This will be the most help to you. There you can find out the process for your specific location and probably find a list of approved doctors for the medical to book an appointment. Then you'll need to fill out the readiness form. Your regional forum will also help you get in contact with your specific embassy to get instructions on what to do to prep for the interview as well as figure out how to change the date if need be. Good luck!

When it was getting close to the interview, and my fiancé had not yet received his packet, he just kept calling them and emailing them. Finally they sent the packet in the mail. Call and email and keep trying until someone answers!!! Hope everything works out for you guys.

Wow that is really cutting it close. Good call to send your fiance to the Embassy, if you cant get a response by phone or email, than going there personally is what I would most definitely suggest. Scan and email him the NOA2 and a snap shot of the scheduled appointment page that has your date and time. By the way, try calling the old numbers.... I read that this was still operable and someone was able to get information. Good Luck to you, be aggressive and don't give up until you get that packet 4.
