If your visa was approved on the day of your interview you will receive an email once it has been printed and posted back to you.

Just had my K2 medical yesterday at Auckland Citymed at 1:30pm. Great experience. For a nervous time, they treat you with respect and are very professional and quick. Timeline (give or take a few minutes), appointment was at 1:30pm, I got to Citymed about 1:10pm I caught a flight from Wellington to Auckland, landing around 12pm. Went straight out the front of the airport to catch the Skydrive bus which got me to Skycity about 12:50pm. Walked from Skycity to Citymed in about 10-15 minutes at a casual stroll pace. It's all downhill. Reception checked my paperwork and the nurse called me in to put me through the paces of taking vitals and measurements. Doctor called me in and did a bunch of questions about my medical history, things like hospital stays, medications, family history, pysch issues, drug/alcohol dependencies, STD history etc Then a bit of a check for breathing, heart rate and reflexes. Nothing major or invasive. Back to the nurse for a couple vaccination updates and blood draws then off to radiology out the back of Citymed for a chest x-ray and I was done. 15-20 minute walk back to Skycity for the bus back which got me to the airport around 4pm. (Don't forget to hand over your paperwork to the front counter at Citymed when you leave) So I think that my timeline was pretty much as good as it could get at 4 hours from airport doors to airport doors. But I would definitely allow more time than 4 hours for bad traffic or flight delays or longer wait times at Citymed. All in all I 100% rate the Citymed experience. I thought it was going to be a bit clinical and stiff, but they were super nice.

Hi everyone, long time reader, but not a long time member of the forum. My fiance and I have a K-1 visa appliation and after a year of waiting, we have made it through to the stage where today I have recieved my notification that I am now eligible to schedule a visa interview appointment. YAY for us. I log onto https://www.usvisascheduling.com and create an account and when I get to the visa options page, it gives me the option of Immigrant and non-immigrant as the visa type. When I select non-immigrant the post visa category does not have an option for a K visa, so instead I select immigrant as the visa type and I now have the option for a K visa. I select the K visa and the next screen asks for my DS confirmation number - but it asks for the DS 260 confirmation number. The problem here is I filled out the DS 160 as a non-immigrant visa application because I understand that a K-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa application with the intent to become an immigrant and that a DS 260 is NOT to be used for K-1 visa applications. So I am confused, I have 3 options but all of them seem wrong... - Do I start the visa interview appointment application again, select non-immigrant and select a different type of post visa category? (K-1 visa is not an option I can select under non-immigrant) - Do I enter my DS 160 confirmation number where it asks for the DS 260 confirmation number and hope for the best? (it says it cannot be modified after entry - which worries me that I might scrw up the process and rewind the process a year or more) - Do I fill out a DS 260 and use that confirmation number? (I have read multiple threads on here that says a DS 260 is NOT for K-1 visa applicants) I've included some screen grabs of the interview scheduling site (no personal details included) to hopefully help explain what I am seeing. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out. \
