I noticed that folks are waiting on different visas so I was hopeful to hear from only fiancé visa folks... How long before you got your case number from the nvc???

Have you recieved your case # yet? What did your copy say, did it list a consulate? Did it say that it's been sent directly to the consulate or NVC?

I am vibrating right now,

The Vancouver consulate e-mailed me back, and will send my Packet 4 letter to me today. I booked my medical yesterday, so all I need is that letter (packet 4) and I am on the road to Vancouver on Monday. My Medical is Tuesday and my interview on Thursday. For once, jumping the gun didn't backfire on me.

I wish you all this much speed and good fortune.

Did you do the ds260 or ds230 and did they send your packet 3 via email?

Actually that was another thing I jumped the gun on. As soon as my fiance told me they had sent a letter to him saying they had our file I faxed the checklist and DS230 to them. I got an e-mail back saying they received it and that they would send out my packet 4 yesterday. I am hoping they will e-mail it to me as I leave on Monday and will need it for Tuesday.

I am so nervous. My fiance sent all our first packet by fedex and it is out for delivery today. I need to print off all my Skype records and I am prining all the e-mails we have sent back and forth, hopefully that won't be needed but I will take it with me anyway. I booked my hotel yesterday in Surrey pretty close to Dr Cheema's office so I can walk to that then jsut either drive or take public transit in to the embassy.

BUT>>> I don't have the official packet 4 letter which is needed for the medical. i am hoping they will e-mail it today. Or by the latest tomorrow.
