April 25th NOA2, yet no word from the NVC. Package 3/medical/interview questions

[grassi 1]

Hello all! First, I'm sorry if I'm posting questions that have been answered before on other topics. I've read through several pages, and although I've found a LOT of useful information, I haven't quite been able to find the specific answers I'm looking for.

My fiance and I received our NOA2 on April 25th, after six months of waiting. Now, it's been nearly three weeks and we haven't heard anything from the NVC. I've called a handful of times, but they keep saying that it hasn't been received and that I should wait to call back until it has been 14-15 business days after the date on my NOA2, as anything before then is normal processing time.

My question is, what exactly are we waiting on from them? Another letter? Package 3 (whatever that is)? (By the way, if anyone knows what package 3 is, please share, as I have no idea.)

Also, will they schedule the medical and interview, or is there some way we should be doing that now?

Thank you for your help!

you have to wait for NVC to get your case and assign you a number

call USCIS and find out when they sent out your case to NVC or if they even sent it out to them already?

start there and then you can think about medical ect...

i waited for a while till they recieved my case then assigned a number to my case so thats the first step - good luck

Package 3 is forms and checklist.

It is sent by the consul or you download it from the consul website - depends on your country.

Medical is booked by the beneficiary at the location specified by the consul.

Interview is usually booked by the beneficiary instructions are in package 3. - again depends on your country.

The file goes to NVC for only a few days. This is the hand-off to the Dept of State. Gets a new case number LNDxxxxx and is sent to London. USC petitioner gets a letter from the NVC telling new case number and it's gone to London. You have to get to the NVC or your case won't get to London for the rest of the process. It sounds like it is still with your service center or NVC has misplaced it or put a typo for your case number in their records and can't find it on the computer.

London takes a couple of weeks maybe, but eventually logs in your case and sends a paper letter to the UK person with instructions on how to apply for the visa.

For you London preparation start reading HERE http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/350185-london-2012-k1s-from-noa2-to-interview-thread/

Then post #6 down the page will tell you all about "packet 3".

Edit: Just saw you had some answers while I was posting. No, you do not schedule your own interview in London. No you don't get a packet. Follow my links for London's process.
