Did my medicals today. Will update you guys how it went here:

I chose to use Qlife because they were the only ones that replied me when I sent enquiry mails to the two hospitals. I got there around 6:45am, wrote my name with the Security Guard (very important) and then went back to my car.

At some minutes past 8am, they then called us in.

Please make sure you take a 4 by 3 passport photographs (5 copies), it's way smaller than the conventional 2 by 2 passport stipulated by the US Embassy. Also go with your appointment letter and the email printout from NVC that has your Case Number. Also you will need your international passport, 2 photocopies of your data page, immunization records (if you have) and of course, your ATM card.

You will undergo X-ray to screen for tuberculosis, your blood will be drawn to test for syphilis, you will be vaccinated with IPV, MMR and TT, those will protect you from polio, mumps, rubella, tetanus, etc. Your blood pressure, weight and height (BMI) will be measured. The Doctor will then examine you after taking your medical history. Your urine sample will also be taken.

It took me a little over 2 hours. I was done around 10:30am or thereabout

It's quite an extensive procedure and the result comes out in 2 weeks time, I'm told.

I guess this should help someone out there.

Thanks for this update. Starred this page already. How much was the fees?

0–5 weeks: N35,000

6 weeks–5 months: N73,400

6–11 months: N63,650

12–23 months: N95,275

2–4 years: N103,275

5–6 years: N77,625

7–10 years: N77,125

11–14 years: N89,125

15–18 years: N95,125

19–61 years: N78,125

62–64 years: N70,000

65 years & above: N88,000

This price might change with time.

Its not the job of the beneficiary to decide which embassy the approved petition should be sent to. It's NVC that makes that determination after reviewing the information provided by the beneficiary. This is generally the U.S. Embassy or consulate where the fiancé(e) lives.

And they make that determination by looking at the beneficiary length of stay in a particular place and the possession of a permanent resident permit in that place.

So for instance, if the guy is in UAE based on a short visit visa then NVC will send it to the Lagos Consulate because he does not live in UAE but is only visiting. However, if he has a work permit or a permanent residence permit in UAE, that means he lives there, therefore the approved petition will be sent to the Embassy in UAE where he will be interviewed.

Perhaps you didn't go early enough. I was there before they opened and I had to write my name as they provide their service on a first come first serve basis.

I was the first US visa Applicant to write my name on the list and was the first to be attended to. Those that came earlier than myself and didn't write their names were attended to later.

Guys I'm afraid this ongoing American Shutdown might affect this K1 visa application on the long run. Heard Trump is ready to continue with the shutdown for months and to even more than one year.

Currently, the shutdown isn't affecting the Visa Interviews at the embassy. But I heard NVC is affected.

Expecting your response.

@nextlevel2222, I think you can come along with a photocopy of each of your major documents. However djfrancis will clarify.

Regarding the change in DS-160 form, I don't think you need to write them. However you may wish to go with both. The recent DS-160 is the one that's valid anyway.
