Congratulations yoke!

Couple of questions for you

1) What doc did you submit at VFS?

2) It seems like you submitted your medical at interview. Does the embassy give option to submit medical at VFS or interview? I have seen people do both.

3) Does NVC send a list of docs to be submitted at VFS and did you the petitioner also receive the interview letter?

Good luck to you!

thank you, vfs office just took her passport copy, copy of ds-230, 2 2x2 pics n appointment letter, they said make u get your medical done before interview date (which she did but didnt submit any medical reports to vfs). and no NVC did not send a list of what docs to send to vfs, on the appointment letter itself showed what documents NVC received so far..hope this helps
