Hi everyone -

My fiance should be moving to the US in the next month or so and I am starting to prepare the AOS paperwork as well. The DS-3025 and I-693 are totally confusing and I am trying to get it all sorted while my fiance is still in the UK. Does anyone know how you located an approved civil surgeon to review and sign your form?

We sent out packet 3 on Aug 1, they signed for it Aug 2 and still no word.

Try calling the Department of State tomorrow. (202) 663-1225, Opt 1, Opt 0. We filed Packet 3 on July 25, 2011 and the operator was able to give me all the details regarding when our info was logged and when our interview was.

Hi Kristina,

I started calling DOS about a week after my medical to check my status - it's way cheaper and you can get the same information. As you can see it took them a while to acknowledge receipt of my packet 3 docs (even though I know it was physically delivered before) and then a little while to get an interview assigned. However, I still haven't received the letter from the embassy so you might already have a date just no doc yet. You can ring DOS on +12026631225, option 1 then 0 to speak to someone and then they just need your London case number and the name and date of birth for the beneficiary (don't know if they asked me that because I was ringing and would have asked my USC fiance for his name and DOB) and they should be able to tell you where you're up to.

Good luck!

Thank you!! I will definitely call the DOS tomorrow!

I've sent my package 3 on 20th July, signed for on 21st July, they confirmed receipt on 3rd August, marked me as "interview ready" on the 4th and today, 9th August, they were able to give me my interview date for 6th September if that's any help.

How did you find out that you were "interview ready"? My fiance tried calling the Embassy and the operators weren't much help. Our Packet 3 was received July 25th and Medical Results were couriered over August 2nd. Still haven't heard anything :-(

Hi! I received my NOA on March 22, 2011 but when I check our status, it is pretty vague and I have no clue if anyone has even looked at it yet! I saw that one member in this thread posted something with these two milestones:

April 5, 2011 info pass appointment

April 15, 2011 biometrics appointment

How do you find out if you application is actually being looked at or if it has started going through the background check process?
