That exact email is the same letter I got through the post, so I actually have two copies of the same letter! 

I'll be honest, I wasn't too sure what MRV fee was so I just looked it up but our MRV fee for K Visas is just the $265 when you arrange the interview. 

Very very easy to schedule, you schedule it online? 

Have you submitted your DS-160 now?

If so, then just pay for and schedule the Interview here: https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv 

You click on register and then select 'I have received a letter from the consular section with instructions to register or schedule a K visa appointment', and continue on from there!

fiancee finally got his visa back on Friday... sorry everyone.. has been a hectic week. 

Yeh, I mean I booked mine while it was 'In Transit' they don't ask for much over the phone apart from name and NVC case number. Like I said the only reason I advise it is because of the long waiting time, we're end of June and they are booking end of July appointments. This process is long enough as it is...
 
Please see my above reponse!

It breaks my heart to see this .

Meghan I know you must have your reasons so I won't say Nooooooo don't give up, because you know what's best for you but there is a saying in my home language and translated into English it sounds a little like this 'Only that which is gold is tested, rocks or stones are not', bit like a Diamond has to go through immense pressure as coal before it turns into a diamond?

Sometimes those who are most worthy, go through the most testing times.... 

and hope you know whether you do actually withdraw or not, that you still have some friends here

After much consideration and soul searching; as incredibly heart shattering as it is, I am withdrawing our petition. 
 
Perhaps not receiving NOA2 is a message from a higher power that we just aren’t meant to be together.
 
Thank you to all of you who have been a huge support system during this process and I wish each of you so much happiness in life with your loves ❤️

That is a royal pain in the butt! I think they should have interviewed him then and there just for the error... as it was their error and not his....

Good god, medicals in London are crazy. I thought I'd book because I saw the dates on here being quite late. So even if the consulate hasn't received my case,  but the earliest appointment they had was the 29th June and there is a 2 page cancellation list. Looks like I'm going to be cutting everything very fine!!

I know @Greenbaum has already replied to this, but as I'm going through the London Consulate myself. Thought I'd put my 2cents in too.
 
1) It is wise not to submit the DS-160, until the embassy has received the documents required, so as soon as you see a 'Ready' status. You're good to go. So complete the form and save.
 
2) From when I spoke to two receptionists yesterday. Very unlikely that the appointments being backed up will change. Both said cancellations rarely happen. Yes it is required to have the medical before the interview, or you will find yourself stuck with a 221g  (basically waiting for information they need), which might prolong getting the visa.
 
3) Personally, due to the changes they seem to be making, with the way they're sending over info, I'd wait until it says 'Ready' status, but you could probably as @Greenbaum said, do it while it says 'In Transit'. https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv but yes this is the site, to go ahead and book the interview.
 
4) Yes it might affect the arrival of the packet 3. Call NVC as soon as possible to let them know the change of address. He should get his passport back on the day of the medical in his hand and when you book the appointment. It does ask for an address I believe to send the passport back too.
 
You just need to make sure your fiance has all the information and documentation that is required for the interview. Depending on how each system works. I would say that it takes a good month, to get everything together.

I've been pretty quiet in here but @HTMW and @DonAnn praying hard for you all. I'm hoping today is going to be an absolute shed load of approvals coming through.

Should hopefully be by the end of next week  Keep your chin up! The longest waiting part is over now, this despite the volume at the moment is still a faster time than the NOA1 to NOA2 date Which means your days closer to being forever with your fiance!

Yeh the only slot available too, so just a heads up to anyone who is applying at the London Embassy. It seems to be very busy right now.

Indeed I have the NVC number, and when I say consulate I mean the London Embassy (My status is showing as in Transit since Tuesday). I didn't want to do anything until it said ready but I think I'm glad I decided to make the call today.

BCG not needed so forget it.
Tell them your mum said you had chicken pox when you were X years old. You do not need written proof. 
 
 
 
You only need a summary page, not the actual records. They should be able to print that out quickly. 

BCG is not given in the United States (be advised that if you are ever given a skin TB test this vaccine may result in a false positive - see the CDC website for more details about that). This vaccine is not required though.
 
The shots you need for ages 18 and over can be found here:
Knightsbridge will accept your word for it that you have had chicken pox. The chicken pox vaccine was never routinely given in the UK.
 
My suggestion would be to go to your GP and get the required shots ahead of time, and take proof of them to the medical. Even if you haven't got the childhood book, you should be able to obtain a printout from the doctor of what vaccines you had in the past and any new ones you will get. You'll be all set then. Again only the vaccines listed in that thread are the ones necessary for immigration purposes.

Fiance called today, we had our approval show as 4th May online and 3rd May on NOA2. They received our case yesterday and we now have a case number! 
 
Got my ACRO (police report) today too. Looks pretty nifty...
 
Looks like August wedding is not gonna be stunted. Just moving date a little later than expected!
