I also have my medical booked for June 25th and am assuming I will be there by December 25th, but I'm being told we can't attend the medical without a specific email from the NVC (which they aren't sending out at the minute). So I'm going to reschedule my medical for mid July and just keep pushing it back by 2 weeks until I get the email :)

Hi,
  I received the NOA2 for my partner and I's 129-f filed on Jan 14th. Received the NOA2 on April 3rd, with an expiration of August 2nd. We have not received a welcome letter with our case number.  I was able to reach the NVC by telephone and they said our case had been received on April 21st but had not yet been processed. They did give us our case # though as that had already been assigned. I am the petitioner and my partner (the beneficiary) will be applying for the k1 in London. Can he start his DS-160, since we have the case number? We don't know if the embassy has received our case. We haven't heard anything beyond getting the NOA2 dated from April 3rd, and then getting the case number over the phone. How are we supposed to know what to do next?

The mention of fingerprints In the London K1 instructions is under police certificates from certain other countries.  (Example, Australia used to require them) A UK police certificate is not from another country if you are British.
 
ACRO does not require your fingerprints.
