Hi all,

Can anyone dealing with a K1 fiancée from the UK share with me what sort of wait times there are for getting a medical exam appointment, and the same for the interview? Do they tend to have slots available pretty close to when you are first contacted by the embassy? From some of the member data on here, it seems like it varies from 2-4 months between NOA2 and interview date for the UK, but that doesn't really clarify how much time passes from NOA2 and Embassy contact, or the availability of Exam and Interview appointments...

Thanks in advance!

The medical can be scheduled right away. The interview comes about 1 month - 1.5 months after the medical, in my experience.

Removal of Conditions

4/13/17 - i751 received

5/3/17 - Check Cashed

5/5/17 - NOA 1 (dated 4/13)
