Hello,

So finally have a date for an interview. According to them they expedited the case although it was approved October 5, 2015 and was just able to make the visa interview date yesterday...

So now I wanted to get some help.. Not sure what goes on now..

Fingerprints? Medical exams? Form DS-260?

Where can I get that form since the 3rd of February he's going to get his fingerprints taken.

Medical exam I know we need to pay for.. But where can I get that form?

Anybody know what kind of questions they ask.

We just want to be extra prepared this process took forever 17 months almost. But finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

With an expedite your case is going to be a bit different but I would start with the embassy website for medical information.

Hi,

So it sounds like you have the interview and VAC appointments scheduled? I'd recommend he go for his medical and the VAC appointment (fingerprints) on the same day. Medical first, and then go over to Galeria360. You can find form DS260 through the ceac site, where you pay the fees. He will need that confirmation page for his VAC and medical appointment. Then in the profile, make sure to add the confirmation number from that. You'll get an email with the appointment confirmation, and it will include 2 barcodes. He has to print the email out and bring it with him to everything. This is what is normally known as the appointment letter. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions, I'm happy to help.

I'm sure you know how picky they can be in DR sometimes, over the littlest thing... I didn't want him to have any issues and delay anything, so I emailed USTravelDocs support, and asked them to add it in. When I tried to add the confirmation number to his profile, I would get an error.... I guess the profile can't be edited once you have an appointment or something. So I emailed support and they added it in on the back end. Then they emailed me the new appointment letter with both barcodes.
