NOA2 - now what

I just came home from a holiday visiting my wife and yes yes yes we got NOA2.

I am confused what is qualifying date? I saw something on NVC website about it.
Also how can I do things as quickly as possible? I saw somw guide with some shortcuts?

It will go through Warsaw embassy. Will they send me package with documents and 864?
We want to collect as much before as we can. I think we need the following:
How do I find NVC case number? The number on 797 form is same as number of NOA1 form?

DS-230
3032 (can I send by email and how)?
Original long brith certificate (not translated)
Copy of biographic pages of passport.
Medical certificate
Police certificate.
Any help if appreciated and any way to speed things as well.
Thanks

yes i emailed the ds 3032.
what do you mean the actual packet? did she fill out the ds 230 and signed it?
and yes, i sent all those documents you have listed to my husband, nothing more.

Yes she did. I did not know if they send some special envelope to return documents in. So I just send those items and DS-230? OK
I got great news I am going to Krakow beginning Sept for work!

send it in with your AOS packet unless you sent that in already. My husband sent mine and there was no problems with the address it came from

Hi Gosia,

Do I need her actual packet or just the documents that will be in in. Did you have anything other than what I had listed?

I have been trying to log in there everyday.
I have a question, my wife already emailed 3032. Should she have waited until they sent the email first? If yes should she email 3032 again after she gets email from NVC?

nvc process

Is it required to send a photocopy of the IV packet to NVC????

this is what the VJ guide says about the nvc steps

3) Email DS-3032 (Choice of Agent) by the beneficiary to NVCINQUIRY@state.gov making the U.S petitioner as the agent (Email format: http://www.visajourn...il_DS-3032_form)
4) Log in to NVC online payment system at https://ceac.state.g...ice/signon.aspx to see AOS and IV fee are generated
5) Pay Affidavit of Support (AOS - I-864) review fee $88 and Immigrant Visa (DS-230) fee $404, if generated. Payment status will be 'IN PROCESS' after the payment. In 1 or 2 days, the status will be 'PAID'
6) When the status shows 'PAID', print out AOS barcode sheet and IV barcode sheet
7) Express mail AOS packet and IV packet to NVC
Co-sponsor's AOS is needed if the petitioner's income is below the poverty
line defined in I-864P every year.
AOS Packet
a. Bar-coded cover sheet
b. Completed and signed form I-864 by the petitioner
c. IRS tax transcripts for the last three years
(Call IRS at 800-908-9946 to order them for free)
d. Petitioner's employment letter
e. Petitioner's pay stubs for the current year
IV Packet
a. Bar-coded cover sheet
b. 2 Passport-sized photographs of the beneficiary
c. Completed and signed form DS-230 Part 1 by the beneficiary
d. Completed and 'unsigned' form DS-230 Part 2 by the beneficiary
e. Photocopy of the biographic data page of the beneficiary's passport
f. Original/Certified birth certificate of the beneficiary
g. Original/Certified marriage certificate of the beneficiary and the petitioner
h. Original police certificate(s) of the beneficiary
i. Original/Certified divorce decree of the beneficiary's prior marriage(s), if applicable
j. Original military certificate of the beneficiary, if applicable
k. 1 set Photocopy of all the above civil documents
8) NVC reviews both packages and completes the case in about 2 weeks and forwards to the beneficiary's U.S consulate by scheduling beneficiary's interview at the Consulate.

NVC Question

You're right that would make it easy. So there are separate barcode sheets for the AOS and IV. Some people take a shortcut and use the first barcode sheet for both. It seems to work.

Wait a few days and get both coversheets and do it right IMO

NVC Question

No you need your case number and invoice id number to make online payment then print the barcode coversheet to send with documents

Bringing my Canadian wife to US

Thanks for the replies! One other thing that we are not clear on... Will we be able to visit each other during this process? Can she come to the US or can I go to Canada? We have been going back and forth visiting each other for over a year. Sometimes a couple times a month. 8-12 months apart seems like a VERY long time

Can't do K!, they are already married. Yes you can visit each other, but when she comes here it is possible for her to be denied entry as they could think she will stay and not return, She should prove ties to home (bank statements, job contract etc..) I know several who have visited during the process and had no problem.

Cancelled IR-1

Enter the diversity visa lottery

Hi all,

My US citizen husband cancelled my IR-1 viza just before it was about to be issued to me. He is still in America and I am in Ukraine. Is there anything I can do to get a green card or viza to come to the US? I am not sure he will help me any.

Thank you all so much!

required documents for interview

Let her carry the copies of I-130, DS-230, I-864 sets. In addition all the other add-on like logs of emails/ telephone calls/ chats......
Yes medical (including imminization) is after interview letter is received - need 5 - 6 2X2 sized passport photos too and some money to pay doctor/ VFS courer.

Yes I was thinking the same but wondered when the guide said originals

Enough evidence of bona fide marriage?

Affidavit could not hurt. Pics together are also good.

Hello!
Below is a list of what I'm including as evidence of our bona fide marriage. Please let me know if you think this is enough. We have been married since 2007, and lived together in Hungary for the past two years, but I am back in the US now. I am a USC. We never had a joint bank account unfortunately, but we filed taxes jointly.

-emails dating back to 2004
-copies of mailed envelopes with both our names at the same address
-an apartment rental agreement with both our names
-US marriage certificate
-tax transcripts for 2 years, Married Filing Jointly

What do you think? Enough? Should I get an affidavit from a friend or family member attesting to the bona fides of our marriage?

Thank you!

At medical the Dr. Marked the form for vaccines and gave her the sealed envelope, so does it mean she is good to go or not?

Would the Dr. tell her all is OK and give her the envelope if she needed something more?

Great if I could get that doc or a link I would appreciate it.

We sped through the shortcuts so fast she has not yet even received anything from the NVC yet and they will probably be scheduling the interview next week
