Quick question about when embassy will contact fiance.

[Kurai 0]

Hello everyone, the title of the thread pretty much explains my concern. It has been almost 8 weeks since NOA2 and it has been 18 days since the DoS issued a letter stating our K1 application has been mailed to London. ( The letter that requests that he fills in the DS-160 online ) But he still hasn't been contacted by the London embassy. Is this a normal wait time or should we start calling the embassy every few days?

If it's any help on the http://www.ceac.state.gov website it states that his status is ready. Does that mean that mail is on the way?

Thanks for your time.

Probably on the way. You can call the department of state to get your case number (LND #), most likely (if you get that, you can book your medical and get on with the forms).

The letter is just your LND and a link to this page with what to do next: http://london.usembassy.gov/iv_15.html

Remember that it's been the Xmas period, so the embassy was closed for quite a few bank holidays and likely short-staffed. Could be they simply haven't got as far as your file yet to mail your letter.

The embassy is basically impossible to get on the phone. If you want to contact them, find the contact form on the embassy website.

Thanks for the quick response, Lost_at_Sea. We already have the LDN number from the DOS issued me a letter that requested him to fill in the DS-160 I believe. As long as we have that number is it safe for him to schedule a medical without actually hearing from the London embassy?

Thanks again.

Yes but remember that your medical is tie to your K1 expiration date.

I am not interviewing in London Consulate but I know this from reading the forum couple of times a day.

Apparently the packet 3 was lost in the mail, but the DOS sent me a letter with his case number on it. Does that mean he's safe to start scheduling the medical and let them know he's ready for the interview once all the paperwork is ready, even if he didn't receive Packet 3?
