K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresk-2 Visa. Where to Start?
We are waiting for the Consulate in Guangzhou to receive our case.
So I still have some time. crying.gif
I have listed him (her son/my future step-son) on form DS-230 "Question 21b. Person(s) named in 14 and 19 who will follow you to the United States at a later date."

Will he attend the interview with her?
Or is the K-2 completely separate?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiling Forms

Good afternoon all. I feel so blessed to have found this site. Already, I have learned a lot by just reading some of the posts. I have question. I noticed that most people here are filing the K-1 Visa without an attorney. Or, I should say no one mentions using an a lawyer. Has anyone been successful in filing this way. Next...can one of the senior members detail a list of lingo used in the timelines? For instance, what is NOIA? I see that a lot. It would be helpful because I am preparing my K-1 application for my Ghanaian fiance. Oh one more question...I just got back from Ghana and cannot bear going and leaving my fiance again. It was really tough. But, do you think we will have a better chance if I visited again?

Thanks for the info.

Erika

To answer your questions NOA1 stands for Notice of apporval...that would be the I-129 NOA2 would be the I-130. As far as using a lawyer I don't think they can do anymore than you can at this stage. Just read all you can and educate yourself to the process. I don't know what you found when you were there but I found the american embassy was not very helpful. I therefore came back to the states and started the process in December 2005. We are currently waiting on an appointment date. Be prepared for a long wait and get your elected congressman and senator involved early on. That way if anything goes worng they will know about it. Good luck.

Yeah, I have the email that signifies that we can pay the IV bill, The AOS fee has been there around for sometime, now we are ready to pay both. To my realization, my husband can't pay it both at the same time. We just have to wait for the AOS to have a PAID status, then we'll pay the IV bill.

Just trying to hit two birds at one shot. lol

But as soon as the two bills shows as paid, can we send the AOS package and IV package at the same time in separate folders? Someone here, did the same thing?


I could pay both at the same time (two separate transactions but paid them both within 2 minutes of each other)


Thanks Blue.

Just to recapitulate what you said..
My husband can pay the AOS fee first, then after 2 minutes,another transaction for the IV bill? is that correct?

however, i still am waiting......LOl despite the fact that i have made numerous attempts to get my fiels moving. Sometimes they tell me the files are not assinged. And the last time i called, i was told the files are on an officer's Desk . Yet , i have not recieved any sort of correspondence or updates.

Just waiting and waiting.

I think hubby put them in 2 different envelopes provided by NVC. We didn't want to confuse them...


I see.

headbonk.gif laughing.gif I mean about that, putting them in separate envelope, but we'll submit them at the same time.

So, we can submit them at the same time, but in different envelop?

I'm a lil worried here coz others said that in a matter of days they at least received a response from NVC saying that they received the email, and there will be another email confirming that the DS3032 is accepted...
But in my case, eversince I emailed it last 16, still I haven't receive a response from them, does this mean they didn't received it? or should I send it again?
I received the hardcopy of DS3032 just few moments ago so I'm thinking if I should still mail this, or my husband who is in US who also got a copy of DS3032 that I already signed.

Hey fellows,

We have the AOS fee bill now, we also got the IIN.
My question is, do we need to send first the DS3032 and wait for it to be accepted, before we pay the AOS, or we can do it both at the same time?

feedbacks please....


The AOS fee can be paid as soon as you have your IIN.

Yes, send out the DS-3032 now. The DS-3032 is not connected to the AOS. The DS-3032 must be accepted before the IV fee will be generated. Once it is accepted your IV fee will be generated and once that is registered as paid your DS-230 can be sent. Good luck.



Thanks OBX.

I'll send the DS 3032 through email, does it need any barcode like when you will snail mail it?
or just the plain template from the jame's shortcut?



I used the template from Loto's guide (http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Email_DS-3032_form).
In the subject line I put my NVC case#, full name and DOB. I did not receive a read receipt but it was accpeted via email about 6 days later. Good luck.


Ok. My DS3032 is on its way to NVC. I'll snail mail it soon.
Thanks again.

Btw, I'm trying to find out if I can actually send the DS3032 now. But when I called the NVC, the agent didn't say anything.He just said that when they received our papers, and when they start processing it.
How do you guys know that the Ds3032 is now generated?... Will you know this through the AVR, or you have to call them and ask?
