No the medical is done in advance so the results are ready in time for the interview

Where does the medical happen? just at a local doctor?

Does the medical and interview happen on the same day?

I travelled to the USA in January while my I-129F is pending and I'm going back in March. So you are allowed to visit while the visa is pending.

Ah well thanks for letting me know. Hopefully we put enough evidence in the file for us not to get one of those. Its already taking ages and an RFE will only make this first step drag on even longer. They need to give their staff extra over time!

I filed the I-129F petition in July and I was just wondering, since we havent had an RFE yet after all this time is it unlikely that we're going to get one of those? Or can you get a RFE at anytime, even 7 or 8 months after filing?

We filed in July and havent heard anything yet. They take ages and need to get a move on! People have lives they wanna live and do not want to waste time being apart!

Just to let people know I got through the USA boarder in Minneapolis very easy. I told the officer I had applied for the K-1 visa, he asked a few questions about it then let me through. He didnt even ask to see return flight details or anything. I'm still in the USA right now and as planned I will be leaving on the 21st. Hopefully will hear about our I-129F file before I leave. Its been nearly 6 months now.

All your information and advice were great. I booked my flight just before. So bring on December 29! I appreciate every comment! They have helped me to relax.

Thanks for everyones reply. Its giving me a lot of confidence about going over and I'm going to book my flight tonight. Ps. I'm from Newcastle not London. Haha.

Well I dont have the NOA1, thats at my fiance's house. Also I dont have any property. I live with my family still. But I can take pay slips, bank statements and a letter from my work saying when they expect to have me back. If a person was to get sent home, does that affect the case? Thanks for everyones replies.

Thanks everyone I really appreciate you all replying to me. I think I'll just go ahead and book a flight and take as much evidence as I can. I'll make sure to land in Minneapolis to clear customs because every time I've landed there, they let me through with no problems. The three times I've landed in Detroit I've been taken in to passport control, asked further questions an searched. So think how bad Detroit would be if I tell them I'm planning on moving to the USA.

Hi, my name is Stephen and I live in England. Me and my fiance sent off our I-129F petition in July and have had no answer yet. I want to travel to the USA for the new year holidays but not sure if I'm allowed to while there is a pending case. Does anyone know anything about this that could help me?

Thanks.
