I'm sure this has been discussed before but I'm having trouble finding the right answer.
My Fiancee received our letter from the NVC a few days ago with our case number.

I headed over to CEAC and entered our LND number and the status is showing as ready. (which I believe means its already arrived at the embassy). I haven't received a letter from the London embassy as of yet and really wanted to check if I should wait to receive the letter from them or if there's anything I should be doing in the mean time?

I've got everything together and after such a long wait at TSC I don't want to be twiddling my thumbs if there's something I should be doing rather than waiting for them.

If anyone can let me know their experience (particularly at London) that would be great.

Thank you in advance

You don't need the letter.

Start reading this London thread for a list of things to do. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/474161-london-k1-a-complete-guide/

There's some broken links (sorry) and some corrections later so have a read through all of it to get an overview and learn what has changed.

The letter tells you to go to the website for your instructions. This is the correct link. http://london.usembassy.gov/iv/fiance_instructions.html (Broken link in the guide)

Get started.

Hi Brad, just to let you know that I'm in precisely the same boat as you! I've followed the steps on the link Nick provided too and am just now waiting on the appointment letter from the embassy. My medical is on Tuesday! If you would like we could keep each other informed on our progress?

Best, Hannah
