I have a question. I read under the Embassy link that once there is an interview date it must be registered at https://ais.usvisa-info.com. It asks for the DS-260 number, what it that exactly? Does that happen to the number below the bar code? The site is not very user friendly as the "Help>>FAQ" doesn't address this. Want to get it right because any wrong information causes a delay---and Lord knows I don't want that.

Okay so how soon should I book the medical? Should I set an appointment immediately or wait a while longer? Is the appointment for the medical set by the hospital itself or the person going to do the medical?

(876) 926-7401-3

http://usmedical.amhosp.org/us-medical.aspx (please note that the fees listed may have changed)

The medical has to be done at least 10 days prior to the interview date. I would suggest calling soon verses waiting as you don't know what the scheduling is like.

Hope this helps

There are two barcodes at the bottom of DS-260 confirmation page.

The one on the left is your case number and the AAxxxxxxxxxx number under the barcode on bottom right is your DS-260 number.

Good luck to everyone on your upcoming interviews and Congratulations to All who were recently approved.

My husband and I are finally home in the US !! POE was last night in Baltimore.

I just posted my Belizean embassy review, word of Funny advice, Do Not use paperclips on your documents in Belize. I had about 15 or so to keep documents sorted out and security had to remove every single one, as we just stood there and watched him. It really showed me how OCD I am about organization.

Also, I just wanted to say Thank you again to everyone for their help and support through this process.

Without VJ we would have never been as prepared as we were nor had such a smooth case.

Thank you wish you a happy life.

(L) (L) (F) (F) Some peoples journey to love is harder than others, but when they reach their destination its definitely, definitely worth preserving. (F) (F) (L) (L)
