How long did it take anyone's package to get to the lock box? I mailed ours out on the 12th via certified mail with return receipt requested and nadda thus far. Maybe I'm just to anxious.

You tracked the package and it doesn't say it's been delivered yet?

I haven't tracked it yet. My cat decided to have a running start on the papers were I had put the little stub the post office gave me and haven't found it yet.

Noorah101

My guess is that it's been delivered. It takes a long time to get the "return receipt" back in the mail.

When will they send out an email or text if you filled out a G-1145? when/if the I-130 is approved?

Noorah101

Yes. Or maybe if you receive an RFE.

^ Ah! I just found the little stub - huzzah! And yes, you were right Noorah, it was delivered yesterday - ironically enough on our 8th month wedding anniversary.

OK, we have our medical this week in London. The application for visa has just arrived at the NVC in the USA. How long is it likely to take before we get an interview date?

Noorah101

I would estimate another 4 to 6 weeks.

Thanks Noorah - oooh it has seemed a long time!

OK, last week we went for our medical in London. Thought I would post about it so it might help others.
We had everything we needed (document wise) with us which we handed in at reception:

• Called for blood test (to detect syphilis apparently), weighed, height measured and blood pressure taken.
• Called to another room for chest x-ray (to detect TB)
• Called to the doctor. She discussed our medical histories with us. Then, looked in our eyes, mouth and ears.
• She listened to our chests, front and back.
• She felt our stomachs
• She felt my breasts and when my husband went in she checked his 'bits' and asked him to cough

We were both asked to go back to the waiting room.
Then we were taken to another room for our inoculation checks. I needed a tetanus one and my husband needed one for tetanus and pneumonia (because he is 65)
Then we were told that we both needed a fax from our GP to tell them about various medical issues we had but they did make clear that this would in no way prevent us from emigrating.
We were also told that if there was a problem we would be contacted by Monday which was 4 days away and if we wanted we could ring them.

The really painful bit of course was the payment!!

the payment is always the worst bit
