K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1-NOA-2 No Consulate Listed
Ok thanks....Quick question, does the NVC send a letter to the petitioner that the package is on the way to the consulate? Or do we have to call and make sure that they have received it from VSC and then just wait to hear that the consulate received the package from the other end?

Just to make sure you are talking about the form I think you are talking about: do you mean the I-797 "Notice of Action" from VSC or CSC? VJ calls it NOA2; USCIS only calls it "Notice of Action." The NOA2 that you get from USCIS will not list the consulate. USCIS sends it to the National Visa Center, which then sends it to the consulate a few days later. You should get a letter soon from the NVC telling you that it has been sent to whatever consulate you are going through. It will even give you the address of the consulate. If you are talking about the letter from NVC, then I'd suggest calling them, because the consulate should be named there. If you are talking about the NOA2 from USCIS, don't sweat it; the NVC letter will list your consulate.


Thanks for the responses. SonoranSongbird, I mean the 'I-797' Notice of Action from VSC (2nd letter from VSC. First is notice of recipt for I-129F). I have not received anything yet from NVC, as it is still too early to hear from them. But if NVC is the one that lists the consulate & their address, then i'm ok.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1-NOA-2 No Consulate Listed
Hi,
I received my NOA-2 for my I-129F today & it mentioned that it was approved and forwarded to the listed consulate. But, nowhere on the NOA does it list the consulate that I selected when filling out the I-129F. I thought it was usually listed below the Valid from xx to xx field? Has this happened to anyone before? Is this an oversight or do they just not list the consulate anymore?

Thanks

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresBrief G-325A question
My opinion...put the previous apartment that you were at for exactly a year and the other one

QUOTE (Umbrae @ Mar 3 2009, 03:55 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi guys!

Just a VERY fast question about the G-325A.

It asks for my previous residence outside of the US for more than one year.

I have recently moved, and was at my previous address for EXACTLY one year - to the day.

Feb 08-Feb 09.

The exact phrasing asks:
Applicant's last address outside the United States of more than one year.

Do I put my previous apartment that I was at for exactly a year, or the residence I was at before that, where I was for 6 years?

I'm probably being far too ####### about everything, but I want to make sure it's all correct.

Thanks, AGAIN, for everyone's help, you guys have been incredibly helpful

Umbrae

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresService Centers Time Tables

If I took a guess at why Vermont is faster it would be because the states that it governs are a lot smaller in comparision to how big the other states are that the other service centres govern. So i would think that there would be less people than going through vermont. just my two cents. Either way i'm happy since vermont is my centre. I can see why people from other places get so ticked. it isn't fair that others have to wait 3 months when some are a month. vermont should take on more states.


The states maybe smaller in size, but they have alot of people. I don't know for sure if Vermont has less petitions, but I doubt it. I agree with the other posts in that Vermont is just more efficient and there should be some uniformity in how the service centers process the petitions.

I am just beginning the process and can not answer your other questions. I have had bad experiences with the Paris embassy, when we tried unsuccessfully to obtain a tourist visa. The phone numbers they give cost money to call and ask a simple question. Bon Chance!

Also, if you want to get answer to your question in person:
The Immigrant Visa (IV) unit of the U.S. Embassy in Paris will receive in-person general inquiries and requests for information on Fridays ONLY starting at 12:00 pm. Please note that admissions end at 12:00 p.m. so interested parties should arrive well before that hour to ensure they will be admitted. We request that you appear in person, as we are unable to respond to phone, e-mail, or letter inquiries.
