I know I have to wait for Packet 3, Packet 4, the Medical Exam blah blah blah

My 1st question is when the heck do you take the medical exam? Anytime before

the interview or after the interview? Will there be another fee involved for taking

the medical exam?

My 3rd question to those of you that got approved recently is that how long

did it take for your cases to get to your respective embassies after it

was completed at the NVC? I am just trying to get a general timeframe

so that I can start making travel arrangements.

Any helpful responses would be much appreciated.

You should be able to take the medical exam anytime after you have the case number. Yes, there will be another fee involved, but it depends on the doctor as there is no worldwide set fee. You should do it before the interview. The visa cannot be granted until a satisfactory medical exam has been done and the results given to the embassy. There will only be certain doctors who are allowed to do the exam for you, and the info will be in packet 3.

The time to get from the NVC to the embassy varies by country. I believe you can find a rough guideline for your country on the timeline page here.

I realize that it varies by country. I can see that some of them take up to 3-4 months, is this a good average to take inito account as far as wait times are concerned?

My 3rd question to those of you that got approved recently is that how long

did it take for your cases to get to your respective embassies after it

was completed at the NVC?

It takes from 1 to 2 weeks for local embassy to receive the case once NVC completes it.

Good Luck
