You still need to be hitting the ground running. I have seen instances where they were notified of an interview date, which was 3 1/2 weeks away ... so they still needed to do medicals, police background checks, visa application fees, have plenty of passport style photos on hand, gathering originals and making copies of the originals etc.

Everything you need to do will be in the appointment letter that they send you. Also, check the interview list on the embassy's web site to see if your interview has been scheduled. We all know that DR mail can be slow, so knowing ahead of time could help in case you never received it. that way you can send an email to the embassy and they can email you a copy of everything.

you should start as soon as you get your letter, but somethings you can do now, like the police background check, the passport photos, copies of your original documents, eg birth certs, and marriage certs or divorce decrees, etc.

Refer to the Guide for CR1. http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide1
