Need help clarifying the next steps after NOA2 (UK) .. CEAC, NVC

[audaud 62]

We received NOA2 on May 15th. I will begin calling this week to see if they have our LND case number - my fiancé is from the U.K.

 

My plan is the following, once we get our case number:

Finish filling out his medical questionnaire

Fill out DS-160

Fill our notification of readiness

Book/attend medical - ???

inteview - ???

 

ive read that the “packet 3” letter isn’t required to go to your London medical, so we don’t plan on waiting for that to come in the mail if we don’t have to. Someone said that they just showed a printout or screenshot of CEAC with their case number, and it worked for the medical.

 

My question is, what exactly is CEAC and when do I need to fill it out? I know it requires our case number - I’m just not sure when to fill It out. Will it be ok to start that as soon as we get our case number so we can book our medical?

 

hopefully this makes some sort of sense, LOL. We are hoping to do things as quickly as we can. We have everything required for the interview and medical, minus the things listed above. So would we be able to just get our case number, fill out the missing forms, get CEAC filled out and then book our medical?

 

sorry if this is confusing lol

I'll try and put things in order for you

 

Your fiance needs to get the police report from all countries he has lived in.

 

Get the vaccination records from the GP and get any shots that are missing.

 

Get a medical summary from the GP along with a more detailed report of any mental health issues or major medical conditions.

 

You need to complete the I-134 and send it along with supporting evidence (pay stubs/letter from HR/tax returns etc)

 

The DS160 can be completed at any time once you have the LND

 

London applicants book their own interview date these days, I would suggest checking the availability (once your file has arrived in London and CEAC says READY) and then calling Knightsbridge to book the medical - allow at least 5 working days between the medical and interview, possibly more as they seem to be slow getting the results to the embassy lately.

 

CEAC is the case tracking service, it let's you know when your case has left NVC for London, arrived in London and when the visa is issued - you need your LND number to use it.

 

I have probably missed something so apologies in advance!

 

Hope that helps some

Perfect thank you!

We have basically everything already, such as police certificate, medical records etc. 

do you happen to know if we would be able to book his medical without him getting his “packet 3”? Someone said they showed a printout or screenshot of their CEAC page as proof of their case number and it worked. I just don’t want to wait for a letter that might take ages to come.

 

thanks so much for the explanations!

I took my letter with me, they asked for it. Mine however didn't take long to come. My fiance was also sent an email with the case number on, so I would have printed that had the letter not arrived.

All they really want is proof of your LND number so if you haven't had anything 'official' a screenshot will do.

London is pretty efficient at getting the letter out to the beneficiary so he should get it shortly after your file arrives
