Hi, Charlieface! As soon as we received our NVC case number, which was about 2 weeks after receiving our NOA2, we scheduled the medical exam, then went online and filled out the DS-160, paid the Visa fee, registered the courier, and scheduled our interview before we received packet 3. At the time we were choosing an interview date, the closest one was 6 weeks out. Once you choose a date, however, you can "reschedule" and find a closer date as others cancel their appointments, but just make sure you don't choose anything too close to your medical. Knightsbridge needs 5 business days to send the embassy the medical results.

I hope this helps. Good luck and congrats!

We used this to prepare for the interview in 10 days (?): https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/pk%203%20supplements/SYD%20-%20Sydney.pdf

At the moment, it took exactly 2 weeks for the NVC to receive the file, 2 days to get the number, 5 days to leave the NVC (they send it out in batches, is my impression) 4 days to get to the embassy, we heard 3 days later from the consulate, via email. While you're waiting for the email, do the DS-160, since you will need the receipt number to reply to the email. I left Australia before he could get a reply but from what he told me, they send you the PDF I linked above and a checklist (this 1pg checklist will ask on the bottom, where to mail your green card and based on what I've seen, you put the petitioner's address).

By the way, Kat&Jon, my fiancé is annoyed about our inefficiency (as am I), lol. We still use checks here, for instance. So, the fact that each packet that enters isn't numbered automatically seems kind of silly.

I've heard people having visa in hand from the next day to about 10 days later. So, if we're approved, ill keep you posted on that.

After that...entry to US. Which we plan on doing a civil wedding shortly after he arrives. Apply for anything we can at that point (AOS, etc) and then we can plan for a bigger wedding. We were too nervous to book a venue, vendors, etc based on the visa dates because it can dramatically vary.

I hope that helps. If I am missing something, please let me know!

What is everyone doing in terms of wedding plans? :)

The detail you provided is really helpful! When are you able to schedule the medical? Once you have the NVC number? My fiancé will be going to Perth. Thank you and best of luck for your interview! Very exciting.

You're very welcome. :) Correct! They want the NVC number when they book for the medical. We booked the medical as soon as we got it. I believe the medical is good for 6 months.

All the very best! My fiancé goes in tomorrow and is spinning his wheels - reasonably so, as I know I would be a wreck!
