Congratulations!! Looks like they are catching up pretty fast. And yes, it was yesterday. Very easy process; they asked a few health questions and did some labs & sent the results directly to the embassy. 

@DAgg did they require the COVID vaccine as part of the medical?

No, only the required other vaccinations.

because of the current lockdown my wife can not schedule her medical until the end of the month. 

[lowell1123 6]

they do not require for you to get vaccinated but you cant leave the country until you are fully vaccinated so either way you will have to get vaccinated if you want to leave your country

@DAgg @At175 @shosholala Did you submit your documents via post to the embassy 2 weeks prior to your interview? Or are we allowed to bring them with us to the interview? Did you register for your medical exactly 3 weeks prior to your interview date or were you allowed to register ahead of that time like a month prior?

Hope it's ok to ask a process question here. We are post DQ waiting for IR-1 interview. What comes first... NVC email with the interview date or notification that the case is in transit to the Consulate? 

how long did you wait for the approval of the NVC documents?

[lowell1123 6]

YOU WILL GET AN EMAIL OR LETTER FROM NVC SAYING THAT YOU HAVE A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT FOR YOUR INTERVIEW. THATS THE TIME FOR YO TO GET YOUR MEDICAL DONE. AFTER YOUR MEDICAL YOU JUST NEED TO WAIT FOR YOUR INTERVIEW APPOINTMENT

[lowell1123 6]

APPROVAL FROM NVC? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT DQed ALL DOCUMENTS? FOR THE NVC TO DQ ALL DOCUMENTS THE WHOLE PROCESS TOOK THEM ABOUT 3 MONTHS BECAUSE OF REQUESTING DOCUMENTS AND WAITING

You can do either way, either mail them or bring them with you. Honestly, I'd recommend mailing them just because it was faster going thru the documents at the window since they had everything already. 

You are allowed to register for the medical prior than 3 weeks before, it doesn't really matter I think.

Hey they asked me how I met my husband and like what job he did; if he ever came to Albania. 

Then, because I had been in US before, they asked me couple questions about my stay there.

 

Good luck in your interview!! Let me know if you need anything else!

@At175 You made my day by replying thank you again! 😊

 

When you send your documents via post to the embassy, do you recommend a shipping company Posta Shqiptare or DHL? Did they give you a tracking number for you to verify your post got delivered? Also, did you have to send the original i864 documents via post or is it not needed as the embassy should have that on file already from NVC? Because I read online that whatever documents you send via post, you will get the originals back and the embassy will keep copies. 

 

Last question and I want to thank you one more time. What did you bring to the actual interview itself? Your visa interview letter, passport, 2 photos, and was there anything else that helped you in your interview? 

 

I'm very happy for you and your spouse!  Thank you so so much for your responses and your help you don't know how much better I feel with your guidance!
