There are two medical facilities have you contacted the other to see if they are in agreement with the one she visited this past week?

As the medical exam is time sensitive, she did not pursue other options, just get it done. One thing my fiancée did observe is that many people that brought in their vaccine records, ended up paying more money for vaccines. She also compared the prices from her local clinic to that of the consulate medical center, and she said that the consulate medical center was cheaper. I thought they were more expensive.

I have heard from other country's that sometimes they are more expensive. Some are less. Some include it in the medical exam price and it doesn't matter if you get one or get four it's all covered under the one price. The Philippines medical exam is like that where all shots are given at the exam and covered under the exam price. Recently that was $265 for the medical exam and vaccinations.

There is a function here where you can send private messages/conversations to each other where no one else can be a part of them unless you invite them. Just select the person's name, then on the next page look to the right of their picture and you will see "message". Select it and an "email" looking box opens and that's how you start a conversation. The individual you are contacting will also get a notice that they have mail from you and then they too can read it. Once you have establish a conversation at the top of the conversation thread you will see your name, their name and an "invite" button. select it and type in the persons nik and now they too are part of your conversation. It's a neat feature. Give it try.

Wow, the Dominican Republic charged my fiancée and her daughter $904.00 USD. They were charged for the medical exam, vaccines, and x-rays. Well, she's worth it! 😊

ieeks. That is a lot. That is the first time I have heard that high of a price. That sounds like it way too much.

Mine was $544 and I had already had all the vaccines except two that they charged me for. If I didn’t have proof for the others it could’ve gone way up! And that’s in NZ!

8. Tracking your case. As a K1, when checking your case online at CEAC.state.gov you have to select　"immigrant visa" as it is treated as such even though it is a　"non-immigrant visa".

 

How so when the DS 160 is clearly marked non-immigrant visa application?

I need some guidance here: People with Abu Dhabi experience, please chime in.

 

So NVC sent my case to Abu Dhabi on 01/22/2019. I have tried tracking the pkg and got error (using the suggestions on here).

 

On the Abu Dhabi Consulate page, each time am asked to fill out the DS 160 before proceeding. How do I even know they received the NVC package?

 

Am not sure what to do next here. And what is this Packet 3 & 4 that keeps popping up in conversations?

while k1 is a non-immigrant visa, it is processed by the immigration visa unit at the state dept.  after the interview, if u are approved, then it will change to non-immigrant in CEAC just as they prepare to stamp the visa in the passport.  before that time, u will track it under the immigrant visa section of CEAC.

The beneficiary can submit the DS160 anytime after NOA2.  So if ur the beneficiary, u can submit it now.

In our case (Kuwait) the Embassy used the info from the DS160 to send P3 via email to the beneficiary including detailed instructions on what to do next. Also in Kuwait the Embassy set the interview date/time in that same email.
