Mine took 8 working days - interview was 20th July, visa in hand 1st August

 

Dont book anything till you have your visa in hand! I was in AP for 5 working days, it varies

Yeah we aren't booking anything until we know for sure. Did you pay for the expedited delivery by chance? 

He's got his interview scheduled for 8/16; we were hoping he could be here by 8/25. How long does it take to get the actual visa from the embassy (London)? What's the best way to go about trying to luck into an earlier interview date? 

His case now says 'Ready' when I search it on the CEAC site; I'm assuming that means the embassy has it now? Still waiting to hear from them that we can schedule the interview

Correct, you don't need to do anything. I have my medical on Friday too! You need evidence of your case number, do you have that from an e-mail or anything? Also no Fees until you book your interview, and obviously you need to pay for the medical!

Haha what are the odds! So happy he was able to get in this week. And yes, we have a reply from the NVC that confirmed our case number so I think that should work. Didn’t think it would be this stressful anymore lol 

Thanks all for the replies and good wishes! I just want to make sure; we don’t have to do anything to get the case to move to the embassy correct? There aren’t any fees for a K1 at this stage? Also, he called today and was able to get a medical for this Friday since someone had cancelled. Will that be an issue if his case isn’t at the embassy yet?

Ughhh our case is still at the NVC. Not sure what the hold up is... we were hoping everything would get done so he could come over before the end of summer

currently about a month, my dates are in my signature below. they send cases out in batches on Tuesdays, so check on those days perhaps in the afternoon. if you've provided your email address you will get an email to confirm it's on its way to the consulate. mine went into my spam folder though so double check that too.

 

edit: realised sigs aren't on mobile view

Awesome thank you for the info. I'll keep my fingers crossed for Tuesday; I gave them my email when I called so I should get notified when it moves. Once it starts moving, are we okay to schedule the medical or do we have to wait to actually receive the packet?

Have you put your case number in here to see what it says?

Yeah, it just says it's at the NVC right now

We got our NOA2 on 6/13/18 and still haven't heard anything from the NVC that our case has been transferred to the London embassy. I called earlier in the week and was given our new case number but they said they didn't know how long until it will get sent on. Any ideas what to expect as far as timing? The NOA2 said it should be within 30 days which would be tomorrow.
