Scheduling medical

[mebinkle 3]

Finally got our NOA2 waited 2 weeks and called NVC. They gave us our case number and said that our packet had been mailed to London the week before. My question is do we have to wait for the embassy to receive our packet before scheduling our medical, or since we have our case number can we go ahead and schedule the medical.

You can schedule your medical if you want to, but do get your immunizations including flu jab done first. Make sure you can get in with your GP nurse to get a copy of your shot records or actual shots needed. It will save you time and money to take care of that BEFORE your appointment at Knightsbridge. Then you are clear sailing for your adjustment of status without seeing another doctor in the US. The shots are listed in this K1 London Guide http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/474161-london-k1-a-complete-guide/

Keep in mind that your visa will be valid for 6 months from the medical date, so if by chance you weren't planning to move ASAP, don't rush to the medical.

And recently a few people that called for appointments with their LND case number were asked if they had received their Letter from the embassy. You will have to answer "yes, I have" to get scheduled (if they ask).

He actually just called the medical center and they told him to wait because if they send the medical results before the embassy has received it, "it will cause chaos." It's a long enough process, I don't want them to lose our paperwork so I think we'll just wait until we've heard from the embassy. Thanks!

I think that is the sensible plan. The embassy has a system where they work most efficiently. When people get in a rush to try to jump the queue, it can slow it down for everyone because things are arriving before London is even aware the fiancé exists.

London doesn't do that. Each consulate has a different process.
