I haven't posted in here yet, but with my other I129-F November filers now concerned with their respective US embassies, I figured I'd join this group! My fiance just submitted the DS160 today, and I hope he'll be able to schedule his interview for when I am there in late March :)

Yesterday evening I got back to Pittsburgh. I've visited family and friends back home in Västerås. I had a wonderful time. Saw a bunch of people, ate some good food that I've missed (chicken with cash

Wow. It's been a long time since I posted here. But I have good news. It has been a long journey to get to the point where I am right now. On Sunday it was six years since my wife and I met in person

I'm hoping for the checklist from the embassy. They've had our case a little over 2 weeks now so I'm getting impatient feeling like they should be done reviewing by now. Hopefully this will be the week :)

Wow, i thought they were quick to mail out package 3 thats the impression I had from other timelines.

I see you had the medical before it got to the embassy? ... Aren't you suppose to wait til it has received the embassy?

My plan was as soon as I get the case number I would book an appointment but doing it so my case would receive the embassy before the medical would.

I hope nothing is wrong :)

I was told there was a long wait time for appointments and want to try to speed things up, so I mailed the embassy and they said it was fine for me to do the medical as long as I had the NVC case number :)

It was going to take the doctor 1-2 weeks to get the results to the embassy anyway.

Thank you, I hope so too :)

Great! ... Then I'll do the same thank you. It also takes them 2 weeks to send it to Sweden from Denmark.

Let us know when it gets there :)

They've been pretty slow these last couple of weeks, maybe understaffed or something?! When we first sent in our response to our 221(g), they got back to us after two days. Now it seems the response time is about a week.

I haven't posted in here yet, but with my other I129-F November filers now concerned with their respective US embassies, I figured I'd join this group! My fiance just submitted the DS160 today, and I hope he'll be able to schedule his interview for when I am there in late March :)
