VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED. 

Went into the embassy for my interview at 1.30 left at 1.52. Wow, can't believe it went by so fast. 

Was asked 4 questions and that was that..

Nothing like hearing those words,

"It's my pleasure to welcome you to the United States of America." 

CONGRATS!!! Wow that went quickly!!! What questions were you asked? I'm so nervous and excited...

Hello everyone! 
 

@Linos how did you do your medical before receiving your interview letter? I thought the letter was required before a medical could be scheduled?

Should I schedule the medical while I wait for an interview date and to be transferred to to the embassy? I was Documentarily Qualified (DQ) on 03 May 2021 and my case is still with the NVC.

Hello everyone,

 

After reading all the replies in this thread,  it looks like recently people are receiving their Interview letters 3 months after DQ date.

 

Has anybody with a DQ date from March, April, or May received a letter yet or had their case moved from the NVC to the embassy yet? I’m hoping to get an idea as to when I may receive my notice.
 

thanks 🙏

Hi there,

 

My DQ is April 21st. Yes, it seems people receiving interview letters 3 months after DQ date but we need to consider that it will ramp up with all the restrictions liftings. Let's be hopeful!

 

Also, regarding your medical appointment questions, I already got my medicals despite not having an interview date. :)

No way, I’m going to try and schedule mine this week then! Thanks for sharing. 
 

Is there an issue with having the medical exam too soon? 
 

Did the Mater forward on your results or did you receive a sealed envelope that you have to bring to your interview?

Apparently not, just that your medical should not be later than 6 months before your entrance in the US when you have the visa. But if you book right now, you won't have any appointment before a month. When I was at the hospital the guy asked if I have received an interview date. I said no, and that was it. I just don't know if the receptionist when I called for booking just put a note in my file.

No envelope, they just forward the results. From the document I read, this is a database shared with the Australian Government that the Embassy will be able to consult.

I was emailing the Mater about the medical records required and asked them if I could book an appointment without having my interview scheduled and they booked me in (this was back in April not sure if it's changed now because of how busy they are)
