Congrats how was your interview experience in Manila?

it was great! i don’t know if it was cold or i was just nervous 😂. theres only few questions and im glad i get to explain well how we met otherwise they’ll dig into it and find it suspicious. my album of pictures helped a lot too, they really check it, but everyone should double check DS form, errors there makes them think that you’re unreliable to take an oath too.😊

Hi everyone. I am new to this thread and this question may have been answered already. My case is still in transit to UK Embassy since May 18. I am wondering if I can complete the DS-160 already? What else can I do while I'm waiting? I'm just a little bit confused because I've read on some threads that in the Philippines, they can actually already book their medical once they obtain their case number, but may be different in the UK?

 

Thank you for your help.

Anyone who is from the UK & has booked their interview for London Embassy - can you confirm whether July bookings are available yet please?

You just need your NVC case number beginning with LDN to book your medical at Knightsbridge - I booked mine last week

@mariediena https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/applying-for-the-visa/ Step by step what you have to do. IF you have your NVC case number book the doctor appointment, take the pics you need for the interview, for the clinic, etc. Get the forms of vaccines and patient summary, police certificate ACRO.  As for the DS 160,  you should start filling in, you will need your previous NOA1 number assigned to you. All the info you need is in the link.

@Naes @Brittani Fiancé just had his interview @ London Embassy and WE’RE APPROVED!!!  I seriously started crying when my fiancé turned away from the counter and gave me a thumbs up with a huge smile on his face.    It really is true what they say.  All that stress and anxiety leading up to the interview and we honestly walked out of there thinking, that was pretty painless!  Good luck to everyone still waiting for upcoming interviews. It was a long 9 months for us but I’m sure it goes without saying, the joy and relief you’ll feel when you hear “you’re approved” really is amazing. 

Awww, congrats girl. I keep getting anxiety because our stupid CEAC STILL SAYS IN TRANSIT but I've figured out if your case isn't there it wouldn't let you schedule an interview. I think someone forgot to update our case online. He has his medical this Saturday. 

 

Soooo, when are you flying back over?? I love hearing approval stories especially from the UK.

Meisha, my fiance looked today just in case we have to push ours back (due to medical records STILL not being ready) and he said that July isn't up just yet but there are still TONS available for June.

Thank you for your help.

Here is what I have for UK processing from someone who was here earlier that was kind enough to share it with me to share with others. Most of this has come from the P3 from UK Embassy.

 

First of all, if you haven’t already done so, make sure you complete your DS-160 and request your police certificate.  Now that you have your case number, you can call Knightsbridge to schedule your medical exam.  You’ll need to give them your case number when you schedule your appointment.  Once you have your exam scheduled, DS-160 completed and have everything else that you need for your interview, complete the Notification of Applicant Readiness Form and when your NVC case status changes to “In-transit” you can go to https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv to create an account and schedule an interview.  Make sure that you allow at least 5 working days between the date of your medical exam and the date of your interview or risk the results from the exam not arriving in time.  For your interview go here 

https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv/  or call here 442074867822

 

U.S. Embassy London is pleased to inform you that we have received an approved petition in support of your

•        One copy of USCIS's pamphlet, "Information on the Legal Rights Available to Immigrant Victims of Domestic Violence in the United States and Facts about Immigrating on a Marriage-Based Visa.

 

Issuance of a K visa is not guaranteed. A Consular Officer will evaluate your case and make a final determination

Did any petitioners receive their Bank letter from bank of America? They told me they only show the average balance over the year rather than showing the amount deposited over the previous year (which is required by USCIS) and the banker showed me it in their guidelines for their immigration letters. Will this be okay for me due to the bank guidelines? Help!!

I can't remember how it was when my fiance scheduled his. He scheduled it like maybe on May 12th and they went up to like June 13th. That's all they were showing. So just check daily but thankfully interviews are easy to come by. Medicals not so much.

I just called the embassy in Tokyo.

Currently there are no dates available for K1 visa, and I just have to keep pushing "Home" button every hour to reload the page and see if anyone cancels their interviews or the embassy adds more dates since they don't know when the system updates... 

Then the person (who was Japanese) I talked to said, "You shouldn't make an appointment before receiving Packet 3." I almost wanted to laugh when she said this. lol

I understand that they can't give us the details or assure the answers, but this is ridiculous since we have already paid not-so-cheap-fees.

I guess I get more upset since I talked to a Japanese operator. The polite way Japanese people speak makes me really frustrated when they start talking nonsense.... lol

 

Sorry for the negative post! I needed to vent somewhere lol 

Hope everyone can get NVC number, receive Packet 3 and make appointments as soon as possible! We waited so long!

Politely rejecting you when you can feel the smile? Lol yep.

 

Packet 3 reaches really quick for Japanese people so I wouldn’t worry much and I’m sure it will open really soon! I saw it go “no dates available” twice in one week and always opened up in a day

 

meanwhile you can schedule your medical and have that ready so ready so you can schedule and reschedule later if you want.

I called NVC and they said our case is waiting in the line to be sent to the embassy. I asked multiple times and they said all processing is done and it’s just like waiting in the line to be forwarded. It seems like NVC is backlogged these days.

 

about timeframe, they said it depends on how quickly they send things to the embassy
