So I scheduled the VAC and Consulate appointments. Can my husband just go to get his medical done at one of the two consulotorios or does he have to make an appt there also??

Remember for medical is good go 10 or 15 days bussines days before interview date.

If vca appoinment is with enough days before, he can do medical and vca the same day.

He can go to medical in the morning and vca in the afternoon.

Thank you everyone! He'll be leaving for his medical in the morning and going to the VAC in the afternoon. Do you all think that he'll make his 2:30 appt at the VAC? We live in Jarabacoa - well just him at the moment, and its a pretty long drive. Him and his chofer will leave around 3AM so he'll be there pretty early. Do people line up at the medical exam place? I can't believe we'll be together this month!!!!

I know traffic can be a bit crazy, my fiance's uncle took him to both appointments on his pasola and he said if they were in a car it would never have worked. Today is Friday so maybe less traffic, best of luck. He'll be with you very soon!

The total amount of days from the date I mailed in our K1 Visa application to the day my fiancé stepped foot into the USA:

1 year, 3 months and 8 days.

The amount of days from the date we mailed in our AOS to the date everything was approved (after 3 RFEs):

7 months & 5 days

Which makes our journey a total of:

2 years, 3 months, and 8 days
