Then if the fee is linked and the system allows, then schedule the interview

Right, I was wondering how long the interview is. Does it take just an hour or a few hours?

If you are in the first time group of the day you should be finished in about 2 hrs. Or less

Interview takes 3-5 minutes normally.

 

Whole process 1.5-2.5 hours normally.

Does the embassy get the results of medical instantly or does some time need to pass between medical and interview? We are hoping to get it done in 3 consecutive days.

Yeah that probably won't happen sorry. But you can safely say you will get done by about 10-11 at the latest

Your fiancee will hand carry the medical file to the interview.

 

I usually suggest to allow an extra day between day 2 of the medical and the interview, just in case of any hiccups.   Reason being the embassy requires a 24 hrs notice for cancellation/rescheduling the interview.    I know of a fair number that completed the medical and interview all in the same week.   I know of just a few that had a hiccup during the medical and without the extra day between the two didn't have the required 24 hrs.  .. it took some extra time and effort to get the embassy to open up the option to schedule a new interview.

Yes, you can do that. We have had people do that in the past.

Medical is walk-in only.   No appointment required 

Now I’m all confused. My friend (also a K1 beneficiary) who just left for the states said I need to book an appointment at St. Lukes for my medical. I’m now questioning this entire list she gave me for things I need to do once I get my NOA2. I’m all the more stressed out now. We were told by tier 2 we should hear something in the next two weeks. Our NOA1 was July 27th.
