No, that was it for the questions. As for the documents, I followed this check list.

I'm officially scheduled    Happy Days!! I'm booked for next Wednesday morning. Looks like they schedule on Thursdays and book for Wednesdays.

I'll update you guys next week after my interview.

 

@mimi206 They do vaccines at the medical stage, what you get depends on prior vaccines (you'll need proof of these vaccines, I had my vaccine card from when I was a child) What they give you goes onto your report which is sent to the Consulate - hope that helps! Good luck for your medical on Wednesday, I'm glad to hear you came right 

 

@WilliamSmith congrats!! Did they advise you at all on the repatriation flights? I see they did release on their website yesterday, more upcoming flights.

No problem, just prepare for a long wait. I was in there for more than 3 hours and the interview is about 5 minutes!

She's clearly misinformed. As a spouse of US citizen you are clearly exempt to Schengen Area; UK and Ireland; etc. proclamations and can transit through those countries.

Mimi, which country are you applying from? I have some other filers from Mozambique who are trying to figure out if they can enter for medical/visa interview purposes, but I don't know if they are allowed to cross the border.

[mimi206 8]

if you Have Medical letter you can cross the border, but very challenged to get permission

Did they end up getting the medical document to the consulate on time before your interview? Or was there a delay?
