As soon as you have your LND number you can call and book at Knightsbridge.  I would go ahead and call them today if you can and get your appointment booked as they are usually booked about 2 weeks out from the day you call.  As soon as we had our LND number we booked the medical and had no issues.

Really? Ok well that's good, I'm going to give them a call in the morning then. I really want to get the DS-160 filled out whilst I'm in work but i know i cant do that either.

As long as you don't submit the DS-160 until after CEAC says Ready then you can go ahead and get started on it.  You need to write down your Application ID number and you can work on the DS-160, it will save as you go along, and then you can exit out and come back in with that number to finish it and submit it.

Ah okay, thank you for helping me out, it really is appreciated

So I called USCIS yesterday and requested to speak to tier 2. But I wasn't able to and The person I spoke to was really nice and helpful. Uscis received my reply to RFE on July 17th even though I sent it in much earlier. They said in order for me or my lawyer to inquire I need to wait 60 days. And usually a response is sent out within 60 days after receiving a RFE. It will be that long on September 14th. As I was saying, I called despite knowing this because I am sure people who are waiting for  NoA2 since February can understand my feelings. The person gave me the info that I already knew in a little bit more detail. She said that the website will update on the 15th or 16th this month and they should definitely send me and most of us a respond. 

Thoughts? Advice? Because I know some of you haven't even received a RFE and are waiting from February. What are you anticipating from uscis in the next 7 days?

I had a successful POE yesterday in Toronto, Canada.  Customs was not busy at all and the agent who talked to me was really nice.  I landed in Dallas in the evening and am now in our apartment trying to organize all my stuff (ie plotting where to put his things so I have more space in the closet lol).

We didn't book our medical until after the completion of the DS-160 simply because that's the order that the London consulate website instructed. The thing is, it didn't matter because it took 1 hour to complete the DS-160 and then we scheduled the medical on the exact same day.

That's good to know, as it went into transit last night I'm hoping by tonight / tomorrow morning it goes to ready and i can get everything done and dusted tomorrow  

[RaptureSongbird 533]

Visa in Hand!!!

 

Now I just have 41 days to wait until I'm in London and 49 days until we fly back to the states together with POE at Chicago O'Hare.  In the final home stretch now

If it's in transit, they use an electronic system, it will be ready in 24 hours or less most likely.

Once my status for my case at NVC online says ready that means it has reached the embassy ?  I can fill out the ds-160 and take care of embassy stuff ?

[Lindzray 43]

APPROVED!!!

 

My fiancé had his interview today at the embassy in London. The entire process took less than 40 minutes. They asked for all the documents of the list, congratulated us on our engagement and then asked 1.) How we met, 2.) How many times he's been to the US, 3.) Asked if he met any friends or family while visiting, 4.) Asked if he had brought his dog over to the US (since that's how we met - long story), and then he said congrats again as your visa has been approved. My fiancé said he floated out of the embassy.

 

I want to say thank you to everyone on this forum for sharing your knowledge and your journeys. We found this forum only after our lawyer dropped the ball and forced us to play a lot of catch up. Through the sharing of your knowledge and personal experiences we were able to pick up the pieces and take our visa process from NOA2 all the way to approval. We've learned so much from you all.

 

Now we wait for the visa to be processed!!!

 

To those still waiting, this is the places to get answers. Keep asking. Keep sharing. I love the power of knowledge created here.

 

I'm sending all the positive vibes to each and everyone of you.
