Yeah I faced the same problem, it let’s you check only once in a day🤭😄 exactly the way ustraveldocs acted while we were looking for dates. 

I don't think so there is need off insurance..... 

Your soon to be spouse should be able to add you to his health insurance once you two are married in the US. You do not need a visitors-type insurance prior to traveling, if that's what you're asking about. 

Thanks for the interview writeup. I don't think you need insurance but keep in mind that healthcare is very expensive in the USA. Just consulting with a doctor can cost more than $200 and a simple blood test that costs Rs 1000 in India can cost $1000.

Hi guys,  
I have shared my interview experience on my timeline that took place on 29th March 2018 at Mumbai consulate.

Hello All!!!
Atti and I are approved!!!!! 🍾🎊🎉❤️ I was eating lunch when I got a text update on my cell and I almost choked on my salad. I cried and my legs are still shaky... this was 45 minutes ago... 

My fiance and I just meet once before we filed our petition. Now we are waiting for our visa. We got approved last Thursday! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

No June is too late right?!? Wait for sometime keep checking

Oh don’t worry about the biometric date! I have confirmed one can have a 1-1.5 month gap between OFC and interview with the embassy call centre.
 
what is the earliest date shown on the screen as you login? Check that first 
and select a nearest date for biometric as against available date and book it.
 
if the earliest date shown is of late April or May wait for a day or two, keep checking by just logging in as the date keeps changing. Do not open that schedule my appointment page as it gets locked if you do it multiple times. The moment you see a closer date book it.

Hi Gary
Sadly there are no earlier dates available. Rescheduling can be done but my suggestion is call the helpline and talk to them they guide you well. You get five chances to do it but again you cannot keep going back and forth on the same page or else it gets locked for 24hours! But one cannot be sure that you would get an earlier date.

I think they ALWAYS seal the reports no matter what the results are, and unfortunately, you have no way of knowing what they are. Just do not let curiosity get the better of you and decide to open them! Keep it sealed.
 
I do think that if there was some question around, say, possible tuberculosis, they would let you know that further tests are involved before you can take the interview. I wouldn't worry about it too much if they just gave you the sealed packets.

Thank you! I'll definitely share our experience. Others on here have been so helpful, and I definitely want to pay it forward.  

Omg!!! Great news😃 All the best to both of you👍
M not at all surprised cause this happened to me as well hahah earlier I was given a 16th April then 27th April and finally I got the 29th March 😄 but yes yours is a really good date☺️
Hope you arrange everything smoothly. 
Share your interview experience with us👍
 

Yeah they had told me the same, they asked me to keep checking it. M sure you will soon find a date
 
Haha seriously that’s the real Jugaad you did there😄
 
Anyway good luck!

Hi Julie,
 
I am surprised you haven’t got the date yet! Yes I remember how anxious and sad I got when I messed up with my dates when I tried scheduling the first time. I had my biometric today and my interview is on the 29th. So, I had confirmed on call (helpline) if it is ok to have such gap between the biometric and the interview they said it is fine nothing wrong. It’s better you call them and get it sorted as looking at the current scenario it is extremely difficult to get both as we want. I had scheduled my final attempt with the officer on call, they are very helpful.

I know I'm very lucky, I just want all Julys to be approved, I hate that I'm moving forward and you all are still waiting. It's really not fair

Just wanted to also update you guys here! Our case went from in transit to ready - in a matter of 6 hours. He's scheduling everything now! So very exciting!

Hi Julies!
 
July 28th filer here. I did not ask my fiancé to call USCIS about our case status, ever. I thought that since more than enough people are calling already, I would just send an online inquiry; this service is available on the USCIS egov website.
 
I inquired on February 15th, I believe that was Day 2 after the processing time changed from 28th June to 1st August on the USCIS website.
 
I received an automated reply that I can expect a reply by 10th March.
 
It is 19th February (yes, PRESIDENTS' DAY) and I have received an e-mail reply confirming that our K1 petition has been APPROVED on 16th February and that we should receive our mail within 14 days and to contact USCIS if we did not receive the mail.
 
I never did call/harass USCIS. NO online update. NO informed delivery by USPS despite being 4 days since approval -- honestly, I believe it takes an average of 5-7 working days for the approval to reach anywhere, so no frustration there.
 
I am writing this post to detail how I receive my notification in hopes that if some people are looking for an alternative to calling USCIS over and over, they could try it the way I did.
 
To all who have not received notice, I wish you all the best. I hope you receive your approval. I'm as certain as those before me that yours are on the way, just like ours.
 
xx
 
[I have attached the approval by replied inquiry.]

Yes I have read that too so believe me I was so so so worried after I canceled and learnt that my screen is locked 😣
 
yeah 6th April is also a good date, after I cancelled my fiancé said any date any venue just do it we can’t further delay after 27th April😅
 
Yes I will stick to 30 March as my medical is scheduled on the 23 February and will get the reports by 26th they said. So I don’t think I will have a prob, cause I will still have a month’s time to prepare for the interview and to sort the docs.

Received our acceptance notification on Friday, letter in the mail Monday, surprised my lovely in Australia for Valentine's Day!
Happy VISATINE'S DAY!
 

What a great Valentine's Day surprise! Congrats!!

Hello,
 
Has anyone scheduled interview recently with the Mumbai consulate? How early of a date are you getting?? 

Yeah we cleared the interview and yeah we were pretty lucky to get a date that early. My fiancé was just asked general questions about how and where we met. What line of work I’m in? The whole interview process was actually not that bad. 
 
My advice to all those waiting to hear from Mumbai, please go ahead and submit your payment on ustraveldocs and get a date to do biometrics and interview. As long as case says “ready” on ceac you’re good to go. That’s what we did and it worked. 

This page shows the Step by Step process pretty clearly and what docs or other info you need at each step:

👆shared by Julie a while ago for my questions. 
 
For medicals, make him call the Rele clinic (022-23613737) I have gotten the appointment for the 23rd of this month, that’s the earliest date she said they would be able to give. And she asked me to carry my passport photocopies and the letter from the consulate in mumbai explaining the further steps(which I have not yet received, I am
yet in the transfer process) and, past medical records, passport photos. I have received this letter 

Hey everyone! It’s been a rough month with the breast cancer scare but hallelujah approved!!!!!
