Congrats!

First =

in paticular the K-1 timeline - sponsor needs to get papers ready and sent to the benificiary, and the benificiary will need to do some things.

You can start filling out paperwork now, most embassies have the info online!

Congratulations!! If you got the NOA2, your next step should be to call NVC to see if they received it from CSC or VSC whichever your fiance submitted to. NVC will tell you if they've received it and when they sent it out. From then, you can contact the embassy in France to see if they've received it from NVC or you can wait for them to contact you. But before you call them, you should at least know that they've been sent the petition. At this point, your fiance should already have all that is needed to send to you. Packet 3 should list what they will require this should include your medical. Packet 3 should have the paper work that you will need to take to your medical and where to go. So I would recommend to wait on scheduling it. After you sent in your Packet 3, the embassy will sent you your Packet 4 to tell you when your interview is.

At least this is how my journey has been going. Others may be different. Again congratulations and good luck.

Not sure if you've read that yet. Otherwise, check the Europe thread at the bottom of the forums page and you can post a country specific question that has a better chance of being answered by someone who knows

Hello!

If you get to contact the american embassy let me know because I've been paying 15 euros per call to get no useful information

We got the packet 3 from the american embassy about 3 weeks after the NOA2 was approved (which was mid april). Then they ask you to gather all the information and send them the "coupon" saying that you are ready so that they can send you the list of the doctors for the medical and the date for the interview... Unfortunately we haven't gotten to that yet because we are struggling to get the packet 3 documents completed...

Good luck!

The doctors that are accredited by the embassy will be mailed to you with packet 3 and 4 - As far as I remember, I think that in Packet 3 they ask you to return the G325 part 1&2 (again!!!) to identify you and also you will have to send a form that acknowledge that you have all the evidence required in packet 4. Return the packet 3 as soon as possible as they will not schedule you for interview before receiving them. Packet 4 is the stuff that you need to bring to the interview with you in addition to what you already have (including the medical exam, chronopost envelope 1KG for them to be able to send you your passport back, medical results, and other forms that you will have to turn in at POE etc....) - do not mail packet 4 - just go there with it.

For the medical exam, in the mail you are going to receive soon, there will be the 4 accredited doctors by the US embassy - they are located in Paris...if you are not from Paris - like me - here is what I recommend:

- Your interview will be scheduled at 1pm - on that day, you can get your medical exams done and get the results on time for the interview - I had my blood sample taken at 8am, my X-Ray at 10am (at a different location) - then I showed up at the doctor's office at noon (with my X-Ray, meanwhile she had received my blood results), she completed my medical exam, I was out at 12.20 and walked to the embassy that was 5 minutes walk from her office. Oh, and the Radiology office is also provided by the embassy, as well as the lab for the blood tests - no way I could have done it in Bordeaux before going in Paris - It;s a pain in the ####, but it works out well, that's where you understand that our medical system is rather amazing

Bon Courage! Et si tu as besoin d'aide n'hesite pas!!
