Call NVC and request an interview, your PD is current, and the sooner you call, the sooner you will have an interview date. Start looking where you can get the medical in your country, and Good Luck!!!

@Gamboli @Ivy25 Thank you...by the way...I received my passport and sealed packet from embassy today. Do you know where & when I have to pay the green card fees? I'm only travelling by 3rd week of July...

I believe you should have received a package with instruction to go on the USICIS website, enter your Alien number and then make a payment. I'm surprised that they didn't provide you with that after your interview?

Don't open anything that is sealed by the way (just in case), the instruction is just a piece of paper usually (attached to your passport). You could also get your Alien number from the visa on your passport.

Also about making the payment, you could pay it once you arrive as well. I don't think they will process it prior to your arrival. Once you arrive in the US you're basically "activating" your Greencard.

I can only image how happy you both are! I day dream about it every day xD. Also, I understand you have to make those payments before your travel. Sending good vibes 😊

You can find all the answers regarding to USCIS Immigrant Fee (Green card fee) here 

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Resources/F4en.pdf

 

You should receive an Immigrant Data Summary sheet including Alien Registration Number (A-Number) and DOS Case ID , along with your passport and sealed packet, to pay the fee. However, it seems that they forgot to include it. You can call the Embassy to ask about it. Or you can wait until you go to the US, and then go to the USCIS office in US to pay the fee directly (bring along your passport).

 

Paying the fee before travelling to US is recommended, however, you can pay it later after arriving the US. 

 

DO NOT OPEN the sealed packet in any case.
