I received K1 FTP on 7th May 2024 - it says ready for interview, what shall I do next?

[Jonrodrii 1]

Good afternoon,

 

Im in the process of applying for a K1 visa, the USCIS has accepted our case back in April and has sent the case to NVC which then NVC has sent the case to my local Embassy in London, UK. I haven't heard anything from them yet considering it's been sent to the UK on the first day of this month and today is already the 20th, more than 2 weeks with no updates. What shall I Expect or do? - I believe I should have received an email from the embassy within 2 weeks, am I correct? 

 

Thanks in advance.

If it was last updated on 13th May, then it seems that is when it was received by the consulate - so I'd give it another week before chasing them. 

 

Good luck.

“If more than 2 weeks have passed since your petition has been approved and you have not received a letter from the Embassy, please contact us through the contact form.”

Keep in mind that UK applicants schedule their own interviews.

Thank you for your reply,

 

But even if I have to schedule my own interview, i should be expecting some kind of emails/mails from them correct?

I got a letter, but even without one you have your case number so should be able to fill out the DS-160 application form online and apply for and book an interview.

Thank you. Do you know how long it took you to receive that letter? Also, I’m just waiting to renew my passport in the next week so I can apply the DS160 with the new passport to avoid any problems/delays

Very quickly if I recall. I will check when I return home tomorrow evening.

 

I renewed my passport as well and was shocked how quickly the new one arrived.

The letter was helpful as it explained what to do. However, you can get the information elsewhere. Schedule your medical, apply for your police certificate and get a certified birth certificate.

Thank you Lee, 

 

I might wait until end of next week, if I don’t receive anything then I will contact the UK embassy and find out more from them.

Just crack on with getting a summary of your medical records from your GP and scheduling the medical which is valid for six months. The only document that took more than a week to arrive was my police report. Visa Medicals told me it was possible to email it later if I didn't have it again. I presume this would only work if you had no criminal record. To be safe I didn't schedule the medical until I had the physical copy.
