'm thinking they gave her both the exam and the immunizations, probably forwarded the exam to the embassy and handed her the rest. I'll try to figure that out.

Actually, she seems to have gotten the whole medical packet. She says she asked the secretary at BNH whether to send it to embassy now or wait for the interview. Secretary did not know.

Does anyone know?

I'm a June filer, just got approved:-) Haven't had a single touch since July, but Kyle got an NOA2 in the post yesterday. Our online case status doesn't show the NOA2. Good luck to any remaining June filers!!!

We had the same thing.
