Maybe it's a silly question, but I need help to understand it, I'm following this fantastic work, my NOA1  is May 13, 2022, based on these numbers my Noa 2 can be awarded between 3.2 and 2.8,

from today May 4, that means I have What to expect until the end of June? I would appreciate your answers. 

That's probably when you're most likely to have an approval or RFE by but they're likely to start May around 17th May

Honestly I am more worried about the fact I put my wrong embassy in there, they only do trade issues, not interviews...but I heard in Germany, Frankfurt or Berlin do them anyway so everything goes there anyway wish someone had insight for me about this 😧 I was told if we contact USCIS and they change it, it could delay our process my fiance called them DX ... big oofs

I've seen people get the wrong embassys all the time because they just send them to embassy based off beneficiaries address rather than the one requested so I imagine you'd be fine. If you at least have the right country, they'll send it to one of them. If you want a specific one you can contact at NVC stage and try and clarify but it is hit or miss if it goes through pre-case number and it'd be smoother to just accept the embassy given (assuming it's possible). 

 

Edit: VJ keeps thinking I'm swearing when I'm trying to say 'hit' so close to an 's' 😭

I know! I could get a 20min bus if they'd just interview me here 😭

Arranging a medical as well is just ..urgh.

Same heree!! My Medical is the same city as my embassy...I heard getting a medical there is luckily only like 30 days and it seems like the interview should also only be 30day wait so that's pretty quick, I highly doubt Germany/UK have a lot of people for the US Embassy...compared to like Philippines or like China etc :0 I think at least ><

Yeah you should be fine… I put in Munich as I thought they process K1 here as well but it‘s automatically gonna be transferred to Frankfurt I guess… saw a similar situation from a Canadian beneficiary in a group… I think it only gets tricky if someone works abroad etc.

Sorry to go off topic but does anybody have a good overview about what vaccines are required for the medical appointment? Also, is there any information on when to schedule this / what to expect?

I've sent this list to my fiancee and she's been making sure she has them all in advance.

Here! https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/vaccinations.html and https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/pdf/vaccine-requirements-according-to-applicant-age-p.pdf (according to your age). 

They might removed some vaccines from the first link, I find different informations at the moment. But I hope it helps!

Also reminder vaccines are actually only needed for AOS but it's useful to get it now so you don't have to redo a medical in US

Yeah it's pretty quick to schedule here but more an issue of having to travel twice or book super close together if possible. Either way it's leave from work, travel and accommodation 😭

Wow, that age table is super helpful. I feel I may need to have less vaccines than what I was expecting – my childhood records are a bit messy and sometimes the vaccine name translations can be confusing.
I also heard that they don't really care about the annual influenza one if your medical exam is on a period where the vaccine isn't available in your country, but I am not super sure about it. Need to research about it. 

I've found this link that contains the same table of the PDF above, I'll read it in detail when I'm done with work today too. https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/panel-physicians/vaccinations.html#anchor_1505834792677
