NVC case number Rec'd- AT NVC- Can i book medical before interview ?

[OsmanMCFC 19]

 Hi All,

 

Firstly, I am new to the site in terms of asking a question and being a user but I  have been following posts for information for over a year now and would just like to thank every single one of you who has contributed in any way specifically in regards to the K1 Visa process, It's been long and gruelling but were almost there !

 

We recently (finally)  received our NVC case # couple days back and I would just like a brief summary on the next steps, I have already completed my DS 160 and upon checking my case status it is 'At NVC'.

 

My question would be when can I book my interview ? & can I book my medical without having an interview date set? 

 

I am assuming I book an interview when the case status is 'Ready' then proceed to book a medical ?

 

or can i book my medical then book the interview when the case is ready ?

 

Sorry if this was a confusing question and thank you all once again.😃

You have to wait until it's “Ready” and that’s when the consulate has your file and you can proceed with booking interview/medical.

Hey Wolf, 

my case was approved april 21st, it looks like its taking 70-90 days to get the NVC case number. I could be wrong.

 

Hang in there, you've got this!

Our case took about 4 months to go from USCIS to NVC.   On 7/20, I received email from NVC, notifying us that our case was being forwarded to Bangkok Embassy and that it would take 2-3 weeks before it would arrive in Bangkok.  The next day (7/21), I got an email notifying me that we could schedule the interview.

Thanks for sharing Stook,

 

Best of luck with the interview and process.

 

My case is still 'At NVC' hoping it will be shipped next week, on one of the shipping days according to the groups which are Tuesday and Wednesday's every two weeks.

Thank you. Fortunately, we were approved last Thursday.
