How specific and accurate does the US Travel History portion of the DS-160 form have to be exactly? I've done my best to remember all of the visits, but being Canadian it's nearly impossible.

Hi all,

just a quick question. I'm shipping my Affidavit of Support and documents along with that....what is the best mail courier that is reliable and cost efficient? In my area (Northern California), I have USPS, FedEx and UPS. Any recommendations would really help. Thanks!!!

Got case number today. She said it should be leaving NVC soon. Now on to the next phase.

Congratulations! It's a wonderful feeling to finally get your case number, isn't it?

After over 4 weeks since my NOA2, I finally received my case Number and Invoice on Monday. Strangely though, they said the file was already sent to Casablanca - without us submitting anything (paperwork, fees, or DS-160) to the NVC. I'm thoroughly confused as to what to do next. We filled out the DS-160 today but when you check it, it says simply "No Status". I tried to pay fees online and it tells me that the NVC already forwarded my case to the Embassy/Consulate, and any fees will be paid directly there.

I'd previously requested an expedite at USCIS and was denied. I requested one at the NVC stage before my case number was assigned, but received an e-mail stating they had no record of my case. I'm wondering if they went ahead and processed the expedite request but the rep didn't mention it to me at all. And I was in shock to hear the case was already shipped out, so I didn't think to ask for more details.

I'm thankful, just thoroughly confused at this point! And I can't express how happy I am to see all of you setting appointments for medicals and interviews... and seeing wedding dates! We're almost there!

I thought its just common statement from NVC, u should read K1-Instruct for next steps fr the US embassy/consulate site of ur country.

we must schedule interview date.

Hey all, Congrats on the NOA2s for everyone who has been waiting so long!! And melonshake for the approval <3 <3 <3!


I had my medical in London earlier this week so I thought I'd give you all a run down of how the procedure went so you guys will be familiar .


My appointment was scheduled for 10.10am, I got the Underground Tube Line to "BOND STREET" and the practice was only about 5 minutes walk away. I arrived at 10am, you have to press the buzzer for Knightsbridge medical and the door will unlock. I reached reception and the lady behind the window asked for my name, time of appointment and to hand over my documents (police certificate copy, vaccination records, passport photos, medical questionnaire and form of ID, email confirmation of my appointment from embassy/screenshot print out of the CEAC NVC "READY" status). She kept all of this and handed me another health questionnaire to fill out in the waiting room. I handed this back to reception and waited to be called in by a nurse. At 10.15 a lady called my name and lead me to a room, she went over my vaccination history and I found out I only need one shot, however I chose to opt out of getting it there and then because I can get it for free from my GP. I did not need to give a urine sample (darn it I was holding it in for ages haha). I was then directed to another waiting room. By 10.25 I was called by another lady to do my chest xray in a different room. She asked me to undress from the waist up behind a screen and put on a robe, you then go infront of a black screen and press your chest, shoulders and elbows against it, take a deep breath....and your done! She told me to put only my bra back on for the physical and to cover up with the robe. I was directed back to the waiting room. After about 10 minutes another nurse called me in for my physical. First of all she goes over the questionnaire and clarifys my answers, then documents my height and weight and eyesight test (I kept my contact lenses in for this). She then checked out the rest of my body whilst I lay on a bed, things like blood pressure, heart rate, listen to your breathing, reflexes, ear/eye health and "down below" (which was very noninvasive). The last thing she did was take my blood (I hate needles!) It wasn't that bad in the end....! You then get dressed, go to reception, pay and then receive your documents/ID back! The receptionist said if we don't hear from them in 4 days then everything is fine. The staff and nurses were really nice and efficient...I was out by 11.15am.

I hope this is helpful for some of you, this was done in LONDON ENGLAND. Please bear in mind the procedure may differ if you are from a different country. Bare in mind, for me, for the "letter/email from the embassy confirming case number / visa type" your embassy interview appointment confirmation email is enough (I took the CEAC status screenshot as a backup). I was concerned as I hadn't received a letter from the embassy yet in time for my medical, but the interview confirmation email was fine!

Good luck everyone!

One step closer to the interview!

Okay good to know! Thanks for the info

It is saying my case isn't ready to book an interview today.

My case says in transit but also says "your interview date was provided to you by the NVC"

Confused ?
