Hi

Can anyone tell me how long I should expect to wait before hearing when my London interview date will be, for K1 visa.

I received my packet 3 on May 3rd

I returned my forms to London by special delivery on May 7th - including the DS2001 and cover letter to say that I have all required documents

I had my medical on May 10th and I know that the embassy have received the results as they were able to confirm this when I phoned to pay my fee on May 17th, however they were unable to confirm they had received my other paperwork.

I am just wondering how long it usually takes to then receive a letter with the interview date? I am a little anxious having already experienced a 6 week delay when USCIS apparently 'mislaid' our file before sending on to NVC!

Should I contact the embassy again or keep waiting?

Would love to hear from anyone currently going through this stage of the process

Thanks

When I called the Embassy about mine, they said it usually takes 6 weeks from the moment they receive your forms. It actually ended up taking 5 weeks for mine. Take a look at my timeline for dates.
You should definitely just be patient, they have a lot of forms to get through and yours will come up soon! Try to keep yourself busy while you're waiting, read up on the interview and make sure you have everything prepared smile.png

24th June, so still a little bit more waiting to do- I'm keeping myself busy by organising my folder for the interview, giving away my unwanted belongings to charity, packing my suitcases to check that everything fits in etc laughing.gif

Oh, and have a read through these-

I was going through them yesterday, making a list of all the important documents that are asked for. They're really helpful and give you a great idea of what the day will be like before you even go. I feel so much more relaxed and prepared now I've read them.
