yes you can start gathering all the requirements already in yor end if you're the petitioner. also the beneficiary should start with the requirements as it will go fast. as for the ds-160 you can start doing it and just save it in your laptop and submit it when done paying the visa fee coz you need the bank receipt #.

I am the beneficiary... and I have most of the requirements ready  like my passport, police certificates and such things...are there other requirements needed aside from that is written on the page here the Required Documentation part? https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html

• A passport valid for travel to the United States and with a validity date at least six months beyond your intended period of stay in the U.S. (unless country-specific agreements provide exemptions).

last time i check you can call them after two weeks of receiving your NOA2. Because there is no other way of knowing information details about NVC status like USCIS we have the tracker there but the best thing is to call them after two weeks. 

thx for the usefull information.

@stat  isn't it odd that we would need to select "immigrant" for a non-immigrant visa? I thought I-129f was considered a non-immigrant visa (at least that's what it tells me on the site....https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html)

For me every time I call they told me the online date (as it is not much of a counting measure it usually only differs a day or two)

@Drillerone Start calling after 2 weeks or when you see people with the same date range is receiving theirs.

Well @Naes my online date is 5/2 but mail is 4/27.  Which date should I use to start counting?

hi guys! is there a "best time" to have the medical examination done? we just received NOA2 and I'm assuming we have to wait for NVC before it can be scheduled, but can that be done basically at any point before the interview? 

This answer really is embassy specific and it depends.
there is no "best answer."

Some embassies you can do the medical even before NOA2 was approved (though that really isn't a good idea since it can expire).
others (like mine) you MUST first schedule an interview and bring confirmation of interview to medical.

So check your country's forum and see what others are doing there.

Those are so close it doesn't matter
Keep in mind NVC is not going to magically have your case at 2 weeks.
If you really want to call that quickly, you can use the 4/27 date. But Using the 5/2 date is more smart- giving NVC a little bit more time to have your case ready and might even give you case number at the same time!
