I'd start with the California State Board of Nursing, to see what their requirements are for becoming an RN.

The medical at SLEC is a two day process, choose the two days that fit your schedule.      You will know on the 2nd day as to whether you would get vaccinations or be scheduled for SPUTUM.

Ideas ~    Get the passport corrected
 
Appointment system at DFA has been remedied, not taking months to get an appt.   Beat feet!  Get 'er done!
 
USCIS doesn't require a copy of the beneficiary's passport with the I-129F.  
 
Seriously doubt she would lose the medical fee.

Congrats on the visa approvals guys @Rev and @Estibaliz
Thanks for the well wishes @AnJ Co but yesterday was just my Medical exam! I've got another 3 weeks until my interview
 
I didnt have chance to post yesterday, it was such a long day. I left the house at 8am to head down to London for a 15:10 medical appt. I didnt arrive home until 23:00. CRAZY and tiring.
 
Heres a detailed summary for those UK filers still to do the medical:
I got the train to London at arrived at Euston at 13:10 with 2 hours to spare (incase of delays). I walked from Euston to Oxford Street to pass some time. The walk took 30 mins but the weather was fine out. From Oxford Street, knightsbridge is only a 10 min walk. I arrived outside at 14:50 and pressed the button on the wall for flat 4 (medical centre). They let me in and the door to enter knightsbridge is to your right. The ladies on reception were very nice and told me since I was early to take a seat and come back to the desk 5 mins before my appt time. I returned, handed them all my documents (pictures X4, medical questionaire, vaccine records, patient care summary, police certificate, passport and letter from NVC). They handed me a clipboard with two forms to fill out (basically a repeat of what I already gave them, *sigh*) and a urine sample pot and bag to place it in. After filling that out I waited for ~15 mins before being called to x-ray. Very striaghtforward, take off top, stand against x-ray board and get dressed again. She said all was fine and to sit back in the waiting room. About 5 mins later the nurse called me in to discuss my vaccines. This literally took 30secs since I didnt need any vaccines doing. She explained I would receive a form at the end for my AOS (as people have mentioned on here). Now here comes the long wait ... over an hour later, I was called to see the doctor. A very nice Eastern Asian looking man. He appologised for the wait and told me that the patient before me was quote *a very, very complicated case*. He put me at ease right away by making a couple of jokes. I signed some forms and he worked out my BMI. I sat on the bed and read the bottom line of the opticians board. He checked my knee-jerk reflexes, loked over my hands and arms, in my eyes, ears and mouth and told me to lie down. He took my BP, HR and commented on how fast my heart was beating (LOL). Took some blood and asked me to unbutton my shirt. He pushed on my stomach and checked my lungs using a stethoscope. AND THAT WAS IT! A TOTAL OF 10 MINS! He then commented ... 'you're the quickest case I have done today, thank you' and told me I was all done. In total .. 20 mins in with doctors/nurses/xray and 1 hour 30 in the waiting room.
 
** a quick comment for all those who may be worrying about this: I had a previous 'serious problem' listed on my patient care summary. It clearly states in the knightsbridge email that you have to bring reports for this. I did not take any reports (didnt know where to even begin looking). The doctor simply mentioned - ahh I see you had gall stones and had your gall bladder removed at age 17. I said yes and he said thats fine. I would imagine for something more permenent - epilepsy, HIV, diabetes, MS etc you would need these reports. But for something not ongoing dont worry yourself about getting medical reports. You'll be fine with the patient care summary.
 
Sorry for the long post haha. But hope this helps someone and im glad its over with.

NVC is now in transit lol
 
im so impatient!

Thank you all for your help! I called back NVC who confirmed this all to me as well! Crisis averted, thank you for keeping me sane!

One case number for both of you dear. Once you pay the Visa fee you print 2 receipt number and pay for 2 visa fee. 

It's so frustrating! I'm eager to get everything done as quickly as possible as I finish my job and move out of my house on October the 6th, I've also been homeschooling my son so that he didn't have to start the school year here and then leave to start at another school and he's really starting to miss school and the social aspect. 
 
Hurry up NVC, we all have plans! haha just kidding 

Ha, just got home and called and got the number now.  WooHoo!!

I second your Amen!  We are really  cheering and hoping that those still waiting will get good news today!  It does seem as though they are picking up the pace a bit after summer.  

Congrats on the approval!  Actually I think I just saw that on the app
 
Amen to that. Sending good vibes so you and @vcpdragon got your NOA2's soon, and preferably this week 

Congratulations to all the approvals. Especially @Mike & Tuyen. Good luck to your next journey to forever. @Chris2870 hoping for your approval before the week ends. @Estibaliz good luck on your interview.

I have a case number already! ❤️

Correct statement.  At uscis, the beneficiary has just been petitioned to be recognized - after approval, the beneficiary or the petitioner may freely contact the NVC for information.
 
regarding option 2 - ok, this is first forum I've read that someone got a number from option 2.  If that works, then try option 7, 5, and 2 LOL  3 calls a day is better than 2, right?  
 
Sometimes, these cases have a hard time getting to the NVC.  I have seen some take 7 and 8 weeks - while others get there in days.  Seems like you have to catch the truck at the dock or wait for the next truck that comes in a week......  Anyway, here is a recent VJ member that had a similar situation, she finally got NOA2 approval and they took about 4 weeks to get her a number assigned at NVC.

Don't let this deter you too much - maybe you are already doing these, but in case..... just make sure you are busy with your evidences to take to the embassy, schedule your CFO, Start and save your DS-160, and when you get that MNL number from NVC, just step on the gas and go fast  

Thank you!!
 
This made me feel better

Hey relax! 😊You are only going to be needing the ds160 for the interview and nothing else. So even if you get the case status ready for nvc, you won't need ds160 unless you are planning to schedule interview in a week so that makes you still have 7 days to finish. I suggest you go to a place where internet connection is good. And good luck it's a lot to fill up actually 😊

Best wishes.  We're almost in the same boat.  We're at 147 days.  Sorry I haven't been here for a while as I've been a little depressed with the waiting.  I pray that we all get good news this week!
