I've read National Visa Centre so many times and of course that's where our I-129F was approved and then sent on to the Consulate!! SSSSSSoooooooorrrrryyyyy for taking up such valuable space :bonk: ............{{{HUGS}}}

I have received the appointment letter for my wife today in the mail and was shocked not to have receivedd a medical appointment letter as well. I am wondering did any of the others receive that information? Or do you think another packet will be sent to our spouses as well?

Good luck to everyone, I will be sure to post all that happens so that those waiting can know what to expect.

PS the packet received from NVC contained:

Cover letter

Appointment Letter

Vaccination Requirements

Document Requirements (interesting note new i864 info is required to include this tax year of 2005)

Medical Letter stating that it is required one week before appointment and a map but no specific details.

A notice of fee changes, if you only paid nvc 335 instead of the 380 you will need to pay the 45 increase at t he embassy.

;)

Since they havent did anything with my case at all yet. Not even set the case to Morocco yet I contacted two congressmen. They were suprised at the least that they still havent sent the case and it hasnt been sent yet. I guess they can do more to help people if its for a really immediate relative. I dont mind waiting but they wont even tell you anything at all at the NVC they just expect you to wait.
