Congratulatioooons to y'all :-), things are moving faster now!

The others I'm crossing my finger's that y'all hear good news really fast! Hold your head up and always remember it will come :)

My fiance called nvc last night again (after he called them in the morning already) and they told him, that our petition made it there, but it isn't in their system yet :) :) :), glad to know it is there.

We call the next days again for case #

I called NVC on Feb 26 and they said they received it but no case number. On Feb 27 it was marked ready and already sent to the consulate. Now we are waiting on a letter from the consulate so we can make sure our documents are in order....then comes the interview!

hiya trisha89,

I don't know if this was already asked - but I noticed that you've already done your medical exam before getting your packet 3. How do you know where to go/what to do? Does germany have assigned clinics for medical exams? I was under the assumption that you had to wait for instructions from the local consulate before getting the medical done?

Our petition was marked ready on Feb 27 on the letter I received. I looked on CEAC today and now the ready date has been changed to march 4. I am curious if that would be the day the consulate actually received it?? Anyone else have their date changed?

hiya trisha89,

I don't know if this was already asked - but I noticed that you've already done your medical exam before getting your packet 3. How do you know where to go/what to do? Does germany have assigned clinics for medical exams? I was under the assumption that you had to wait for instructions from the local consulate before getting the medical done?

After we got the NOA2 I was going here in Germany - Frankfurt to the medical yes!

They are open on mandays, tuesdays and thursday's from 7:30 until 11 am where you don't need an appointment to make the medical! You can just come there and do it all.... It was very friendly.... Everyone was very nice.

I did it this early, because I know from two other german friends who had also this K1 journey, that everything is moving waaaaaaay faster for us once you already have the NOA2.... The german embassy which is for the K1 also in Frankfurt (Germany) is working really really fast once they got the petition from the NVC.....

And the validity of the medical is 6 months, so I did my medical on february 24th and the NVC has already our case since march 3rd... Right now we only wait for our case number and that they send it to the embassy in Frankfurt...

So everything should be finished soon :)

Our status date changed today too. I've been waiting for Packet 3 so maybe this was the day it was finally sent? I don't know..

Congrats Sparklepony. We have had basically the same timeline throughout this process. The hardcopy letter I received said my fiancé should complete form DS-160 online while we wait for the interview to be scheduled. I think that is the visa application. Hopefully we can get something this week. Crossing my fingers for you.
