For everyone between NOA2 and interview in London

[xylo 4]

Thought there must be a few of us now waiting for an interview date. How far through the process are you?

Trying to stop myself checking the timelines every five minutes to guess the wait time...

[ZedbraGuy 6]

You'll have a few weeks to wait before you get a date, we waited 3 weeks after sending in our packet three forms. Have interview in 2 weeks time

[xylo 4]

Congrats on your interview date! Your timeline seems quite promising. I know there's going to be a bit of a wait now, naturally I'm just hoping it'll be sooner rather than later!

Packet 3 was sent in on 17th May, and I had my medical last Friday (27th).

Results of the medical should be at the embassy by the start of next week.

Sent Packet 3 May 11. Received Packet 3 May 12 (en route to London, already.) Medical May 13. Medical logged May 20 (passed.) Packet 3 logged May 21. Told today (5/31) am eligible for interview. No interview, yet, according to DOS.

Both Zedbraguy and us got held up at one stage for a few weeks. Us at NVC. Them from NOA2-NVC, but here is a comparison. Theirs makes me hopeful! This should give you something to cut and paste and follow. Good Luck!

Tons of good info here, hopefully it will be useful to everyone who's at this stage. Here's hoping everyone receives their interview date soon!

It also might be of interest that once our packet three was logged there was very little time between that and getting and interview date. A couple of days at the most

A couple of days? Blimey! I figured it would be a few weeks at least. We got our NOA2 last week (but that's only from the website so far, so I'm trying to not get too paranoid that that's wrong as we're awaiting the hard copy) so are at the start of the next waiting game. It's great to see the timeframes for people in the embassy stage as we can start to think about when I might be heading over to the States.

Embassy told me today that you are scheduled and mailed your packet 4 exactly 2 weeks from the date of your medical receipt. From those that have theirs on here, that looks true. Anyone else???

[Colin&Lori 6]

well here are my dates in my Sig (didnt had to wait that long for a interview date and to recieve packet 4)

Hi all

We just got our LND number. Our case was sent to London on May 27th. I'm going to call and book my medical today. For those of you who already had theirs, what is the medical like? What do they check, how nice are they and how long does it take? I'm always a little worried when it comes to hospitals/check-ups and stuff like that!

Mine was Friday, probably the first appointment after their lunch (12.50) - I was probably in there for about 45 minutes in total. Vaccinations nurse, straight in to x-ray, back to waiting room for 5 mins or so, then in to the doctor for height, weight, eyesight test, blood pressure, check your eyes with an opthalmoscope, listen to heart and lungs, prod the stomach area and check that you are the gender you are supposed to be, and finally blood test. All three medical people were nice.

Check that you've had two MMR jabs, normally around a month apart - I hadn't and was offered choices of 1) do at own doctor's and they'll give me a form for the doc to fill out and return 2) wait until AOS in the US or 3) pay £37 to get it done there and then - I paid the money and had it done, so that there's no delays

[ZedbraGuy 6]

My medical took a lot longer than 45 minutes, was waiting around for a long time before the x-ray, and again before seeing the doctor. Didn't see the nurse as I had most of my injections done by my GP already. Still need the second MMR jab. Most of the people were okay, although I found the doctor to be a little rude.

However, i had issues with my x-ray and had to go back a second time. I had very little waiting that time, and they were very nice as I was clearly very stresed amd worried. Checked out okay in the end thankfully. So my advice is give the clinic your work or mobile number in case there are any problems and you have to go back again.
