When should we fill out DS-160 form?

[Jen&Cal 85]

Hello we were approved on Sept 4th.

I plan on calling the NVC on the 18th to get our case number. 

My question is: Can we go ahead and fill out the DS-160 and schedule the medical before we receive the packet from the London Embassy?

If so, I know you can fill out the DS-160 online but how do you schedule the medical?

We are on a time crunch. 

 

Thank you.

You can follow the London instructions for K1 found here. https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/applying-for-the-visa/

 Start with the paragraph

If you have been notified that the petition has been approved and you have received the Notice of Action, Form I-797, and NVC has advised you that your application has been transferred to the Embassy in London for processing, you are required to complete the following steps to prepare for your immigrant visa interview.

 

Then learn the four Steps below for the order of things.

 

Then read all the details in the six instruction links at the top of the page. 

 

Shortcuts you read about on VJ can short circuit you if you don't comprehend the entire process for London and are prepared accordingly. Know the process and get all your ducks in a row before you go against what London wants you to do. I can tell you haven't read all the London instructions or you would already know how to schedule the medical and all the documents you need to take to the appointment. Sometimes your NHS GP is slow with things he has to provide. Spend a day studying what is expected before you jump off the deep end. Your process will be less stressful. 

 

Congratulations on getting the petition approval.
