Filing I-129f & this other one for notification by E-mail. ...Getting NOA1 - then some day NOA 2 (the time you should gather all documents which are needed for your fiances country) - NVC - calling - getting the Case-Number.

Now you've to deal with the embassy of your fiances country: At NVC - Transit - Ready.

Your fiance or you will get Package 3 -- all documents who u have gathered meanwhile need to be sent now to the embassy (including DS-160 & paid fee).

Then most likely getting a Mail that you can schedule a Interview appointment. Before the appointment make sure to attend the medical.

Then showing up at the Interview & hopefully getting the result: approval.

Thats it =)

Thanks for the info but we are already at the point where we are scheduled and awaiting the medical. I am specifically interested in how the medical process goes and what to expect.

I went for my medical in 2012 couple days before the interview. I reported to the International Organization for Migration, brought all the docs required. After I paid the fee, they directed me to one of the hospitals where the actual exam took place. At hospital they took my blood, did the X-ray and then physical.Totally maybe couple of hours. In the end they gave me the sealed yellow package with the results of my medical which I brought to the interview unopened. And that's about it. Very simple, hassle free. Good luck!

Same here, only I did it right the day before interview. As I recall, to get results the same day you have to show up for medical exam earlier in the day (I can't remember specific deadline), but if you show up later, your results will not be ready until the next day.

I also had to go there 3 times the same day, first time to the office in the early morning to pay fee and get forms, then to the clinic after that to get the exam done (it was very different address, away from the office), and then in the late afternoon another visit to the clinic to get sealed envelope. So I had to figure out commute in Moscow to get here and there all day.

My wife had her medical two days before the interview. We went back the next day to get the results for the interview scheduled for the following day. We stayed in an apartment near the U.S. Consulate, and the medical facility was nearby, so everything was within walking distance.

Good Luck!

Thank you!!!

Don't forget to request the Ds-3025 form. You'll need that for the CS for AOS.

I had a very similar experience. The only thing is that I didn't go very far away from the clinic while I was waiting for the results. I actually met up with a girl who was going through the same process, and we did the medical together, and then just hung around the area together waiting for the results.
