QUESTION FOR ANYONE OUT THERE:

My case was completed at the NVC, we're just waiting for an appt.

What is this about the medical appt...do we have to wait for some form or anything like that for my hubby to get that out of the way????????? I'm not sure in what order this is done, please someone clarify this for me,

thanks so much,

Mayra

Mayra You need to wait for NVC to schedule an interview, once you have an interview date and letter you can go ahead and schedule a medical appointment. Good Luck!

Lisa - OMG Less than 24 hrs by Indian time for Y to get here....you must be spinning your wheels :P

Im not really calm, subdued but screaming inside:P It's all a bit surreal really.

Im so excited for you GS! 6 days?!?!

Mayra,

Some MD's will let you go with just the NOA2. You can call whichever one your hubby is going to and ask if they will allow him to have his medical with only a copy of the NOA2 or if they have to have the interview appointment letter. Is that what you are asking?

The packet 3/4 varies by consulate. Some only send out one packet(like ours) Some let you go pick up the packet, some will email the packet 3 but only mail the packet 4.

Packet 3 is the instructions on where to get the medical and a checklist of sorts of what is required.

Packet 4 is usually mailed out after they receive the packet 3 from the applicant. It contains the interview date ect.

I hope that helps with what youre asking :)

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Lisa static :rofl: Mayra u're so cute! lol hahaha u made me laugh ;) U mean ecstatic :P

Contact ur consulate and they will tell u how to proceed with the medical. On our consulate website we had a list of the panel physicians listed with their phone numbers and email. So hubby emailed one of them and she called him back. But best to wait till u have the appointment letter from NVC.

Seren, how's India treating u twinie?

Lis, yep 6 days and I am still in disbelief!! Can I scream along with ya?? Ok u ready? This is me screaming for Lisa wa Yazied as I couldn't find a screaming smiley other than the silly werewolf girl (but she has negative connotations of VSCHell so I won't use her lol) So here u go, I'll give it my best shot honeybunn:

OMGGGGGGGGGG HOW EXCITINGGGGG!!!! WOOOFREAKINHOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Hello Everyone....

GS: Interview is in 12 days...

I submitted my documents to VFS today, they returned half the requested paperback (inclu the draft) is that normal? :wacko:

Queue I did take the Star & stripe lounge facility...

Great to be home and be eating all this great food....Yum Yum Yum...

Lisa how are you holding up? 1 more day.... woohooo

Wendy how are you enjoying NJ?

Yes, VFS seems to only take the important docs, from earlier posts they won't take any of the relationship proof as you have to bring that with you to the interview. The draft should be submitted at the consulate and not at VFS. Anything else of note that they returned to you?

We submit the draft the day of the interview or does it need to be prior to the interview.

They also returned the Aff of support.

GM Everyone!!!

GS - I didn't pay anything for the CR-1 as all of the fees were paid to NVC. Wifey is doing ok, haven't had a chance to show her around NYC yet.

Serendipity - The draft is submitted the day of the interview, they will ask for it as one of the first steps when you enter the consulate for the K-3.

Lisa - The wifey is settling in ok, she is getting used to the surroundings and getting over her serious jet-lag, and getting her setup here, my next objective is getting her SSN.

:lol: For a minute I was like who the heck is this new person GM :rofl: lol Tired and sleepy today, I emailed the consulate to ask them if hubby could enter on Tuesday using his June 17th initial appointment letter from NVC or will he need a revised letter from them and in the back on my mind I was freakin out that they would turn around and say May 12th? What are u talking about? I was paranoid they would turn him away at the door since the letter stated a much later date. So naturally I didn't sleep well awaiting their response. So I'll chalk that one up to sleeplessness...He he if I am disoriented over the last few days left till interview, forgive me lol I am 1000% sure I will be pulling an all-nighter on Tues! :wacko:
