Our interview is scheduled for Dec 9th!

 

We couldn't get a medical appointment until Dec 12th however and there were no appointments for the rest of Dec, Jan, or Feb. The doctor said it would be ok, but it still has us a bit nervous.

Nevertheless you are very fortunate. Just 6 months from start to finish. That's awesome for a 129f.

 

Just curious.. did you receive packet 3 as an email or letter mail?

Some embassy's are requiring the medical prior to the interview. Some who do the interview first will either get turned away from their interview appointment when they show up for the interview without the medical and some will receive a 221(g) till a medical is produced. I don't know what Sweden's policy is but that is what I have experienced here with others.

We booked our interview but we didn't receive anything from the embassy (packet 3) 

We know about documents needed just from their site but we don't feel comfort  

Should we email the embassy?

Can't help you if we don't know your timeline or embassy. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks

1. You can start here: https://eg.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/fiancee-visa/

2. Then your portal on VJ here: https://www.visajourney.com/portals/index.php?country=Egypt

3. Then here for consulate information https://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Egypt&cty=Cairo

4. Then here for Egypt US Consulate Reviews https://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?cnty=Egypt

5. Also, visit the VJ sub-forum for your region where you can ask questions specific to your country https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/97-middle-east-and-north-africa/

 

This is the link for the interview fee payment. Complete the DS-160 and use the confirmation number to book your interview.

BC in English and Arabic - Where to get

 

You will need to go to Abbaseya in Cairo "this is the only place in Egypt to get the new BC" you will need your national ID and your mother's name in English like in her passport. It costs 150 EGP!  (prices subject to change)

 

Al-Abbaseya is a very famous building to get any civil documents you need. The easiest way to go there is to take the subway to Al-Abbaseya. Go to this building then count 3 or 4 buildings you will find an orange building, tell them that you need the translation section, go to the 3rd floor. All you need is the national ID and the mother's name exactly as in her passport. It costs 150 EGP and you will get it. It's one document in Arabic and English..

 

The same for the new marriage certificate, but for the marriage certificate they need the Arabic marriage certificate, your names in English and your mothers names in English.

 

If you want to notarize them from the foreign affairs you should go to the main building there to the officer to sign and stamp on the back then you can notarize them..

when i filled my ds 160 i said yes to the question Do you have documentation to establish that you have received vaccinations in accordance with U.S.
law? cause we thought i should take this with the medical examination 

and now when i tried to book my medical examination they told me that vaccinations are not available all over my country and they will just notice the embassy that its not available  

is that ok or i need to make anything about my ds 160 now or in my interview

If you need to up date the DS-160 you can reopen it and make changes or when you are at the embassy during the interview you can update based on your experience of getting all the vaccinations required. Keep in mind that it maybe more expensive to get them in the US after you arrive to satisfy the AOS requirements so, if possible get them while in your country. 

 

You may want to spend more time in the sub-forum for Egypt located here to ask questions that are specific to your embassy. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/97-middle-east-and-north-africa/

If you can open it and make your changes then you will still have the same confirmation number. If you decide you want to change it and can't open it then you create a new DS-160 and destroy the old confirmation and bring the new confirmation to the interview. For your situation, I would bring the old and let the CO at the interview make the correction. It's done all the time without incidence.
