National Visa Center (Dept of State)Wrong Names
It seems that I misunderstood the fundumentals of how Chinese names are laid out in Pin Yin. Coupled with the fact that my fiancee's son has the first name Yang, which happens to be my fiancee's surname. So I was also confused. At anyrate I sent out the I-129F with the mixed up names. It now approved. My I-797C show my fiancee's middle name as her first name. All our documents should be at the NVC later this week. How do I rectify this problem. I talked to my fiancee about it and she was told by people from the website she uses, that all I need to do is send an email or fax to the consulate in Guangzhou explain what happened, then when she gets packet #3 she fills it in with all the correct information. She was told that it was no big deal because they have all the notarized documents. Is this right? Can someone help me out?

Have your husband to go to the embassy and pick up the packets. My husband did not have his information mailed to him, but he went and stood in the inquiry line and picked up all the information needed. He can also find if the embassy in Iraq has an email address and direct questions via email.

Thank you that all I needed to know. So he can just pick it up. The embassy in Iraq does not conduct interviews for immigration or visas ( I already contacted them)

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 Visa Help!
Hi,

I'm very happy to find this website, I new to the whole immigration stuff. Here is my story I'm US citizen and my husband is Iraqi. We got married in Damascus, Syria last August. I filed for I130 and I129 F. Both got approved at the same time (I received both letters on same day!). I decided to go with the I129F since it's much faster to get the K3 visa. I called NVC and they said that they received my petition and it was sent to the embassy in Damascus. I learned that after the embassy receives the petition, they will contact the spouse (from the foreign country) and send him something called "package 3" which he needs to fill out and return before the interview.

The thing is, my husband lives in Iraq, How will they contact him? There is no mailing service in Iraq now.

Also, will NVC send me a letter saying that my petition is transferred to the embassy in Damascus and give me the DMS case number? I contacted NVC last week and they said that I will not receive any documents from them and that the embassy will contact my husband.

I will really appreciate all the help/advice,

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK3 visa Help!!!!!!!!!????????????

Hello,
If the embassy in Damascus has a website, look there to see if they have instructions and forms for the K-3 visa.
You may also try emailing the Visa section of the embassy.
My husband's K-3 is being processed in Ankara, Turkey. I was able to email the embassy, and they told me that
we didn't have to wait for the packet from them. They said to download the instructions and forms, and mail them
to the embassy. Every embassy is different, but it wouldn't hurt to find out for yourself on their website or email them.

The forms that they asked from my husband were:

DS-230 Part 1
DS-156 - 2 copies
DS-157
My husband's police record - current and archived - with English translations
My husband's original or certified copy of birth certificate - with English translations
Copy and translation of my husband's passport
Our original marriage certificate with translation
My husband's military record - with English translation
I-134 Affidavit of support with copy of my most recent tax forms and W-2 forms

They wanted us to send everything via UPS, and to include a self-address prepaid UPS envelope inside,
just in case they needed to send everything back to them (if there was an error in the documents).

After they received everything, they sent us an interview letter that included more documents to
bring to the interview (medical report, receipt of paying $100 K-3 visa fee).

Good luck!

Thank you Dayna :thumbs:

But did you receive a letter from NVC about your petition being sent to embassy in Turkey? the US embassy in Syria require to send a copy of this letter. I contacted NVC and they said they will not send any letter for me.

Hi,


I filed for I129F to get K3 visa for my husband. It was approved and sent it to the US embassy in Damascus (where we got married). I really don't know what should I do next?

Do my husband or I need to submit any forms after the embassy in Damascus receives the petition? (I heard that you need to submit DS-156 and DS-157, so that the embassy can start procesing the application and send packet 3)



Also, I heard that the embassy will contact my husband and send him packet 3. But my husband lives in Iraq, how will he be contacted(there is no postal service there).

What excatly is in the packet sent by the embassy in Damascus?


I'm confused and I need any help/advice you can give me,

Thank you,
