Yeah, you send in your paperwork.

You can't schedule your own interview with London. They will schedule one for you when they are in receipt of your medical results and forms (which ever comes last).

The instructions can be found here: http://london.usembassy.gov/iv_15.html

There's a long thread here for K1 applicants in London - skip towards the end as the instructions have changed quite a bit since that thread began: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/350185-london-2012-k1s-from-noa2-to-interview-thread/

Send it in, I sent my paperwork in before medical, only just ind you, so everything would be there at the same time. Then you just wait for London to inform you of the interview date, keep en eye out on the CEAC website and check for updates

Do your 160 form to completion and submittal; do their webmail form showing that you are ready (it requires you have the number from the completed 160); check CEAC site often for DATE updates (which signifies they are doing something with your file); call Department of State once a week to see if you have an interview date (some people never got letters from the Embassy and missed their dates). Good luck!

Definitely call DoS regularly and also check in via email.

We also emailed the embassy to let them know Steven would be available on short notice. He told them about our wedding plans, I also emailed and let them know about a medical issue with my son and testing coming up in July. Not sure which email did it, but they called/emailed on the 13th and his interview was this morning (14th!) at 9am. I had called DoS on the 12th and was told no interview had been scheduled yet.
