congrats! the first step is done!
uscis will send your case to the nvc and it can take up to 8 weeks to get the letter from them saying they sent your case to new delhi. they've recently been backed up, it took us 7 weeks to get our letter. on that letter they will tell you your new case number, which is what youll use from now on whenever looking at the status and contacting the embassy.
the government just changed their process for visas a couple weeks ago. i contacted (by email) the embassy this week and asked how to get an interview (because i knew things changed, and the embassy hadnt posted the interview schedules). this is what they replied back;
'dear applicant,
Your fiancé visa case is now ready for final processing. Please carefully follow the interview preparation steps below.
Step 1: Obtain your Police Clearance Certificate from the Regional Passport Office.
Step 2: Complete your medical examination with an approved panel physician from the list available at http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/medical_report.html.

the pcc is easy to get, but must be from the passport office like it says. heres the website.

register, fill the application, pay and you can just walk in to the office when you are ready to get it. my fiance said it was really easy and he wasnt there very long.
the medical exam can only be from the max centre and it doesnt seem hard to get in. my fiance called first and will be doing his exam tomorrow. they told him itll take a few days to receive the paperwork that he will need to bring to his interview.
you wont be able to do anything except get your pcc until you receive a letter from the embassy because you need your case number and the letter to fill out the ds160 and get a medical exam. i hope youre a patient person! good luck and i hope this helped!
