It’s been two or three weeks since I saw the schedule, but there were three open Thursdays in October and every Thursday in November except for Thanksgiving. 

 

They didn’t have December dates posted yet.

Hi just want to update you guysss,

 

So we got NOA2 approved 2 weeks ago October 4, 2018. We found out through checking online than the same day my fiance contacted the embassy on what should she do next and if she can schedule the interview. The responded the next day saying they received and electronic copy and waiting for the hard copy but until than you can fill out the DS160 form, I-129 form and have all the forms ready. She contacted them again and this time they responded Wed October 10, 2018, I believe they were closed on Monday Otober 8,2018 due to colombus day. They are really quick with responding to email, takes them a day or two at most. When they responded on Wed. they said that they have scheduled her interview for October 16, 2018 and they usually require the documents to be submitted a week prior to the interview but they said to submit it by Thursday October 11, 2018. She had completed her Medical on Wed. October 10, 2018 as well but they said she wont get her report until 5 business day. We didnt know to reschedule the visa interview cause she wouldnt have her medicals but she decided to just go in and give all the documents. When she went they (US Embassy) told her its up to her if she wants to submit the documents later that is fine or she can reschedule the visa interview. We decided its best to stick with the interview date cause who knows when the next open date would be. So today Monday OCtober 16, 2018 she had to go back to the hospital for a follow up and everything went well and the good thing was that they gave her the MEDICAL REPORT. Now all we have to do is wait for the VISA interview tomorrow. Just wanted to let you guys know about our processes. AGAIN THIS IS FOR US EMBASSY IN ZAMBIA.
