@geowrian I'd prefer the cheaper route of a round trip.  I was just curious if it mattered what date I chose for the return, though not returning?  Meaning could I count 90 days away and choose that date?

Ah, it's cheaper for a round trip for you? Ugh...airlines....I will never understand you.

 

The return date shouldn't matter, but be 100% sure to make sure it gets cancelled. The airline could notify APIS (https://www.cbp.gov/travel/travel-industry-personnel/apis2) that you left the country, which abandons your AOS application and would terminate your authorized stay in the US.

I emailed the consulate in Montreal this morning asking for clarification on the email they sent me last week. I wanted to know if I'd have to resend my packet 3 email or not. A couple hours later, they replied with my packet 4 email! Medical is now being scheduled, interview is scheduled and I'm getting VERY nervous/excited! :dance:

Awesome news!  You're on your way!

My fiance received her Visa in hand about a week after her interview.  This part of the process goes very fast!  

Good luck and congrats again!

When you called NVC to get your MNL #, did you phone the immigrant or non-immigrant phone #? I called the non-immigrant number and the recording said I needed my fiancee's passport #. The immigrant visa line did not require that.

I called the non-immigrant line. They did not require passport number, just my complete name, date of birth and my fiance's name and date of birth also.

You may try to call and check.

@geowrian or anyone else who may have some insight into this.  What is the alien case number that is required for the medical?  Where can I find it?  Is it the USCIS number?  Is it the NVC number?  Am I getting warmer? :)

I hope I understand u correctly, the case number asked for on the medical is the NVC case number. But if u want the Alien number u will find it on NOA2, look on the top right in the third row in the box BENEFICIARY just above ur foreigh fiance's name, thats his alien number

Yes, unfortunately that happens, that one way tickets are much more expensive... But that's a good tip, because it didn't come to mind the fact you should cancel your ticket back. I have to remember to do that in due time, definitely :)

@HeartMoyo we are praying these last couple steps before he takes that flight are simple and fast.  Praying against any RFE, delays in getting an interview, and travel complications.  We'll have to buy a last minute flight from Zimbabwe home to me and how God's gonna pull that one off, I guess we just wait and see.  Easily $2,000-$3,000 for a one way flight last minute. I don't know where that money is, but it will be there in time.  Congrats on being approved :) It took 18 days for our NVC number, he leaves for Zim on Friday, and tonight we completed his DS-160, to the point that he just needs to add the photo and submit.  His second police clearance is on Monday and his medical is next Wednesday.  You have to schedule a medical at least two weeks before your interview date.  Since we don't have an interview date yet, that made it easy.  We knew we needed to go ahead and get things scheduled while we waited for that NVC number because Harare only recognizes TWO doctors for the medical, so the first chance you get you're going to want to see what their schedule looks like.  He has THREE more working days after today.  A very emotional week, but soon he'll be able to relax, and by faith we believe he'll be home in America by the last week of May or first week of June.  We chose 4 wedding dates of June 10th, 11th, or July 15th, 16th.  I can't wait to be his wife!

@visamountain flight is much cheaper with emeriates  its about 700$ one way flight R10.500 one way depending where in the USA you'll fly too
