US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionSending package 3 before you get package 3?
Wait until at lease the embassy have told you P3 has been sent out. You still have to go though NVC and there are sometimes hold ups there.

Will go through all the forms linked above - fantastic that you can't save them before printing isn't it?

Yes! Make sure you have a good internet connection and printer full of ink!

Have you called to book your medical?


Yes, did that a few days back. All booked up for Friday the 13th biggrin.gif Hope the snow's cleared by then!

Am working through the forms now - I don't have a printer at home, so am having to do them at work.

How do you fill in the section about how long you are staying, the purpose of your trip and how you're paying for it? Just N/A it all?

I put - PERMANENT. K1 VISA.

I have to leave this little chat now because I am no longer between NOA2 and interview!!! My interview was fine and I was in and out of the Embassy pretty quick, so now just waiting for the visa delivery. Yay!! I will try and post a review of my interview soon but it keeps telling me I must be registered first, which quite clearly I am! Will keep trying. Good luck to the rest of you still waiting for interview and safe travels.

GREAT! What an awesome gift! star_smile.gif

Luke calls every Monday. Not much else we can do. If I call London, it will cost me £1.20/min and I'm pretty sure I won't get any kind of a resonable answer... I'm pretty frustrated because our petition already got held up for 6 weeks after NOA2 before it got to NVC, whilst most others went through in a week. Was hoping to have my interview before Christmas but that put pay to that, and now it looks like we're gonna get delayed AGAIN for no reason. Grrrrr.... Sorry to vent!


Hey, it is frustrating, but hang in there. I know.

There is always some reason - we just don't know why.....

You are allowed to vent!

Look on the bright side - if you leave after Christmas the flight will be £300 cheaper! The way I look at it is like this... I have done most of the year on my own, I'm damn sure I can manage one day. Plus, next year I won't be with my family in the UK so I'm going to make the most of it.

And does anyone know what happens when my NOA2 validity runs out? It expires on January 11th. Will the Embassy automatically extend it or do I have to fill out yet more forms?

It automatically gets extended.

Hang in there it took us about 3 months to get sent to NVC. You should calls the

USCIS director s office at 202-272-8000 . Our case was stuck after ir was approved and finally after calling the directors office we saw some action on it. Hopefully they can help you out.
Thank you too! I will call them also.

Hi there smile.gif

We're currently awaiting Packet 3 from London...seems to be taking forever.

-Kelly



How de we get in touch with the London embassy? I want to find out if they sent out our packet 3.


Hello,

Please take a look at the link below for the embassy. You will need to call the number they provide and they will give you a email code that is good for one week to make inquaries about your case. From what I've heard they will not answer questions on the phone.

http://london.usembassy.gov/

Good luck & I wish you a speedy journey!!


I called the Department of State and they gave me the dates things were received and sent out. They're VERY helpful and, dare I say it, friendly. 1-202-663-1225 press 1 and then 0...it'll bypass all the instructions for other things and get you in line to talk to a Visa Officer. Have your case number and your social security number on hand...and also birthdates of you and your fiance. Good luck!! smile.gif

Great! Thank you. I have been calling NVC.

I beg your pardon. It's 6 months in which to enter the USA and use the K1. I was thinking of this at work today. So you'll have a little more time! Good luck.

Marmite Lovers!FemaleUnited Kingdom2008-10-03 08:28:00

I understand that the NOA2 is vaild for 4 months only. Once you have the K1 in your passport you have 3 months to use it. So 7 months from whatever date your NOA2 is. 7 months from now is April/May. I hope this helps.

The process can be slow or fast depending on how quick you send your packet 3 back. As for asking for a later interview date ect...I don't know the answer. I'm sure you could, but most of us want it quicker!

I'm in the same boat as everyone else. The embassy sent out package 3 on Monday, so I'm just waiting for it to arrive. Hopefully tomorrow?!? Just found out I need to have an MMR jab too! Argh! And I'm STILL waiting for my police certificate, I sent off the forms last Tuesday. I know it may take 10 working days, but I've seen fellow VJ Fliers get theirs in 4 days. I'm a tad worried. Should I email them?

Stevo


Welcome to our boat!

MMR, not a problem I don't think, however, I do know my doctors don't keep the adult MMR in stock - it has to be ordered in. When did you have your medical?

My police cert came in less than a week. Don't worry yet...well not until your really read to send packet 3 back anyway. You could always drop them a line, it'll do no harm I guess.

Hey Marmite lover smile.gif I'm a hater of marmite laughing.gif
I am at the stage where I could have had my interview by now but I moved house and that caused a few major problems...alas just had my medical yesterday and should be granted an interview by the end of this month hopefully. DOS should be receiving your petition by now judging by your timeline smile.gif DOS is the best part.. the part where you can actually talk to a human!! They are sooo helpful and they give you up to date information on your case. The best of luck to you and all of those who are patiently waiting on their NOA2s it won't be long now!!

Welcome to the London Embassy club! No marmite sandwiches for you!

How was the medical?

NVC still haven't received our paperwork, so as yet we have no case number...but soon hopefully. I have called them 3 times already. . They say 2-4 weeks and upto 90 days......I see people getting them quicker though.

Hi, we just found out that our case was sent to London some time last week. Is there a way to track our case or to know when it has arrived at the London embassy? What should we be doing in the mean time? What vacinations will my hubby need ? And how about the police record, should I tell him to go ahead and get it now or is it better to wait till packet 3 arrives. Im lost and confused.


Welcome Dip Sticks, thank you for joining me. Maybe some others will be along.

I think you can track it via DHL, so I hear.....

Get your documents ready. No need to wait for your poilce cert. I already have mine and it only took a week.

What have you done so far?

Are you a K3'er?

PhilippinesHow to set interview date
I'm sure it gets sent to NVC first, then sent on to the embassy in your country.

From what I gather, this takes about a month. And all depends on how quick they process in that embassy. Make sure you have everything else you need ready, so when the time comes your ready!

Good luck.
