 @ChuAni. thx for the great help you have been for us today and see now here i'm now knowing what i need to do. thx so much if you have other useful information for us please do send it. but please can you share with me how your medical go?

You're welcome. I'm glad to be of help.

We all are here to learn from each other and support one another.

Oh My Medicals will be in two weeks time. They need; 

* 6 Passport Photos

* Passport

* Copy of Passport Data Page

* Copy of Interview Appointment Letter

* A copy of Vaccination/Medical Record (if any) 

There will be samples' analysis, including X-ray and Physical Examination.  After which, they determine the vaccines to be given, but the vaccines needed for US Immigration includes;

* TDT = Tetanus & Diphtheria Toxoids

* IPV = Inactivated Polio Vaccine

* Varicella

* MMR = Measles, Mumps & Rubella

* Influenza

After two weeks, the Applicant goes back to the Clinic to pick up the result for the Interview.

So today has been a bit crazy, got an email from NVC, case is now in transit!And then my medical got moved up from June 13th to May 29th! So, my fiancee is putting the final touches to the affidavit and will send once we get packet 3. 

 

 

Also got an email saying my case has been expedited, but I didn't file for one? Either was I guess not much can come from expediting it now anyway. Has anyone else seen this?

They use the term "expedited" on all of them. Doesn't mean much.

It's a protocol for 'Electronic Cases'.

@Meisha&Jake @EllyNelly @BnK I just got this but I didn’t ask for it to be expedited. Is it just protocol?

 

The U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in LONDON, GRBR approved your request for expedited processing of your immigrant visa application. The National Visa Center sent your immigrant visa application to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in LONDON, GRBR for their action. The Embassy/Consulate General will contact you soon to schedule a visa interview.

If you have questions about your visa interview, please visit the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General's website at https://usembassy.gov.

 

It's protocol, especially 'Expedited' for 'Electronic Cases'.

ah okies! I understand now. So when it is "ready" or "in transit" he can then fill out the DS-160, pay, then schedule medical but in enough time that he can get his results back, then interview comes and voila... i finally get my boo cakes back lol

O yes...the medicals should be two weeks + a day to the Interview, unless it's Abuja. Abuja takes apptocimately 2-5 days to get the Medicals done.

how did you get the email? I got no email at all

Sis, you will def get it..

They normally send it to the Petitioner when the case reads 'In Transit'.

@ChuAni

You two..

Yes. And the Lagos embassy sent my fiancée my packet saying it’s ready. I made payment for the visa. Want to schedule an interview before heading to Lagos for medical. So want to know which hospital is cheapest. 

1. The children hospital

2. Q-life

3. MHAC

Okay...

The Hospitals bill the same, but Children's Practice is cool.

With your Payment Receipt number, create a profile here  https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?language=English&country=Nigeria

Log in and choose a Date.

After you schedule, click on the send 'Appointment Letter' to your email and 'Print', to obtain the Interview Appointment Letter.

Quick questions! Greatly appreciate your responses!

Finace submitted his ds160. Next step is to pay the visa fee and schedule the interview then medical. 

He can do that through an online portal on the embassy's website. It asks for the case number, which will be provided by the NVC, it's a 3 letter followed by 10 digits..correct? 

 

Did it specifically say 'NVC Case #'?

...because, when you're to schedule the interview, it's the Visa Payment Receipt Number that is needed. It is gotten after payment.

Please help. Steps on how to book my interview after visa payment. Also which hospital is cheaper for the medical in Lagos Nigeria. Thanks! 😊

Have you gotten your case # from NVC?

3 minutes ago, jean baptiste said:

oh that's what it's? oh no for some reason i thought the embassy will send a formal letter with the interview date. so i submit my form DS160 set an appointement an there i'll print the page which have information confirming my appointment date and hours. is that what you mean? 

Exactly!💯

The Embassy doesn't give you a date. You pay, log in with your payment receipt # and choose a date. After which, you print out the Letter.

6 minutes ago, jean baptiste said:

see where we're. i'm pretty sure it'll be the same issue here in Togo. so do you get yours by email in the same packet 3?  

No!

Packet 3 has Information (tells you to provide) of the documents you will provide for your Interview..

DS-160 Confirmation Page

Interview Appointment Letter

Passport

Passport Photos

Police Certificate

Form I-134 (Affidavit of Support)

...Bank Statement

...Tax Returns

...Employment Letter

Divorce Certificates

Birth Certificates

Death Certificates

Marriage Certificates

Evidence of Relationship

Then, after you pay your Visa Fees, schedule Interview (on the website), you print out your Interview Appointment Letter. The Embassy will not give it to you. You are the one to print it out from the website and take it to your Medicals/Interview Day.

God bless you!!! @ChuAni. but here is the controversy. at the hospital, in their requirement, they told me that the interview letter is required and that letter will mention the date of my interview. see, so that's something that is supposed to came along with the packet 3 if i'm not wrong. that's the reason i'm planing to call the hospital if the said it's the only valuable document so we have no choice because you cannot go the interview without the medical and if the hospital need a letter from the embassy before run the medical for you and you don't have the letter, what else can you do? that's the box we're in

Oh No! The Interview Letter is the Appointment Letter. It's not part of the Packet 3.

You print it out yourself after you have scheduled your Interview.

It includes your Details and the date you choose for your Interview.

i should confess that i have a similar plan but i stop now again regarding what i explain on top RE.the hospital asking for an interview letter. well i have my police certificate already. lukcy because  i love traveling but have never spend 6 months straight anywhere. 

 

the day i went to the hospital, the didn't realize first that i was there for the information.

they thought i came in for the exam and their first question was when is your interview? and when i explain my case they told me well we need two weeks ahead of your interview date. but another question is; what if we wait for packet 3 which finally arrived with a date that don't give us 2 weeks for the medical exam to be completed?

 

anyway i'm waiting for an answer to my mail this week, i'll see what the hospital will tell me about the NVC letter and i can move forward.

i don't have my time to give to any other institution if not my family but with the US it's always complicated 

Ooh! It's similar to my Embassy.

You schedule Interview, print out Appointment Letter, attend your Medicals two weeks to your Interview Date with a copy of the Appointment Letter...the two weeks is to give them time to process the results and we pick the results from them. The Clinic must ask you for it. 

Packet 3 is a List of Instructions, just the ones you saw on the website. I know many Applicants that attended their Interview without the Packet 3 from the Embassy. For me, I was at the Bank to pay the Visa Fees, when the Embassy's Packet Email came in on my phone.

Interview Letter; Yes!

That's the Interview Appointment Letter...In Nigeria, you attend the Medicals with it. No Appointment Letter, no Medicals..

I'm sorry for a mass reply But THANK YOU!!! Thousands of Thank you to all... really! Even though I know I can't 100% relax till I get the visa in my hands. all these makes me extremely happy!!!

 

@ChuAni I think my chit chatty nature actually made the interview itself longer... I did everything we say not to do in an interview, because we were laughing with the CO...

The most fun interaction:

 

CO: So you guys become friends online and met in real life after one week?

Me: Yes. (I am sure I didn't just say yes and there was 2 more unnecessary sentences here)

CO: So in 1 week you decided to be together?

Me: NO! (Insert "are you kidding me" face here) I rejected him cause I didn't want a long distance relationship!

 

Hahahhahahaha!!!😂😂😂😂

You absolutely did the opposite of the VJ Advice! 

Gosh! I've always known you ain't usual!😱

Thank you also for these links!!!

You should file your DS-160, sign and submit if you haven't.

You're right about the Packet 3 (List of Instructions). 

After waiting for 2-5 days and no email, you should go ahead to pay the fee and schedule.

Hello, After your Visa says Issued  how long before you can pick it up? And would the website update or should we just wait for a sms??. Thanks

I believe you would get a text and email for pick up.

For anyone who helped their fiance fill out the DS-160, how did you answer the questions if anyone helped him? Do I answer yes? I know I saw this somewhere on one of the threads, but I can't seem to find it anywhere now. I know he has to actually submit it but i wanted to help him upload the picture. 

You can help him fill it, but he has to sign it.

Hi everyone, I need help. My immigrant visa Was printed last week after the approval at my interview and I received my passport and packets but got an email and call from the embassy this morning to return the packet to the embassy and that I can’t travel with the visa anymore without any reason. Please what could be happening and has it happened to anyone? 

Hi there!

I can't imagine how you will be feeling now. It's really a pity this is happening.

I suggest, just like others said "don't panic, return the visas, get in touch with your (your husband's) Congressman and above all, keep praying'.

Please, just hang tight and I believe everything will work out so well for your sake.

I will have you in my prayers. Lots of love to you, Sister.💖💖
