Great to know you already did all that.

If my understanding is correct, then I answered your question already. IT DEPENDS.... packages are forwarded to Consulate after interviews are scheduled. If your interview is scheduled 2 days after Case Complete, it'll likely be sent within 2-3 days. If it takes 3 months after case complete to get an interview date, it'll take that much time before package is forwarded. I hope this helps.

Yes thanks.

I have a question about rescheduling our interview appointment at the London embassy.  We contacted the embassy about the possibility of moving it up a week or so in order for my husband to be here while we're off from school for spring break.  They directed us to the website ais.usvisa-info.com that shows the calendar for the embassy in real time and allows one to change their interview. 

 

My question is do you have to cancel your current appointment before you can see the calendar?  I just don't want to give up the appointment without knowing if there is an earlier one available. 

 

Anyone have any experience to share regarding this?

Thanks! Unfortunately NVC is closed today, so i could not get a hold of a Rep. How long did it took them to schedule your interview after your case was complete?

Must be a snow day...   grrrr waiting on the interview date.  luckily it doesn't snow in the Philippines.

I'll share you my experience, different embassy though.

I registered on their website as the guide on the nvc website said to do. They had available an interview for February 22nd when mine was scheduled for March 10. I called the embassy and spoke to a rep that told me I couldn't rescheduled an appointment made by the NVC because they know how long it'll take for everything the embassy needs to do to be done. So I was left with my appointment for March the 10th.

 

Try calling your embassy to see what they can do. It all depends on the embassy I think, I've read other reviews saying that they were allowed to change their appointment. But my case didn't apply. 

 

I hope this helps, Good luck ?

I"ll suggest you go ahead with the medical anyway it has 6 months validity. I am not sure how hard it is to schedule medical from Saint Lukes and if result will be forwarded that quick in time for interview. March 14 is just a month away. God bless your case!

Thanks. I've already pre-registered, going next week for sure. Congratulations on getting your visa, May God bless your journey to US, i'm assuming pretty soon?

I spoke to NVC the other day because we got approved for expedite at embassy level.  I'm not yet case complete but was reading this forum to see where others are at.  NVC were very firm in telling me not to get my medical until the consulate contacts me as they have to ensure I have the correct forms.  I'm in NZ, it may be different at your consulate but just my 2 cents worth.

Yes thanks.

I'm a little worried myself I got my interview date February 2nd my interview is the end of march and my case status still says at NVC. Maybe they send it when your interview is closer ?

Heartbroken right now.  My husband's medical didn't go well.  They discovered a heart murmer and want his physician to set him up with a cardiologist.  They also want a lymph node that he had biopsied several years ago rechecked to make sure it's not tb - hello, I'm pretty sure that would have been in the pathogen report.

 

I thought they just cared about communicable disease.  What do either of these things have to do with him moving to America?

I'm so sorry it didn't go good! :(

I hope and pray it gets resolved and that he is ok.  Fingers crossed!!

Hi.

 

Does anyone know where to find the Medical Questionnaire for the Knightsbridge medical in the UK?

 

I've been looking and can't see where to find it. 

https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/family-immigration/medical-examination/

 

Click on the Required Documents dropdown and click completed medical questionare.

I got this info from Knightsbridge doctors when they emailed me my appointment info.  Hope this helps!

 

:)
