NOA2 will be sent to John. Packet 3 & 4 will come from Cairo and will be sent to Aya likely at residence, unless they pickup on the fact that there is a different mailing address.Dont be surprised if they dont do it as you want. I would recommend that you send the Embassy an email once it leaves NVC letting them know the address issue or even try calling then. It is a common thing in that mail ddelivery in some countries can be difficult especially to rural areas... It is fairly common to have items sent to Postal Boxes in a big city near the beneficiaries town or even to a relatives address.	ScottThuy	Male	Vietnam	2009-07-25 19:37:00

Kimberly, a fellow VJ user whose now husband is from Egypt like I am sent me packet 3 forms.. They were both in English and Arabic and I read then quite a few times. She said she was not sure if I am going to receive exactly similar forms, but at least I have an idea now how they would look like. May be you can ask someone here on VJ that is from England or their fiance/fiancee is from England to send you packet 3 forms if they have reached that stage yet. The photos I sent to John before he sent our K1 papers were actually smaller than his, but he noticed and got them reprinted with the same size as his and like they are supposed to be. I really hope none of gets any RFE's.. It's really hard enough to make it without our loved ones... What I am worried about now (and we all are worried by some reason or another lol) is the medical exam. I don't have a record of the shots that I have had all my life and don't know if I have missed any. I also am not sure what medical problems could be something at the test, not that I have any thank God but just to know... What am I supposed to prepare for it and so on..? Tomorrow I am sending a supplement to my initial filing to address anything that could result in an RFE. I will let you know if the accept it... I originally sent her pic that was the wrong size and her 325A's were not originals they were scanned copies.. oh yeah I also forgot to include a translation of her divorce decree.. . so with all of that I am also including a few things that are unique to her country that are common issues at the interview... if USCIS has seen them, then they can't be an issue at the interview... I put a copy of the NOA1 in there with the bar code to see if that helps things to get matched up in VSC... With luck it won't get returned to me and I may get processed along the way.. yeah I know wishful thinking..	ScottThuy	Male	Vietnam	2009-07-20 16:58:00

It is quite extensive what Thuy will have to take to the interview...Some of the documents that we get during thise portion of the journey will be required much later so they need to be well organized. After my son was born I became a far more patient person.. he's 12 now and I think every day I become more patient... This Journey really tests that patience.... Thuy likes to countdown to things..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	June '09 Filers	Thanks... When it comes to the Medical... They will do what they have to do based on the requirements for your country, but if you can track down any documentation of the shots you have already.. that may save you some pain and time.... I find myself thinking about this whole process far too much some days... I have been through all of my paperwork a number of times and have found some errors in my initial submission... Its a good thing to look back over the forms a few times.. not more than a few times and not every day... But as a SO and not the USC, you MUST know everything that was submitted originally... They will ask questions based on what has been provided... If it was stated that you met a specific way on a given day.. that is it.. no changes .. no variations... in some consulates.. VN especially, they are looking for any reason to deny.... Some countries require a timeline of the relationship... It helps to have one anyway as a way to keep track of what happened when and then if asked.. you may remember more easily and more consistantly. RFE's for something like a picture or a translation are not really a big deal if we are ready for them.... it may cost us a few weeks... not bad in the whole scheme of things... When we started in June my timeline showed and expected NOA2 of late Sept. now I look and see early Dec... that really gets to me... I had hoped we would be blessed with a visa before Christmas, but now I may be lucky to see it happen by Valentines day... its amazing the difference between CSC and VSC...

There is a great resource for you n the local PI discussion since there are so many folks going through there regularly. I think the key is to create a checklist to keep everything organized and that way nothing is overlooked. Better to have a little more than a little less. Have him call the IRS to get the transcripts out of the way as it takes some time to get them and no sense putting it off... Its just a matter of a phone call...

I have moved from an expectd date of mid Oct to Late Nov as of this AM... I must wonder if VSC is gonna meet the 5 month avg. goal they have by Oct. as was stated in the news. They need to get back on track! Not to say that thhere may be a lack of VJers updating timelines in a timely manner.. Are your dates moving back as well?	ScottThuy	Male	Vietnam	2009-07-11 08:14:00

The way I look at it, it is an uphill battle all the way to try to think ahead of whatever they may ask or ask for in the interview. I unfortunatly have to deal with the toughest consulate out there... I have most of packet 3 & 4 addressed already. We also practice a list of 200+ questions that she may be asked at the interview. Also getting notarized letters saying our ex's don't live with us... Where can I find the packet 3 & 4 stuff so I can get I can get it addressed also. What is contained in packet 3 so my fiance can start getting stuff together for it? Each consulate is different on that one... Check the local discussion for your consulate for an example that someone has posted... The one I have is specific to HCMC VN. here is a link that will help you ... http://www.visajourn...howtopic=202181 Edited by ScottThuy, 10 July 2009 - 04:05 PM.

One thing to note about these numbers is that they depend on folks entering the data in the timeline. If most do that early on, then your individual number should see steady movement. On the other hand, if a lot of members join late in the process (and enter the timeline info accordingly), it will seem as no movement is being made, despite seeing some getting approved. As an example, our number on the Berkeley list was 213 on 6/11. On 6/25 (two weeks later), it was still 213. That is despite over 30 members reporting receipt of an NOA2. What happened was that the same number (over 30) entered the timeline during the same period. So the net result was that our number stayed the same. In short, you can set yourself up for false hopes (and false disappointment) if you give the numbers too much weight. Hopefully most will get the information in early, but there will always be some who didn't find VJ until later in the process. Best of luck to you and keep the faith! I'm still waiting, but the recent approvals are giving me hope (even though I'm still at 205 on that list today, despite 9 approvals just this week). Some good news that someone 70 or so ahead of you on the list got NOA2 already without expedite	ScottThuy	Male	Vietnam	2009-07-01 15:56:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	June '09 Filers	Wow! our June number of folks on Igors list jumped up in the past day or so... my guess we will end up with less than 60 for the month at VSC I looked at the Igors list statistics that breaks it down to avg number processed per day and VSC averaged 3.3 per day over the past year. http://cse.ssl.berke...data/stats.aspx our NOA2's should be less than 4 months out with the drop in filers... that equates to fewer files between ours and the next step.

Just wish they would cash our check. We really want to get married next spring so let's pray for rapid processing. Good luck to us all!!! Hey everyone... I sent my I-129F (actually the lawyer did) on May 28th. But I assume they at USCIS didn't receive it until June... Also waiting... And also having patience problems... Hoping to move in December... What do you, more experienced guys, think? Will I have time to have everything done by Dec? Good luck to all of us! December may happen, check out this link to K1 timelines for brazil... some faster some slower... http://www.visajourn...ist...7,28&cfl= Hey ScottThuy, Thanks for the link!! Yeah, hope it happens in December - or earlier... Who knows? Hope VSC goes a little faster and everything goes smoothly... I can't wait!! By the way, good luck for you both on your journey!! Thanks, I am actually pretty optimistic when it comes to the possibility that VSC processing times will drop in the coming months... If there is any relationship to the number of members timelines here to the actual number of submissions, then the amount of work to be done is dropping and they should get caught up soon.
