After NVC sends off approved petition

[MandyM8087 0]

Ok, I'm sorry if this has been asked already. I've been through the site so many times and cannot find a definite answer. So, here's the story...

We got all the docs together for the petition and I mailed to Texas on July 9th. On July 10th we got the NOA1 and we were trying to be very pro-active so we started research on what things may be asked at the interview and what he will need to bring - think we're ok here. We got our NOA2 on Sept. 21st (YAAAAAY!!!) and on Oct. 2nd I talked to the NVC and they'd already sent off the approved petition to the US Embassy London.

Now for my questions...

**How long should he wait before filing the DS-156 (x2), DS-157 (x2) & DS-230? Also, does he have to file form DS-156K? (I know DS-2001 doesn't go out until we're sure we've got all of our "ducks in a row" so no worries there)

**Since we have the LND and A #'s can he can go ahead and schedule his medical at Knightsbridge before filing the forms? He's already getting the injection records from his GP.

**I will be sending my support documents (bank statements, tax transcripts for last year and current pay stubs) to him next week. I have read these are only needed at the interview so no rush really... Is that correct?

We just want to be sure we're doing everything in the right order on this side of things so we can minimize any possible delays or issues. I'm back in London to visit in November and we'd really like it if he was able to come back with me (early Christmas present maybe? ).

Thanks so much for any and all help! This site has been a HUGE asset for me during this whole process!

There should be info on this on the embassy website, while all similar it does vary a little. I know at ours we did not file before but we took the DS 156 DS 156K and DS 230 to the interview and had to sign them there in front of them, but did not need a DS 157

On the London Embassy page here, it says some can be signed and some not, Have you received the letter 3 from Embassy yet? All should be answered there, or you can link from here to the embassy website to see if there is a copy of instructions there.

Thanks. I'll look on the embassy website and see what they say we need to do now.

I haven't gotten anything from the London Embassy (and as far as I know he hasn't either as of this afternoon anyway lol).
