NVC Number - What now?

Happy New Year Guys!!

I have seen that people have started to get their new case number from receiving their NOA2 on the 8th of November (our NOA2 date too) so I will call tomorrow to see if we have ours issued yet (crossing everything!) but am a little confused what I can do once I have this....

 

Our case will be going through London, so with the new case number in hand, do I go ahead and submit the form online, book the medical and interview or do I need to wait for an email from the embassy with instructions? 

 

What are the medical waiting times at the moment, a couple of weeks I heard a few months ago but I am not sure if this has changed?

Any insight into the above would be muchly appreciated.

Embassy website has all the information you need

 

After you have attended your medical examination, you should then schedule your visa interview through the Visa Appointment Service website at https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv and follow these instructions:

  • Select “I have received a letter from the consular section with instructions to register or schedule a K visa appointment”;
  • Follow the onscreen instructions to register an account;
    • If you have children applying under your case number, you may “add” applicants to your account after you have added your own details.
  • You will be asked to select your delivery method for the return of your passport if your visa application is successful. Delivery to a courier depot is free. If you wish to upgrade to home/office delivery you can pay an additional fee through your account;
  • Pay the MRV application fee;
  • You will then be offered the first available interview date, but you may choose any available date. Note: You may schedule an appointment to take place after the petition expiration date, provided that you bring to your interview a signed letter from your petitioner confirming that you both remain legally free to marry and that you will marry within 90 days of your arrival in the United States.

YMMV

Thank you!

 

I have however read from many people that they have scheduled the interview before attending the medical, just making sure there are enough days between the two so the results have enough time to be sent to the embassy, this speeds things up I was hoping without the 3-4 week wait for interview :)

Call Knightsbridge and see what the current scheduling is for the medical.  That will be helpful information for you to make some decisions
