Hi all,

My fiance is from Cameroon but he's lived in the UK now for many years and will have his interview at the London embassy. We received the NOA2 approval notice just a few days ago. I am wondering if we can go ahead and mail the required forms to the London Embassy now instead of waiting to receive packet 3 first. I read somewhere here that you don't actually have to wait to receive packet 3 but I want to know how early?

The embassy website requires these documents before we can schedule the interview:

- DS-230-Part 1

- Form DS-156 (in duplicate)

- DS-157 (in duplicate)

- DS-156K (Do not write below the line)

- Birth certificate

- Police certificates

- Evidence of engagement

- Evidence of financial support (I'm mailing this to you on Friday)

- Form 2001

- A cover letter containing: your email address, date of your wedding and date of the medical examination.

Am I missing something? I looked around to see if a similar post exist but couldn't find 1. Sorry if I'm duplicating

Thanks in advance!!!

Need to know if the Embassy has sent the packet out first.

You can call visa services in the states, they will tell you if packet has been sent out by Embassy.

For inquiries about visa cases and the application process call: 202-663-1225.

To e-mail the Visa Office for general information, write us at usvisa@state.gov.

In the meantime others have indicated that you can get medical done and out of the way.

Look through this forum, many posts about the process in the UK

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Is now a US Citizen immigration completed Jan 12, 2012.
