My fiance has his interview on Feb 13th. He still hasn't receive an email or letter from London Embassy saying they have his case (our case is ready though!). Do we need this email or letter to bring to his interview?
You need the DS-160 confirmation with the barcode and the confirmation/instructions from the appointment website. What you do need for the medical, though, is something from the NVC or the embassy that says your petition was approved AND that has the case number (we had the letter from NVC, I don't think we ever got anything from the embassy other than an email to my fiancé after the DS-160 that directed him to the interview appointment website (we printed that, too).

Anyone having the interview in Feb and still taking the 2016 tax papers for evidence? That should be okay right? Or should we start filling in 2017 taxes and present that?
2017 tax return (i.e., reporting 2016 wages) should be fine. I did 2014, 2015 and 2016 tax returns and included by 2017 W-2s and 1099s.

My fiancé had his visa approved at the interview yesterday. CEAC tracking showed it as AP yesterday. Today it shows "Ready" with the text "Your case is ready for interview." Anyone else see this after approval before it was marked as issued?

Our visa was approved today! It felt not quite done, done at first because it couldn't be officially approved because they had not received the medical yet. (Don't get me started on the Knightsbridge Doctors.) But, after the interview, my fiancé called KD, and they apologized and got the medical couriered over today, so hopefully there won't be any delay in getting the visa. And after all that waiting, and snafus with KD, like a lot of people have said, the London Embassy interview was the easiest part of the whole process. The CO asked my fiancé three questions. He was there less than half an hour.

There is a branch of Mail Boxes Etc in Vauxhall that will keep bags for you. They only charge £2 for the first hour then £1 for every additional hour. That being said, there were plenty of people with rucksacks when I was there.
How big were the rucksacks?

Have any interviewees at the new embassy found any place nearby that will store bags? My fiancé will have a rucksack with him - it would be considered cabin-size baggage, but it's unclear if that size is allowed or if no bags at all are allowed. He's called the nearby Sainsbury's, Waitrose and a few hotels in the area, and none of them will store bags.
Has anyone had any luck finding storage?

Also, I believe you have to sent a certified copy - generated by a government agency. Not just a photocopy you make yourself.

Hi all,
Question for you all!
Approved at USCIS December 19
Arrived at NVC January 19
Assigned case number at NVC January 22.
They say they will be sending it to the consulate by the end of this week.
When I check the CEAC website and enter my NVC case number, it says I need to follow "six steps" and submit a whole bunch of forms and docs to NVC and pay the fees BEFORE they send it to the embassy.. however I was under the impression that NVC simply assigns it a number and sends it directly to embassy without all these steps in the middle. Then everything else is with the embassy. Correct?
That text is old and irrelevant to K-1. And, yes, you are correct, NVC assigns the number and forwards the petition to the embassy. Everything else is done through your embassy.

ugh... I just need to vent! 7 weeks now waiting for nvc, they said they don't have record of my case, called uscis again they told me last week my case was sent out on tuesday Jan 16 and that it should reached nvc by friday... nvc said nope we don't have nothing please contact uscis again, i called uscis again and the guy who answered didn't transferred me to a Tier 2 officer, and he said it can take up no 90 days for NVC to get the case!!! are they kidding me! approval is valid for 4 months and they will take 3 months to ship cases from one location to another!!!!!!!!!! have anyone else being told this non sense information????
90 days is the standard answer. It's the cover their asses answer. If it was actually sent on Jan 16, then it should get to NVC this week.

About how long did it take to get to you? Our case was received on the Jan 17th and the medical is scheduled for the Feb 6th. Do you think that's ample time?
Yeah, I think we got ours about a week after our case showed "ready" at the embassy.

Hello! Sorry to interrupt but I was a little confuse and curious. My case is at NVC and my fiance just scheduled his medical appt for Feb. 6th. Do we need that physical letter stating our case is at Embassy for the medical?
You need a letter that says your petition was approved and that shows your NVC case number. Ours came from NVC.

Ah darn I just tried. No luck. Maybe they don’t do the numbers like that anymore, that post was from 2011. Waiting game continues.
At one point I talked to a helpful person at NVC, who said they scan everything and send it electronically.

Thank you 😊- is this something we get once we've scheduled the visa interview? Sorry for so many questions!
Well, as soon as you schedule your medical, you can go on the embassy website and fill out the notice, and then it takes you through the rest of the steps to pay the fee and schedule the interview.

Hi just read your post - quick question - I'm at the stage where I've submitted DS160. I'm just awaiting my ACRO police cert to arrive so that I can book the medical and visa interview.
In your post above it mentions paying a fee for DS160? "submit the DS-160 and pay the fee." Is there a fee? I wasn't prompted to do this on the website?
Thanks in advance. Just anxious and wanting to make sure I'm doing everything perfectly.
Sorry, I guess I abbreviated too much! You pay the fee on the next step after the DS-160, when you fill out the "Notice of Readiness."

Quick Question:
Typically, how long is the wait for an interview? If I got approved tomorrow and called for an interview, what time frame am I expecting? 2 weeks? A month?
You schedule your own interview. Yes, there are appointments at the London Embassy from 1/31 onwards. But your petition needs to show "ready" at the embassy on the CEAC tracker, you have to book your medical first, submit the DS-160 and pay the fee. And THEN you can book your interview appointment.

Well, eventually you will need to submit other forms, and you will need supporting documents for the I129-F, but to begin with all you need is the I-129F.

Why do you doubt the embassy? They are the ones who use the info and adjudicate the process
I know. But we've had a few unexpected bureaucratic things come up along the way, and we just want to be sure.

Hi all,
Our police certificate will be 6 mos and 5 days old at my fiancé's interview. The embassy website says the police certificate is good for 12 months. But our lawyer says it needs to be within 6 months. Does anyone have experience using a police certificate older than 6 months?
Thanks!

Im encouraged to just forget all the fees, and paperwork..
Its seems easier to force our way in. Then we get free attorneys thru the ACLU and if anyone tells us to go home just call them a racist for it...
No Fees, No Forms , No Pre-entry Medical requirements, No Background checks, No Appointments, No Affidavit of support, No tax returns , Free ACLU lawyers and best of all by forcing our way into the country Illegally we get an entire political party willing to shut down the government to give us the right of citizenship...
It is so frustrating ...All of us go through all this hell and run around . Politicians should care about us before and above ANYONE who breaks into the country without permission.
Keep your heads up. Approvals are on their way ....
When the day comes that you are granted citizenship, Remember the difference between what it means to be Legal vs Illegal, and vote that way ....
I don't think there's any reason to bash Dreamers. They didn't have a choice. They were brought here as infants. And, if you've actually met any of them, they're some of the hardest working people you'll ever meet. They want to do it the right way. The government promised them if they gave their information they'd give them a path to staying here legally. And then the new administration basically said, "psych! No we're not going to do that. We're going to deport you to a country you've never lived in where you may not even know anyone." If anything, this process should make all of us more sympathetic to immigrants and refugees of all types. We're all in the same boat together with this administration, who actually want to curtail legal immigration as well. And they're the reason things have become slower and more complicated for all of US.

Oh ok so I only need vaccine proof? I have my red book of vaccines from when I was a child and I have a recent proof of my flu vaccine. I haven't had any other vaccines since.
No, if you look at what the Knightsbridge Doctors email you when you book your appointment, you will need the medical summary.

Ok so I've just called my GP surgery to get a copy of my medical records so that I can call and book my medical assessment in London.
The receptionist advised it would cost £10 initially and then 50p per sheet of paper for a copy of my records and as she stated 'this will cost a fortune'. She seemed as though she'd never heard of this process before and suggested I could have a summary of exisiting conditions instead.. is this enough ?! She's left me confused
im in the UK if this helps.
I believe the summary is what they want.

We printed our FaceTime log using iExplorer, and had a bunch of other evidence that we had communicated and seen each other after we submitted the petition. The CO in London didn't ask for any of it.
