Hello

just a quick couple of questions. Now I understand that with immigrant Visas much of the processing is done at the NVC and the embassy in London would only actually be involved at the interview? Is this true? I mean does my DS250 and I-864 get reviewed at the NVC and I dont return any forms to the embassy in London?

Do I email the I-864 information and DS 260 supporting info or express mail?

Also when do I take the medical, can I book at anytime during the NVC stage or do I have to wait for them to supply me with the interview?

Thankyou

The first part would be filing your I-130 or I-129F, whichever is applicable. It then goes to the concerned service center, CSC or VSC, and you wait a few months for your petition to be approved. Normally you wait 5-6 months. Once your petition is approved, your case is then forwarded to the NVC, where it could take b/w 1 to 2 months for your case to be completed and sent to the concerned embassy. Your I-864 and DS-230, or DS-260 in your case, are sent to NVC. Medicals are not booked thru NVC. Once your case is closed at NVC, you will then get an interview date, and that is when you get ur medicals done.

Wait, are you applying for a K1 fiancée visa like your profile says? If yes, then forget the NVC, there's no document intake at NVC stage for K visas. K1 applicants send their forms to the embassy.

You should ask in the UK forum about the medical, because it's different in each country.

Well we are thinking about getting married first and then filing CR1 as we just found out the processing time is only a bit longer than the K1 visa and I would be a permamenent resident on entry to the states. Thus meaning we dont have to pay over $1000 for AOS in the states and I can find work quicker. Just looking at the different paths and forgot to change my profile!
