Is this by credit/ debit card in the actual building straight after the interview? 

No, you have to pay it online, once you have the visa.

Hello Everyone, just read this website below:
 

Not sure how much this would impact, but, I would anticipate slowdown.

No not needed as it's self petition

When I went to the embassy last week to go over my documents before my interview in 10 days time, he asked me if I was self petitioned, then he ticked the 'OK' box on pink slip that said 'Avvidavit of Support/ Proof of Assets'. I took nothing to do with financial proof. I am self petitioned EB1 A. Alien of Extraordinary etc etc...

Yes, that’s right for EB1A, we’re self petitioned. But other EB cases aren’t, and I know this is a thread for EB1A applicants but @A.K.D. hasn't specified which type of EB case he’s asking about.

 

This is part of the reason it’s so important for us all to fill in our timelines - partly because then we’d know what kind of case people are asking about, but also to pay it forward and help all of the other EB applicants out there. Please fill yours in too, thx.

My case is EB1C. I am too early in the process to submit my timeline. I have just received the welcome letter from NVC and trying to prep for the next steps.

You’re not, please fill in up to this point (I-140 etc). It’s still very helpful.

 

So if you’re EB1C you don’t require AOS, but you do require other docs from your employer as it’s not self petitioned. Your company's lawyers will prepare the docs and help you with that. 

 

Good luck.

Hello All,

I just booked my interview for 24th March using AIS website - I accidently happened to log onto the website and for a change it was not showing busy! so I hastily booked a date.

 

@KVVO I see you mentioned that the person in Embassy ticked off OK on pink slip that said 'Affidavit of Support/ Proof of Assets' - so I reckon all is ok?

[EB1Aspirant 4]

@KVVO Sorry to bother you- I wanted to ask if you could share your experience with medicals?

As the process has changed to visit the Embassy after the medicals, can you please mention what time was your medicals & how long did it take?

 

Our medicals is scheduled at 10:30am and we're 3 of us (including 3 year toddler!)

I was wondering if we would be rushed to reach the Embassy as I read many of the applicants take around 90mins to 2hrs at the medicals.

 

Many thanks for your time.

Hi! We (my 20 year old son and myself) were also in at 10.30am and they make sure that you are seen so there's enough time for you to get down to the Embassy. I would get an Uber as it takes the stress out of the situation. It's about £18. They tell you at the medical it's between 12pm-1pm to get to the Embassy but it's actually until 2pm. I asked her and said I was concerned we weren't going to make it but she smiled and said not to worry! They let the embassy know that you are heading down there so when you get there you already on a list. I would get there earlier (for medical) if you are at all anxious as it seems to be first come first serve basis...

 

At the Embassy go to the window on the road first, they will give you a pink slip and then you go to another door which will take you through security, then another entrance with more checking. Then you go upstairs to get officially checked. We saw 2 different officers. It's all very well organised!

 

You will see 3 separate doctors. 1. Chest X ray. 2. Vaccinations. 3. Doc for medical check up/ go through report/ eye test/ weighed/ measured and blood test if you need it. Good Luck!
