Receiving Letter from Embassy prior to booking Interview - London

[SA21 20]

Apologies if this is in the wrong thread - I wanted to ask if anyone has recent experience of receiving any physical letter in the mail from the embassy in London once a case is sent (K1) from NVC, and if we need to wait to receive this before scheduling an interview?

 

Our case shows In Transit on CEAC but I have all my documents ready and medical booked, the system allows me to schedule an interview so just wondering if there is any further paperwork I need to wait for or if I’m good to continue of course once CEAC shows Ready?

 

Many thanks!

Nope, I received my physical letter a few days ago, but I was approved on July 1st. I booked mine as soon as it let me and printed off the digital version, it is exactly the same.

Thank you Nylar! So we just need to take the print out confirmation to the interview? Also how long did you have to wait before your CEAC showed Ready?

Yeah that's what I did, can't recall if it was required but I had it anyway just in case, I think the DS-160 is more important.

 

I can't remember how long it was exactly, but I was able to book my interview the next day after I had notification it was in transit. My interview was 2-3 weeks later and there were no issues. Can't imagine it takes long for it to reach the UK.

 

Best of luck!

Hi! How did you book your medical while it was 'In Transit'? Mine is in transit and trying to get ahead. Thank you!!

Hi DanElst,

 

You have to call Visa Medicals to schedule an appointment, they will ask for your LND number and give you options of first availability, as far as I know medicals are valid for 6 months prior to entry to the US, so just make sure that your medical date covers that time frame. Once schedules I received an email with instructions on what to bring, vaccination requirements and a medical questionnaire to complete, in terms of visa paperwork, they accept the email/letter sent by NVC which shows the LND number and visa type so I printed off a copy to take.

 

Hope that helps!
