Interview
Morning
Children and I have had our medicals (6th feb) needed to get some vaccinations after but submitted everything to them around 20th feb. Was told that Knightsbridge medical would send everything to embassy.
we haven’t had a confirmation or appointment for our visa interview. Is this normally sent by post or do we need to call the embassy and make an appointment?

Re: Interview
Embassy (NVC) would email you with interview date and then you would go for medical prior to interview. That was my experience.
My medical info was sent electronically.

Re: Interview
Your situation may be completely different to mine. Maybe you could ellaborate further and those with knowledge could reply.
My route was/is CR-1 visa. There is no online booking for CR-1 visa interview with the embassy.
The Embassy after receiving required documentation arranged an interview and send the time/date by email.
Soon as date is known the immigrant arranges a Medical prior to interview then attends the interview.
Email sent to me below:
----------------------------------------------------------------
The National Visa Center (NVC) completed its processing of your immigrant visa application and forwarded it to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General, where an immigrant visa interview has been scheduled. Appointment information is located at the bottom of this email.
Important Information:
You submitted forms and supporting documents to the NVC in electronic form. You must present the original forms and documents for review by the consular officer during your interview.
Please promptly read and follow all Interview Preparation Instructions located on the Department of State's web site at: https://nvc.state.gov/interview.
Important information regarding the required medical appointment is also listed on this site. Failure to promptly follow all instructions provided on this site will result in your immigrant visa being refused at the initial interview.
You should present this letter upon arrival at the Embassy/Consulate General.
Those members of your family, named below, must appear at the Embassy/Consulate General on the appointment date.
PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION ON HEALTH CARE: On October 4, 2019, the President issued Presidential Proclamation 9945 on the "Suspension of Entry of Immigrants Who Will Financially Burden the United States Healthcare System." For the most up to date information on how PP 9945 might affect your case, please visit https://travel.state.gov/healthcare.
What To Do if You Cannot Keep the Appointment:
Some Embassies/Consulates General reschedule interview appointments themselves; others utilize an outside service provider to reschedule appointments. To determine the proper procedure for rescheduling your interview appointment, please go to the Department of State's web site at: https://nvc.state.gov/interview, under "Step 2", select your interview location from the dropdown and click "Download PDF" and follow your Embassy/Consulate General's instructions listed under "Contact Information" on the right.
Reminders:
Read and follow all interview instructions located at https://nvc.state.gov/interview.
Bring this letter to your medical examination because the panel physician may need to review it before performing the examination.
If a sponsor filed an I-864 (Affidavit of Support) AND provided the NVC with proof of an IRS Federal Income Tax Extension in lieu of a Federal Income Tax Return, you must upload this to CEAC or bring the sponsor's most recent Federal Income Tax Return to the visa interview.
Failure to present all necessary documents to the Consular Officer will result in your immigrant visa being refused at the initial interview.
Questions:
The National Visa Center has completed its processing of this case and any further inquiries should be addressed to the U.S. Embassy, Consulate General, or Diplomatic Mission listed below. When communicating with the Embassy/Consulate General by e-mail, letter, or fax, always refer to your name and case number exactly as they appear.

Re: Interview
Anna might be doing direct consular filing which means she didn't go through the USCIS in the US but dealt directly with the USCIS in London. Those people book their own appointments.
