Its a national holiday here in the UK too! Another day off work means another full day spent preparing for the next step of the journey! Unfortunately, being a holiday, I cannot call my doctor for my medical/vaccine records. So i'll do that tomorrow.

 

Im excited for lots of good news from everyone who is still waiting for NOA2. Still checking my case tracker regularly (even though I promised to give myself a break) haha.

 

I just have one question if someone could maybe help? Do I have to wait until my case has officially been transfered to my local embassy before booking the medical? Do I have to receive any sort of letter from my embassy or can I arrange my medical as soon as I have my case number from NVC?
 

Thanks IA. Hope everyone has a positive day today to start the week off well!

I'm quite sure you have to wait until the case shows as Ready. I'm sure you have already checked the Embassy website, but here's also the post Trylobyte had made about how to proceed for UK beneficiaries... And we know he succeeded

It's Saint Augustine here, patron saint of the town of Avilés. Actually, historic fact: Saint Augustine, in Florida, is the oldest continuously occupied oldest European-established settlement within the borders of the continental US. It was founded on September 8, 1565, by Spanish admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, Florida's first governor. So you are welcome

I already received my NOA2. But on the UK medical website it says I need an 'appointment letter from the US embassy' and Im pretty confused what exactly this is. As in, would the NVC number be enough or do I need to wait for a letter to arrive from London.

sorry, I was just posing the caution but that's non applicable  Glad you got approval.  

I read a post on Friday btw a UK and Canada - can't remember who now - but the convo was about having to wait in Canada vs UK not having such detailed orchestrated and timed movements.  

Probably best bet would be to msg gazlisa or trilobyte for this and also some 'tips' for the rest of the process.

 

Wish I knew, but each embassy is so different

Thanks, i'll have a read of his post now and if I have any more questions i'll message him . Yep, and actually, the doctors website for medical and the embassy website totally contradict each other! How frustrating *sigh*. They don't make it easy.

LOL  Funny we both referred Trilobyte.    of course, your post is a home run, providing a link hahaha

 

Saint Augustine in FL is my favorite destination.  Ann and I are going there soon after her arrival.  And you are correct, it is America's oldest city, the fort there is so cool to explore, made from cocina stone - it is a destination to see.  The narrow streets of the old town will remind you of Europe and strolling down them you find little shops to step into and cafes and bars.

Of course I'm correct. Everyone here knows from elementary school our fellow countryman went there and founded it  We are sister cities with Saint Augustine too and I was about to visit as the chaperone for the students exchange 7 years ago... But I dumped my job right before that

Sure life has changed since then, and for the best

Thank you both @Estibaliz and @AnJ Co. @TriloByte's post answered all my questions! And I even found a full review of the female medical exam from his fiancee which has really helped! I'm getting super excited now (to be with my fiance, not the medical lol).

it seems, they want a notice that your case delivered  to the embassy and you have a right to undergo a physical examination

NOA2 hard copy  26 August  

[Sally08 198]

Hi! So I called the uscis again. Do I tell them that I called before? Or should I lie? Cuz they're gonna think I'm bugging them. Can anyone who's called the uscis and got a good response from a tier 2, like, how do I set up the call back? Or after the tier 1 puts me on hold while she transfers me to an officer, do i just let the voice prompt keep talking or do I press numbers? Pls help. Should I call again?
