Guess what? I'm 40 days and counting.. So cheer up you guys! I won't be surprised if you guys get approved earlier than me. It seems like I'm the only first-week filer that's left. I'm still looking up, though. :)

I am not sure 100% but as far as I understand from reviews and from my embassy's info:

NVC will give you the number (they should send an e-mail, but so far noone receives it, everyone calls and asks), with this number you can schedule your medical (it should be done before the visa interview). I advise you to call your medical and ask what exactly they need. Mine said they need the case number, vaccination record, etc..

Also NVC will send your case to your embassy. After your embassy gets it, they will e-mail you and tell what you need to do next. It is different depending on the country. As I see in my embassy they don't need any packet 3, they ask you to bring all the paperwork with you to the interview (the paperwork is a bit different depending on the country as well, but you will need affidavit of support, birth certificate and a lot more). Some embassies ask to mail it to them before the interview and all this documents are called packet 3 (it is my suggestion only), but anyway you will get the instructions soon.

I found this info on the website of your embassy: Immediately upon receipt of the I-129F Petition at the Embassy in Belgrade, we mail an instruction letter to the visa applicants.

NOTE: Do not take any actions before you are personally instructed to do so.

Don't worry! For now you can chill out for a few weeks. Just start gathering the papers! Everything will be fine.

Thank you, this helps a lot!

YaY! Congratulations. First of many positives coming this week.

You have till then to get approval for K-1 Visa. Rarely will there be an issue like the recent one to enter U.S. By that exploration date. If it gets close the Embassy can extend the date.
