Update: they received on April 18. Norice date April 21. Only arrived this week due to being overseas at a military base

For those of you who were granted emergency interviews try to schedule your medical well in advance. The embassy received my Medical Exam on 1 May, interview was on 5 May and they confirmed that they received my Medical. My case is still under administrative processing (was changed to "refused") due to the consular section not having paired my Exam with my application. This has been the consulates response thus far “Currently, our mail intake process may take up to 1-3 days from when mail arrives at our office until it is delivered to the consular section and is paired with your application. This delay and the discrepancy between post being marked "received" and it being paired with your file is routine, especially at the present time.” 
 
As of right now its been 7 business days since they received my medical and 5 business days since my interview, we don't know how much a missing medical on the day of your interview will delay your case. 
 

Hmm. I would probably go ahead and do the medical before getting an interview. There are people in the UK I've seen that are getting k1 visa interviews for July. I would suggest being prepared as possible for the interview it shows imo that your ready to move forward.

I got an e-mail saying they've delayed all  scheduled  interviews until May 31, possibly later. Sit tight!

Our interview originally scheduled for April 1 was cancelled on March 17 due to the coronavirus with no estimation of when it will be rescheduled. I am not expecting things to calm down enough this month for a May interview but maybe in May it will be calmed enough to get something for June..

Anyone getting interview scheduled email? I know the embassy/consulate are still closed. But I received an email from NVC stating that my interview is scheduled for May 11th. 

Hang in there everyone . Praying this month passes without issue and we can get back on track and in business. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

Interviews in Australia cancelled due to COVID :(. Was scheduled for this Tuesday! If anyone gets a reschedule letter, please let me know!

Passport with visa was picked up today.  The feeling alone was awesome. We thank God for how far he's brought us.😊

I did, and they replied with the answer a few days later.

Now to wait for my interview letter from Sydney...I'm guessing in about 2-4 weeks time? Sorry if this has been asked before, but are we allowed to do the medical without an interview date?

Myself and @Duke & Marie both requested expedite around the same time and it's taken us both a month. I know someone who put in expedite at the Japan embassy before me and got approved in a week or 2, but he called every few days asking for a supervisor to review and give him an update. Maybe it's dependent on the embassy too.
