Just an info I think i need share to you.   I remember you said you are not Japanese. I am not either. 

So according to some cases I saw online, There are quite a few people who interviewed in Japan but not a citizen need to fill out form Ds-230 and send back after receive Package. I don't know if it is your case, just tell you in case.

Also check this: smokeface’s fiance also applying from Tokyo and a foreigner this was the packet they received, no mention of ds230 but overall worth checking:

There are topics on vj if you search for ds-5535.

 

I'm so sorry for this.. they usually say it resolves 2 weeks to 3 months.. but I’m not really sure about that either. It is a rather new form implemented since May 2017, so not much info is around.

Come to London @Naes!  You can use our address  Lol  But before you get too jealous, the medical fee here is ridiculous.  There’s only one clinic you can use and they charge you £300 (over $400) just for the exam.  Missing vaccinations cost £35-£60 a piece.  My fiancé was actually born in Hungary so when we saw those prices, we briefly considered scheduling there instead. 

@Kswtangel I was born in Romania and have some missing vaccination too. Td and MMR. Although, I had vaccines for measles and rubella in childhood, but no mumps. So far, the Knightbridge clinic told me to come and they will figure it out which vaccines I need. I want to avoid paying that much for vaccines, as I can go to the GP and get them done there. The problem is my GP is so clueless though😖.  What vaccines did your fiancé get?

Be prepared this may take some time to adjudicate.

hmmm... but as i recall since me and my fiancee got an RFE enclosed with that is they only asked letter of intent to marry from me the Beneficiary... thats why we only made one letter of intent... Would that be just fine or should my Fiancee(Sponsor) would have to make a letter of intent to marry the same format like mine that i can bring to the Embassy?

The DS-230 is the old version of the DS-260 is filed in paper form whereas the DS-260 is the online version. I would be surprised if they are still using this form. Maybe those who are asked to fill the DS-230 is given to them at the interview to complete and return. Never heard the request for this document since early 2017.
