Visa interview date?? How long now??

[cutek1320 0]

I know I'm real good at waiting with this process at this point, but just wondering about how long it took for people to get their interview dates from the time they had their medical?? And I'm referring to the lovely London Embassy. I thought we'd have an interview date within a week after his medical... but no such luck as of yet... Can anyone offer me some hope??

We're just soooo close...

Have you had a look at the K1 Visa timelines tool at all on here?

Hey Cutek1320 I am in the same position as you too. I did my medical and now waiting for the Embassy to send me a letter for my interview date. I am so impatient lol now and I have no idea when it will happen. Some people say when you receive the letter, it will take a month until the interview date but looking at the timeline, its all mixed. One says a month, the other got theres within 2 weeks. So who knows!

Thanks for the responses, I've looked at the guides and people's timelines, but am going a little crazy since we're sooooo FLIPPIN close!!!

Just thought I'd ask to see if anyone knew... but it looks like anywhere from 2-6 weeks... just wondering for the holidays, ya know??

UGH i know what you mean......I can't bear it if I wasn't there for Christmas with my fiance. It would be so awful . Yeah I have checked all the timelines and its all 2 - 6 weeks. I know what you mean when you say its so close because it really is!!!!! When did you do your medical? I did mine last Friday.

I know what you mean. The anticipation is killer. But the interview should be 3-4 weeks from the time you receive your letter. Have you called the NVC? I'm not K1 but I know in the UK forum a lot of folk go on about calling to see if they have a date yet? Wish I could be of more help!

the last i heard you where looking at about 2 1/2 month from NVC > interview so it will be pushing it close for christmas. London normally give an interview date of 1 month after the interview letter is sent out but i have seen cases of it only being a couple of week so you could get lucky... but i believe they are very busy right now.

good luck

Call DoS to make sure they have logged your packet 3 yet (that can easily take 3 weeks)and if they have actually received and logged your medical results yet. If both are logged check if you're marked "interview ready" and from then it should only be a few days before they send out the letter - if you can't wait keep calling them and you can get the date / time of the interview on the day the send the letter so that would save you a few days.

When you call DoS make sure you have your London case number and date of birth for petitioner and beneficiary handy. Number is

1-202-663-1225 - option 1 then option 0

Good luck!

Cute, I had my medical on the 18th october this year, I got my interview date by the 28th october for the 22nd november. I have my interview next week although trying to postpone is as im missing a piece of paperwork. That should give you an idea of the time frame though.

Similar for us. Medical took place on 30 September, interview date came through for 17 Nov (which is today and it was approved ) so approximately 6 weeks from medical date. I called the Embassy 1 week after my medical and they advised that they had all my documents but hadn't processed them yet and advised me to call back in two more weeks. I left it one week and called back and they confirmed it had all been processed and gave me my interview date over the phone, I paid the $350 there and then and got the email confirmation etc within a few mins. The letter landed a couple of days later. Good luck and hang in there, it'll happen soon for you.

AWWW congratulations !!!! I pray mine comes quickly now. Its been a week since my medical and I think I will do what you did and call them next week to see what they say. Its been nearly 3 weeks since I sent my papers, but obviously, they only process them when they recieve the medical results.
