As more reviews here state - embassy takes time to give you any notice - my reccomendation is to wait approximatelly 2 weeks after notice that your petition left NVC and call embassy 257 022 415 with the info that they probably have already got your i-129f petition. They will ask about your email adress and email you P3, which is just one piece of paper with simple instructions (see bellow). Next day I would reccomend calling them again saying that you have everything ready and you'd like to schedule your interview (for US embassy in Prague they schedule interviews over the phone). Make sure you leave at least a week between medical and interview. At the medical, they were able to schedule soon after I called (call to 224 220 040).The day of the interview - I had it scheduled on 1:30 pm, you need to let your all electonical devices at the entrance, then proceed upstairs, get a number like at the post office, then you they will call you to handle all the required documents, then paying fee 265 dollars (or czech crowns) - you need to pay it just with cash, but there is also ATM inside of the embassy. The interview itself was really pleasant! The American man I talked to was kind and friendly, he asked me some basic questions like what was my petitioners name, how did we meet, if I have ever been to states - I described him my travels ending up speaking about football game I went to and ended the interview after like 5 minutes saying that everything looks great and they will hapilly issue my visa.
Good luck!
Here are the lists of requirements for the medical and the interview (this is what you'll get from the Embassy over the email)
INFORMATION ABOUT MEDICAL EXAMINATION
All intending immigrants are required by United States law to undergo a medical examination which must be performed by an Embassy designated physician in the country where the applicant is processing his/her visa.
In Czech Republic, these examinations are performed Monday – Friday after 8:00am at the following locations:
Health Centre, Vodickova 28, Prague 1, telephone no. 603433833, info@doctor-prague.cz
Please make an appointment with the doctors. Please bring your passport, 4 passport sized photos (for czech IDs, not american format), your complete medical history(you do NOT need to get it translated to enghlish cause the doctor is Czech) and, if possible, vaccination card. Mine doctor spoke Czech.
The entire medical examination includes a chest x-ray and a physical and mental evaluation. Children under the age of fifteen normally don't need the x-ray and the serological tests, and pregnant women don't need the x-ray. Upon the completion of the tests, the physician will evaluate your state of health and complete the required form. Any fee in conjunction with all tests and examination will be at the expense of the applicant. The regular examination is usually completed in one week.
Your medical exam results will be provided to the consular officer at the U.S. Embassy. The medical examination is normally valid for six months from the date the exam is completed.

The longest part on the conculate was just the waiting. I was there for around 2 hours but the interview lasted for about 5 minutes (take a book! no electronics inside, so my ebook reader was useless lol). Everyone was very friendly and nice. I guess it was also because we had no issue with our petition and the conculate told me at the beginning that it would be really quick as we have everything in order.
At the interview, the consulate guy was very pleasant and ask few questions (How did you meet, Have you ever been in US, couple of question about military past about my fiancé), that was about it. He told me they were more than happy to give me the visa. Told me to pick up the visa in a week and that they will call me.

My experience was very good. Everyone at the embassy was really nice.
Prior the interview
Since some people told me I may not get instructions from the embassy even though they have the case, I proactively called them after I saw they received our case. I said that I saw they got our case and asked if they could email me the instructions. I had a list but wanted to double check and have the official and current one from them as well. At the embassy they told me to call to schedule interview once I have all the documents ready and medical done. At the medical they were surprised and said that people usually have an interview date first and based on that they get a date for their medical. I guess the embassy is not that busy at this time of year (November/December) but I'd say just do what they tell you at the embassy.
Medical
I wish there was a review section for the medical place as well since I was surprised that they didn't proceed as I read about on official websites, which caught me off guard. Luckily, I found out ahead of time. Before you continue reading, please do your own research since I can't guarantee I'm right. We'll find out once I'm doing my AOS I guess. Anyway I thought they were supposed to perform any vaccinations that I didn't have yet that are mandatory for my age for immigration and record the ones I had + the ones they did. They record them on a DS-3025 form for the embassy and they give you a copy of this form as well. You can find tables for the vaccinations required by age on official government websites. I was surprised when I asked about it while scheduling my medical and they told me they don't do vaccinations. So I took it into my own hands and based on the tables I got all the necessary vaccinations done ahead of the medical so then they would record all of them into the form at the medical. Then at the medical while talking to the doctor as she was writing down information, I was trying to nicely make sure she'd record everything from my vaccinations records but also varicella (plané neštovice) since I didn't have vaccination for it but I had them as a child and there is a section for the doctor to record it on the form as well (varicella history). Also I made sure varicella was on the paper from my physician with a year when I had it that I took to the medical. I'm glad I did that because one girl didn't know about it and they didn't record her varicella history. Not sure what she's gonna have to do now. From my understanding, the point of the form DS-3025 being complete is, if it is done right and you have every required vaccination recorded, then it is enough to have this complete form for AOS and you don't need to go to another doctor in the US, get another form filled and pay more money for it. I found this information in the official instructions for AOS form. As I said, please do your own research, this is my understanding of what will be required in the US for AOS. There's no problem to get the missing stuff done in the US, my thinking is - we already have to do medical and pay money for it in Prague so if I can avoid having to go to another doctor and I can save time and money just by making sure I have everything right already in Prague then it's a win.
The embassy interview
I got there in the morning and was surprised there was a line forming in front of the embassy. Because in the past they would send you away if you came sooner than like 10 minutes before the appointment time. Even if your appointment time is about to start you'll have to wait in the line, it's ok, you don't need to be inside exactly on time. You'll have to leave your phone at the security inside so if you need to watch time, wear a watch. I didn't find anything showing time inside so I was clueless. Inside you'll take a ticket with a number (like at the post office), sit down and wait for you to be called. First you go to a window to give them all the documents required and pay the fee. Give them only the things from the list, no extra stuff like pictures with your fiance, you can show them later to the consul if needed. For the affidavit I asked what documents they want. The lady told me only the IRS stuff (daňové pÅ™iznánÃ). I told her they won't see much on there since my fiance started working last year in the fall and that I have an employer letter + pay stubs, which show his current pay much better. That was fine with her. I also had the IRS docs since I read online they wanted them in the past. I ended up giving her all the supporting stuff for the affidavit according to the affidavit instructions, as I was nervous about it a bit and in this case I thought more can't do any harm. Then I sat down and waited again, they called me to take my fingerprints. Then again sat down and waited. Out of the 2 hours I spent there most of it was waiting. Then I was finally called to the consul's window. He was very nice and easy going, he asked me to tell him about my fiance and then asked some additional questions based on what I was saying. It wasn't weird in any way, just felt like a normal conversation about our relationship. It probably took just 5 minutes and he said everything looks good and congratulations, explained to come pick up my passport once they call me when it's ready and that it could take up to 2 weeks. I had my interview on Thursday, ceac status said Issued on Tuesday but no call from them. I called them on Friday and asked if by any chance they have it done and if I could pick it up on Monday and they said yes. I guess after a few days and if you're in rush for the visa, just watch the status online and call after a few days of it saying Issued
