How long before your interview,did you schedule medical???Like ours is in aug..when we should call med office???

My wife's physical was yesterday, her interview is two months from today. My suggestion would be to check the embassy website in the country of your significant other.

Japan's website says this:

http://tokyo.usembassy.gov/e/visa/tvisa-ivmedfaq.html

How long is a medical exam report valid for?

Medical examinations conducted in connection with immigrant visa applications have a maximum validity of six months and must be valid when you enter the U.S. The consular officer shall limit the visas validity to a period of validity of the medical examination. If the alien cannot arrive in the United States within six months of the date of the medical examination, the alien must repeat the examination.

Manila's website says this:

What is the validity of the medical examination?

Medical examinations are generally valid for 6 months.

Since you haven't filled out your profile (that's a not so subtle hint to fill out your profile and timeline) with any information that would allow us to give a direct answer, you'll have to do the work on your own.

So check the US Embassy website, click for information on Immigration Visas and then look for a section on medical requirements. In there you'll find the information you seek.

Hope this helps!

How to use automated phone system when calling NVC to check if the caseis complete... I am confused when hearing the instruction and don't know how will I enter the case number...

Thanks

If you're in the US, dial 1-603-334-0700 (adjust as necessary if dialing from overseas). At each step wait for the recorded instructions to start telling you what to do before proceeding. That said, the current system prompts are as follows:

Press 2 because you're not from Haiti. Your call will be forwarded so you hear ringing, wait for the new system to pick up and start talking again.

Press 1 for English (or 2 for Spanish).

Press 1 for immigration visa information.

Press 2 to use your NVC case number.

Now the prompts will ask you to enter the three letters of your case number. Since the foreign born spouse is in the Philippines according to your profile information, your case number will probably be something like this:

MNL2010678901 (MNL is for Manila, 2010 is this year and the remaining six digits are just numbers I typed in, you will need to use your numbers for your case).

When the automated system asks you to enter the three letters of your case number, using the above example, you would press 6 for the letter M, 6 for the letter N and then 5 for the letter L (if you look at the telephone keypad, you will see that each number also has letters associated with them). So again, that would be 665 for Manila, Philippines (MNL).

Wait for the voice to repeat what you entered and press 1 if correct, or 2 if not correct and re-enter the letters.

Next it will ask you to enter the remaining digits followed by the pound sign, so you would then enter the numbers exactly as they are in your case number. So for the above fictional case number, you would press the following keys on your telephone keypad: 2010678901#. Again, use YOUR case number digits, not the ones I made up here.

Wait for the voice to repeat back the numbers you entered and then press 1 if correct, or 2 if not correct and re-enter the digits.

This *should* get you past the part that is confusing you.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the infos you've given me.. I already tried using the instruction you gave to me... It was a great help.. Now I am getting worried because the AVR confirmed that they have received the docs for DS 230 and civil documents dated July 1, then the review will take about 6-8 weeks... So I was so upset because that the said documents were sent to the NVC dated June 25, 2010... Based on your timeline it took only a week from the date they acknowledge your DS-230 package to complete your case... So I am confused right now and getting worried as well....
