K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRequest for Evidence- Please help
Just watching timelines here, a lot of NOA2s seem to be issues about 10-14 days after the petitioner sends the response back. So it seems you might have lost 3 weeks or so, plus however long it takes you to gather the additional evidence.

I'm anticipating that I may get an RFE, so I've added a month to my mental calendar for the process. From the notes here, there can be a broad variety of evidence they may be looking for. It could cover pretty much any of the evidence that they asked for in the original petition.

I'm looking at everyone's visa timelines and 90% of the people that filed when I did got their NOA2 this is driving me crazy why why I'm sad all I want is my honey here with me almost three months and still nothing.

Is it true that 90% of mid-December NOA1s have already received NOA2s? Shocking. The CSC isn't even close....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2: Approved after 6 months...!!!
Congratulations! You've hit that moment that things feel that they start moving again. I think the toughest part of the whole process is that limbo time between NOA1 and NOA2, and I'm sure if feels awesome and relieving to be there. Best of luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsYAY NOA2!! (and a question)
It looks like your fiance is from India, is this correct? Update your profile, it will help others assist you better.

Anything I respond with isn't India-centric, so it might not be totally accurate, but it is my second time through the K-1 process.

I would send your previous year's returns, along with an explanation letter about school. At the embassy, they can ask for anything and everything, so as far as "what will they require" it can be different in every case. If they are not comfortable with the first document(s) given, the can ask for more. So send everything you can get ahold of for the Affidavit of Support. Which means previous year's returns, with explanation, the employment letter you CAN get, bank statements, etc. Last year's return SHOULD be sufficient with the other documentation, but I don't know about India. Again, send everything you can get.

Not sure about question 1, other than the NVC will give you a visa case number, different from your petition receipt number. That is the one you will need for interview and fee payment, etc. You will get that number either when packet 3 arrives to your fiance, or by calling the NVC in a week or so to see if it's assigned.

Best of luck! and Congrats for making it this far.

Edit to add: If you update your profile to see your fiancee's country and post in that regional forum, you will get more specific help.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsApproved March 16, 2012 Waiting for Letter from Embassy
Rose, fill in your profile and timeline. The approval you talk about, what exactly is it? When did your fiance file the petition? Is it the first letter he has received or did you file 5 or so months ago and this is the second letter? If it's the second letter, he can start calling the NVC to get your case number for Manila. You don't need to wait for the letter from the embassy. If it's the first letter, you still have some months to go.

There are numerous posts on here that talk about next steps. I am waiting for my second letter, so you guys are either 6 weeks ahead of me, or a few months behind, depending on the Approval he received.

I'm hoping you received you petition approval. If so, he should call NVC, get your case number, then you can pay your visa fee and get your medical done in Phils now without waiting for embassy letter.

Good luck!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2 Received
I received our NOA2 email and text today. The paper copy was mailed today.

However, if you've followed my story it's not necessarily a good thing. Our relationship really ended 2 weeks ago... My letter to withdraw the petition was received and signed for at CSC today also. So we received our NOA2 after 140 days.

Good luck to everyone on your journeys.
