Yes they do the blood work and the Chest X ray to determine the evidence of TB.

 

They administer you vaccines if you do not have your vaccination history.  And do give you a sealed envelope with the reports (not to be opened) to be carried to your Interview..

 

I only know that the tests are age specific, however I am not aware what tests are included. And also, I am not sure if the reports are country specific. Read somewhere on the forum that the X Ray CD was not provided. But I was given one...

I see that your process is going really fast. Is there anything that you did to have your case processed faster?  I was told that I may have to wait up to 11 weeks for my AOS/IV package to be reviewed.

If you look at the spreadsheet below, 8.5-9.5 weeks is the average time NVC is taking for CC. Ours was around the same time. Nothing special we did, in fact we got rejected multiple times for expedite so even though we tried, it didnt work

You can see JBMG's posts a few pages back in this thread to find links on how to add yourself to the spreadsheet - so you can keep track of other couples in your country.

Good morning everyone from the beautiful state of Maine...my wife and I left her city of Cherkassy Ukraine yesterday and we arrived at Borispol airport in plenty of time for her flight.  My wife and I are expecting our first child in early September and because she is getting close to 26 weeks and her last medical checkup was at 24 weeks we had her doctor give us a paper saying she was good to fly, but Ukraine being Ukraine,  the women checking us in said it was not the right paper and she could not fly.  Anyways, after some very emotional yelling from my wife and pulling some more documents for my wife's pregnancy they finally let us fly.  After that it was all smooth sailing on to Boston. 

    We landed about 6:15pm or 18:15 for you non Americans...;) we may have been the only plane at that time because the lines were short. We waited maybe 15 minutes in line then went to the immigration officer.  He took her papers, very quickly looked at my passport, set it aside, went through her papers, gave back the medical CD they gave us and said he didn't need it...strange I thought because it said on the CD to give it to the immigration officer. Anyways, he stamps her passport, writes a few things, types a few things,  takes her finger prints and a picture. And said, "You are all set, have a good night". So I think maybe 10 minutes was all it was.  Things went so easy.  I would not say the immigration officer was friendly but he was nice enough.  Probably just the working on Friday evening blahs...

 

 

Congratulations!  Glad to hear it went smooth.  We had a similar experience via JFK - no questions.

Thank you for the information. I am praying that my stepson is here before school starts in August but it doesn't look like it. I will keep praying....

Hey guys. Just an update.

 

All packed up and ready to leave in few hours (5 Hrs) for my Consular Interview on Tuesday. I have my biometrics on Monday (I'm interviewing at Mumbai Consulate). Checked the documents multiple times, but still not satisfied. I just feel like I'm missing something. I hope I didn't.

 

Good luck to everyone at different stages of processing. I hope you all receive good news soon. I certainly wish I can give you all guys good news about our case.

 

Interview on June 13, 2017.

Hi everyone,

 

My CC was June 2nd.  Embassy is Japan.

 

I got the below email on Friday.  How long will it be until my interview is scheduled? Anyone have any idea?

Dear Sir/Madam,

The National Visa Center (NVC) received all the requested documentation for this immigrant visa case. The

applicant is now in the queue awaiting an interview appointment overseas, where a consular officer will adjudicate

the applicant’s visa application.

NVC schedules appointments one month in advance. The U.S. Embassy tells us what dates they are holding

interviews, and NVC fills these appointments as they become documentarily qualified. Most appointments are set

within three months of NVC’s receipt of all requested documentation. However, before applicants in a numerically

limited (preference) visa category can receive an appointment, their priority date must also be current. This can

delay receipt of an appointment. You can track your priority date using the Visa Bulletin on travel.state.gov.

When an appointment is available, we will notify the applicant, petitioner and attorney (if applicable). The

applicant can prepare now by reading about the embassy’s interview requirements online at nvc.state.gov/interview.

Thank you for your patience.

The embassy may require additional documents at the interview. For example, if the following three items are all

true, the applicant must bring a new police certificate to the visa interview:

He or she is more than 16 years old;

The police certificate submitted to NVC was obtained more than one year

ago; and

He or she still lives in the country that issued the certificate.

The applicant should not make any travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment until the embassy has

issued a visa.

Sincerely,

National Visa Center

NVC schedules the interview dates based on your Consulate's availability. The last time we were scheduled by the end of the month i.e. May end.
