Thanks wabaker95 and LionessDeon! I hope everything works out for you two as well.

So my fiance ended up paying his fee online and scheduling his interview for December 12th because there were no other dates available in December. He then scheduled his medical for December 9th even though I told him it had to be at least 10 days before the interview (he was desperate and very anxious). Well his scheme worked and he ended up completing his medical and getting his results back on the day before the interview. His interview went great and we were approved! The only setback was that I had to resubmit the affidavit of support because I forgot to check the "intend to support" box and explain how I was going to support him. I had followed the example here on visa journey and put not applicable, so just be aware that they may not accept that answer. They required an original signed copy so as soon as they receive and approve the form, they'll send the visa to my fiance! Good luck to everyone else. It's a long and frustrating process but it's so worth it.

Ok, thanks. Someone told my fiance about $30,000J but I wanted a second (cheaper) opinion lol.

Does anyone know approximately how much the medical portion will cost?

The embassy emailed him one week after paying the visa fee online that he needs to complete step 2 and schedule the interview online. Well awesome because we followed the instructions on the website that says do not continue. Ugh a week wasted! However, we were able to get a visa interview date for December 19, which is what we wanted. So all's well that ends well.

To all those JA beneficiaries working on Packet 3: Go ahead and schedule your own interview, even though their website says not to!!

Hey everyone,

My fiance submitted his DS160 at the end of October and we still haven't received an interview letter. The checklist that was mailed to me says to go online, pay the fee and schedule the interview but the few people that we've managed to talk to at the embassy (after being hung up on multiple times) say that we should wait for an appointment letter and pay the fee at the embassy on the appointment date. When I email the embassy at kingstoniv@state.gov, they say to pay online. But then, at the bottom of the auto-response email it says to pay at the embassy! We have been waiting for a month for a letter and I'm very frustrated because we are getting contradictory instructions and I really really wanted him here by Christmas

LionessDeon, I think we'll do what you suggested and just pay and schedule the interview online. Whatever happens, happens. My only question is have you already scheduled the medical appointment? If not, how can you be sure that it'll be 2 weeks before your appointment?
