[UK-USA-K1 128]

okay that makes sense, i am probably going to send mine after then same as u, just to be safe, sounds like you guys are very organised!

Yes, these boards, and in particular the UK forum have been a godsend in that department

[VisaParaUnSueno 9]

Just wanted to add my progress for anyone thats interested since yesterday - when we got our Case number 28 days after receiving NOA2 and 6 days after receiving notification that it had been shipped from TSC to NVC:

- Status at NVC had changed to 'In Transit' by the end of the business day, which I take to mean its now enroute to the embassy in London (w00t!)

- With the Case number I booked medicals for myself and my two kids with Knightsbridge Doctors just after 9am this morning - first available appointment date was Weds 7 Aug.

Thanks for the pointer to look at the London forums too. GL everybody.

Hello Fellow VJ,

When would you recommend the medical record to be set like 2- 3 weeks out from the date it was sent to embassy? I will call the NVC now and get more details is there any specifics I should ask for? Also I can track my case the the DHL with the case number too right? your so helpful thanks

Currently, London medical is scheduling appointments for August 7 (from a post I read today. They are generally 2 weeks out most of the time. If you schedule your medical once you have your number you should be fine as it usually takes less than 2 weeks from the day they assign your number until it's received in London. It all really just depends on how big of a hurry you're in.

Well we are in a big hurry b/c my Fiance's student Visa will soon expire and He and I would hate for him to pay over $6000 in student visa fees and school if we have faith that he will be able to come here so that would be a waste of $. But nothing is set in stone so we are kinda winging it and hope everything works out well with the timing. I wonder if we talk to the U.S. Embassy about his student visa he will get a quicker interview. We are just going by fate b/c God forbid he is not able to come after interview, plan B would be for me to go live with him there and in that case he would want to continue his education...

But thanks for your guidance!

Good luck in your journey!!!

Got packet 3, so happy i got it via e-mail and i should schedule my interview date by e-mail too.

I wonder if the reason why cases are delayed being sent to NVC is because TSC employees working from home. They only go into work to turn in completed forms and pick up new cases.

[Strictly4theluv 10]

Once they got my case I had number in 10 days .... It's when they transfer to embassy I get hairy ... Dis says it ready for interview but th consulate says they not have it

Here we go again

Hey Angelina or If anybody can help me! I need a lil bit of light in here! Lol

Just got my case number on monday when randomly an without having any expectation i called NVC.

they said that same day my case got there (or something like that) And that my case number is.... Blablabla.

Then they told me that in aprox 2 weeks (i hope is less) they will send itto the embassy.

Do u guys know how much it takes from getting number to arrive to embassy?

And also that link where you can check ur case status it doesnt recognize my case number... When is the tracking consulate link starrs to be worthy? Onces they send it to embassy? Cause if its that i might need to wait since they told me they havent sent it yet...

Ahhh!!!! So over this process

Thank uuuu

Hey, so you put in your case number and make sure that above says "immigrant visa" link: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?

It works from the beginning. When they haven't sent it yet it says "at NVC" and when they sent it it says "in transit". I got my case number friday and it was "at NVC" till monday and monday it changed to "in transit". Since they use DHL express it doesn't take long to get to the embassy BUT maybe it's different from embassy to embassy.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but if you want to IM me with any questions on the London Embassy, I will answer as best I can. We are currently through packet 3 and awaiting our medical.

I think they say two weeks for those people who don't check online and to keep them from calling back. It takes 2-3 days to get it sent, a week to get to the embassy and another few days for the embassy to contact the applicant stating their readiness for the applicant to file the forms. This is about 2 weeks so if they get people to wait 2 weeks they won't have to call back asking where it is. At least that's my theory
