Hi guys, 

 

I have a question regarding medical exam... So when we walk in for the medical exam, I understand one  of the documents we should bring is the interview notice. Is it the email from CEAC that you are ready for an interview or is it the appointment letter for interview  when you do the Ds160 that your interview is confirmed at this date? Sometimes lawyers just makes it so hard... Grrrrrrrr 🙄🙄🙄

@Amit&Julie   We feel your pain.  We got our NOA2 on 1/31, and it was ready at the US Embassy in Greece on 2/20.  Then we got the packet 3, and everything has gone downhill since then.  The US Embassy does not require Apostille stamps on any documents.  We knew this.  However, since my fiance is Russian and her documents are in Russian, we have to get them translated at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Athens, Greece.  We did not know this.  And, they will only translate documents that have the Apostille stamp.  So now we are paying a rush fee, which will hopefully get us the Apostille stamped documents in about a month.  The original estimate was 2-9 months.  Then, we will have to wait another 2 weeks to get the documents translated, so that we can submit the packet 3 information.  And, we cannot even schedule an interview and until after we have submitted the packet 3 information.  At this point, I think the best case is that her interview will be in late April, although it could be delayed until sometime in May.

I don't think K1 visa applicants have letters but on my medical exam I took the payment receipt that has my case number, visa interview date and time. They had no problem with that.

I wouldn't stress your self over this. The government works in their own time. Be positive that your at NVC stage. Sometimes it takes a couple weeks or so to get to the embassy.

You got this, just take a deep breath and relax. It will happen for you.

Thank you. Stay positive, your so close to the finish line that a few more days, or even a couple weeks is nothing at this point.:D

We’re all struggling here and this whole process sucks, but at least we found the one!!! And hey, your NOA2 took 5-6 months, well mine looks like it will take 8 months, because we’re already at 220 days and nothing, plus interviews in Brazil are already being scheduled for April, so it’s not going to be fast here either :( 

Marina, April is already closed?

The latest info I have (which is from a FB group called Unidos pelo visto K1) was two weeks ago, the dates available for interview in Brazil were March 27, April 3rd, April 10th and April 24th. I was hoping to do my interview in March, but that’s out of the picture since I don’t even have NOA2..

Oh my gosh, that sounds like SUCH a pain. I'm sorry you're having to go through that. Having to deal with 2 unique governments, each with their own quirks, bureaucracies, and degrees of corruption, is sooo frustrating, isn't it? :dead:  I'll be glad when we ONLY have to deal with the US Government, because that's difficult enough!
