Thanks for the info

If you use the USEM website to schedule the interview, it requires you to pay before you can schedule the visa interview. You do this buy going to a bank and they give you a receipt number which you then use on the website. This was how we were able to schedule the initial March 10th interview. The problem is, when we try to re-use the same receipt number it shows it as being used. By paying again, the other couple received a new receipt number which allowed them to schedule another appointment.

Hey, I honestly thought you were not able to attend the visa interview until after your medical was cleared. That's why she tried to reschedule the appointment via the website after she found out about the sputum but we did not see a reschedule option. We did email the embassy (like a 7 day notice) and they told us just to reach back out to the Embassy after the medical was cleared. Another girl in the K1 Support group she is on Facebook said they had a similar issue with the sputum and ended up just repaying the visa interview fee (which allows you to schedule an interview via the website) so they could schedule a new appointment easier than going through the Embassy call centers/email. I hope I'm explaining it well, it's confusing for me too lol.

Hello, My Fiancé and I had our case sent to the embassy back around Feb 28th 2022. She set her up medical appointment (March 1 2022) and her embassy appointment (March 10th 2022). Upon going to her medical, she was flagged for sputum and she had to do the two month culture. She just went back for her results yesterday and was medically cleared (yay!). I called the USEM call center and they were able to see we had already paid and setup an appointment in March so they said we would not have to pay again. The call center worker set our case to (Operations Unit K1-No Show tagging) and put our case status to ("Escalated"). I received an email saying they would be in contact within 1-2 business days to start the reschedule process. I've heard it is just easier to eat the cost, repay and reschedule your visa interview via the website. I was wondering if you all think I should wait 3-4 business days to see if they reach out before I do this. We have been waiting (like many since early 2020 due to Covid) and I'm just ready to finalize everything as quick as possible because I will be starting a new job locally June 1st. So getting everything done before then would be perfect in an ideal situation. I don't mind waiting a few days but I don't have a lot of trust in USEM to handle the situation in a timely manner. I appreciate your thoughts and perspectives. Brad
