National Visa Center (Dept of State)processing times with NVC

Saylin, I just checked out your spreadsheet, and I am even more upset! So many people got the IV fee wayyy before me..i mean people who started at the NVC in July My case was received in NVC June 4, case number assigned june 24, AOS paid and DS 261 completed July10 and IV invoiced Septem. 12, DS 260 completed Septem 13! I waited for the IV fee for 61 days! I pray to God that we get case complete before October 20 at the latest! Our AOS and IV packages were both scanned on August 19.  Our government , immigration process for spouses of AMERICANS is BULLSHIT! I am sorry for venting , Im just so disgusted by this process.  I am originally from Europe(came here as a child) and bringing your spouse to a European country takes 3-5months tops!  I have two half sisters in Germany, they are NOT German citizens, they have permanent residency, they married from Bosnia also, and their process took 3 months.  I have cousins in Italy, Holland, Denmark, their procedures took around 3-5 months as well.  And I as an American CITIZEN need to wait a freaking year to be with my husband! The worst thing is that he can't even stay here while waiting for his green card! To say that I am disappointed with the American government, would be a MAJOR understatement!

It's not as of September 15! This bullshit started somewhere in July! I waited 61 freaking days for my IV invoice! Had to talk to a supervisor to make them unlock it! I've read of other people only waiting two weeks!

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Stupid checklist!!!

My scan date is August 19.  I sent both packages together.  I called them today and after 65 dials and an hour on wait ( I fell asleep) she told me we got two checklists!!!! One is for my w2...im not even sure if i have a w2 since i was self employed up until recently(we have a co sponsor too) ...i gotta check on that.  Do self employed people get a w2?

 

The other checklist is for my husbands police certificate. I don't know what could be wrong with that... He got a brand new police certificate for NVC, from the exact same police department he did last time, for USCIS.  I sent the original , along with a photocopy and my certified translation.  Just like we did for USCIS! We never had any problems with them! Anyway....I'm devestated, im so upset, can't calm down....im so cautious and obsessed when it comes to our paperwork, i can't believe they found a problem with it! I never got any RFE's in USCIS! :(

I guess I'll just have to wait until they sent me the explanation letter, which should be in 3-5 business days she says.  How long does one usually wait for a letter after getting checklist?

 

Also, we got expedited at the USCIS stage, because of natural disaster( floods in Bosnia). I didn't want to expedite at NVC because i thought it was gonna be done in a few weeks...NVC was a fast process before the backlog as you all can remember.  Now i  want to send an expedite request at NVC.....how long does it take to get a response when filing for an expedite at the NVC? Also if expedited at the NVC how long does it take to get interview? 

 

Thanks in advance for any help

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresK-3/Spousal Immigrant Visa Forms

The marriage certificate is proof of the legal name change, not the documents! Use her new name, and put her maiden name down where it asks for the maiden name.  USCIS knows that it takes a long time to get all documents changed.  My marriage certificate, birth certificate and Bosnian ID are all under my married name and all my US documents are still under my maiden name.

Oh, I like all of the UAE, my husband and I dream of moving there.  What makes you want to live in the USA? Why not UAE? Sorry for asking , it's just that people from the USA usually move to UAE because of better lifestyle/economy.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInterview in 4 days but didn't received appointment letter!
That's weird, a couple of years ago, while I was in Bosnia, my passport got stolen and I had to get a new one in the embassy. I know I had to schedule an appt. online and print out the appointment letter, they ask for that at the entrance. Call and ask whether they are going to let you in without the appointment letter? Be specific, tell her you are worried that they won't let you in!

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)I-601 waiver Ground of Inadmissibility

I'm talking about the I-601 also
 
Back in 2008 they were taking a year outside of the US.
 
 
Centralized Filing and Adjudication for Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility

Beginning June 4, 2012, immigrant visa applicants who are applying for a waiver of a ground of inadmissibility from outside the United States will file the Form I-601, Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility, by mail with a USCIS domestic Lockbox facility, rather than with a USCIS international field office, or a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. The Lockbox facility will send all Form I-601 applications submitted by international filers to the USCIS Nebraska Service Center (NSC) for adjudication.
USCIS international field offices that accept Form I-601 filings by appointment will no longer schedule new appointments for filing Form I-601
 









Again, I was speaking mainly about the i-601a, not the I-601. I was commenting on the wait time of both. Did you do the i-601 or the i-601a? Basically, I was saying that from experience and experience of others it seems the process has gone faster now than before. However, not enough time has passed to come to a definite conclusion on that.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)I-601 waiver Ground of Inadmissibility

I don't know when your friend filed, but years ago the waivers used to be processed outside of the US. That has changed and now they are processed within the US at the NSC.  Before the I-601a existed, they were being processed within 4 months. Ever since the I-601a's came about, the I-601's have been pushed out to 6-8 months while the I-601a's are flying through. 
 
If your friend filed before the I-601's started being processed in the US, ten I can absolutely understand why it has taken so long. Back in 2008 I was about to file a waiver for my husband at that time. It would have been processed in Honduras and the timeframe they gave me was up to 1 year.   I was never EVER told 3 years.  The embassy told me a year and my lawyer told me a year. ( not SEVERAL years )


More specifically,it became effective March 4, 2013. So, I am curious as to where people are getting that it takes a huge amount of time? I filed for my husbandin May of 2013 and in was approved August 31, 2013. It was about 3 1/2 to 4 months.

And by the waivers I mean the i-601a. The one that took several years was the i-601.

The waivers began to be processed in the US in March 2013 (you can look it up in USCIS website). The time frame given was always of 1 year (I was going to do the waiver in 2010 and again in 2011 and both times I was also told a year) What wasnt told was that every case depended on whatever the person getting your case thought was needed. There were absolutely no guidelines nor a way of demonstrating extreme hardship when the person had already left the country because of the extreme anti-immigrant sentiment at the time. The most a punishment would last would be 10 years, but they could also give out lesser punishments. In our experience, and seeing the experience of others, we did not trust that it would take 1 year. Others also had to go to court because they refused to leave their families. Now the process is way better. We have only heard of approvals, with denials being giving to those who entered twice or have some criminal history. My friend had no criminal history and she had entered only once but "they" still gave her the 3 year punishment. That was in 2009. One was taking a huge risk of never being together again or of a prolonged process before the i-601a. Not saying the EVERY SINGLE case was like this, but since we live in almost an exclusive hispanic community, we heard of a load of cases that ended up this way.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)I-601 waiver Ground of Inadmissibility

Hi everyone

I filed my waiver on September 23, 2013 few days later I got the receipt i.e on September 26, 2013. Then, Nebraska took 6 months and 1 day, I got approval on 27 march 2014.

I don't know whats next...only thing I know is there will be another interview at New Delhi.

My question is that is this interview is to interrogate me about waiver application of just to collect updated documents like new medical, police clearence and new I 864 etc?

Please shed some light on after approval process. And how it is processed in New Delhi INDIA? Please if anyone knows.

Mexico has different procedure than all other US embassies around the world.










If you want to know how it goes, just look at your country's embassy. You can also call them. With an approved waiver, you are just like any another immigrant. The waiver means you are no longer ineligible to enter the country. So pretend you didnt have to do the waiver and look up the rest of the process on the USCIS website.

Great thank you for the update, they are sooo ridiculously backlogged, you would think as much as we pay for this service, they could hire people to speed up this process, before the i-601A these waivers were taking 2-4 months tops. this is soo sad, to hear it is taking so long.


Not to sound contradictory, but in fact in most cases before the i-106a, these cases were taking several years. We know at least two people who have been waiting 5 and 8 years respectively. With the i-106a, the cases are actually going a lot faster than before. Initially, most lawyers woud tell us to be ready to wait at least 3 years to get it approved. One of my friends from Boston was approved but was given still 3 years as punishment and she had a newborn son. Just some info.

Please shed some light on after approval process at New Delhi INDIA


From what is known, in your country of origin they will look more specifically at financial support and evidence of relationship. They will ask you when you entered the US and when you left. Mind you, THE WAIVER DOES NOT BECOME ACTIVE OR VALID UNTIL YOU LEAVE THE US. Just answer what they ask, DO NOT INITIATE CONVERSATION OR ADD UNNECESSARY DETAILS. If your approval was given for your waiver, you no longer need to worry about the waiver. It was approved and it cannot be revoked unless you break the law in some way. And again, your waiver is not even active until you leave the US.
So now, just worry about having strong financial support (co-sponsors make that a garantee) and a lot of relationship evidence.
Hope this helps!

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)I-601 waiver Ground of Inadmissibility

I sent you a message, but just for the public's use and info, it took us 4 months to get our waiver approved. However, my husband was in the states. I wouldn't recommend leaving at all. The amendment was done in March 2013 precisely so that families wouldn't have to be apart during the waiver process. The best situation is that, if the person applying for the waiver is a man, to show that he is the sole or the greater bread winner in the family. If a woman, it's better to have had a child in the US (primary child care giver) and be the emotional support for the us citizen husband. If no children, then to demonstrate how the woman contributes to the stability of the family, as well as contributes economically to the household, if possible. In other words, either one has to demonstrate WHY they should stay and WHO benefits from their staying here.

Hi everyone! My husband and I returned from Guatemala just a week ago. We did the I-160 waiver. If anyone has any questions about it, let me know!! It was quick and painless for us.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Help(601 waiver)
To do the waiver, you HAVE TO get a lawyer. If anything goes wrong, only a lawyer can represent you. We paid $400 to get it done (total was about $1000 with the waiver fee, which is $680). A lawyer is your best option to get it done quickly and with few complications if any. Stand your ground and let them know that you know that few waivers have been done if you are using the new amendment through a US citizen wife or husband. So, they don't really know what they are doing, which gives you and advantage when it comes to payment. Ask how many waivers they have done and if they have proof. Ask to speak to someone who has done the waiver successfully with them. If they get upset, move on. Itsa red flag when a lawyer is not willing to backup expertise with evidence. Either way, you need a lawyer. Just read up also so you are well informed about the process so a lawyer doesn't try to rip you off.

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaI havent heard from the embassy
They are just going crazy I guess!!

When you call the embassy, just keep pressing buttons. They will give you info but AFTER it, someone will pickup your call. I've called probably three times this week and always get someone and they are very nice and professional. In my husband's case, his stuff hasnt left NVC and they already sent us his interview date for Feb. 4th. When you call the embassy, have the applicant's passport number and a number the embassy can call in Guatemala. They are there you just have to be patient. Also, the embassy will not contact you. You have to contact them. And the NVC was supposed to schedule your interview. Call NVC and ask what's up.

So on december 20th we recieved the letter from the NVC stating that our case had been forwarded to the Guatemalan Embassy as part of the process (our papers were approved in November by the Texas service center). I havent heard anything from the embassy and when i try to contact them by phone all i get is a call center with basic information about non.immigrant visas i cant seen to get someone to ask them specifically about my process, i cant even get anyone on the phone its all programmed stuff.. i wonder if this is a fairly regular time period for the embassy not to contact me or if i should start contacting them.. Has anything like this happened to anyone? what should i do?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionHas anyone done a consular visa follow up appointment after I-601 Waiver Approval?
From my current experience, my husband is from Guatemala, this interview would be a visa interview? Has the lawyer explained what it means? Because if it is a visa interview, then he needs to bring with him proof of your relationship, your daughter's birth certificate and marriage certificate, both in originals is best. Make sure you know what this means for him. If his waiver was approved, than you don't need to worry about anything except proving your relationship is real. Hope everything goes well!!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionCan we schedual an interview apointment before the medical?

We already scheduled the medical appointment it's in two weeks. we were wondering if we can schedule the interview now also? i heard it takes about a month for the interview and he will have his medical results before then. Also on the London embassy website it says they won't schedule an appointment before we get the results. One more question, what would I need to schedule an appointment. I know this is a lot to explain but it would help so much. Thank you for the help.we looked on this site but we heard otherwise.

( http://london.usemba...xamination.html ) thanks.

CaribbeanWhat to Do after receiving your NOA2
Hey,

Thanks a ton for the feedback.

After the NOA 2 approval, about how long does it usually take for my fiancee to receive the Packet
to her house in the dominican republic?
Do i also receive a letter from NVC?

BTW,
While we wait for that, i had her go get her Birth Certificate updated and
also her passport.

Is there anything else you think i should have her do while we wait
for her to get the Packet?



No problem at all.

Keep in mind 2 things have changed;

1) The medical exam records are now being sent over to the Consulate, so you will not have to pick them up the day before.

2) Change in Fees:

Before the Interview: 2 separate payments of $160us & $15us at Banco Popular. Make sure you bring both receipts to the Interview.

Day of the Interview: Pay $80us. Pay Domex $9.50-$12(visa delivery service)

After Receiving the NOA2

(The information below is specifically for those acquiring K1 Visas in the Dominican Republic; those who are obtaining Cr1/Ir1 Visas may find “some” of this information useful as well.



CONGRATS ON YOUR PETITION APPROVAL!!! Below are the steps you need to take next. Be ProActive! Don’t wait for anything! Please read the steps below. And don’t forget to BREATHE before reading this, it’s a lot.

K1 Flowchart: Here is a timeline of the K1 Process
http://www.visajourn.../content/k1flow

Dominican Republic Embassy Information
http://www.visajourn...y=Santo Domingo

*NOA2 Received
After your case is approved it’s sent to the National Visa Center (NVC) where its re-checked and packaged. It’s then forwarded to the Embassy in Santo Domingo. You can now begin gathering evidence for your case and the "required documents" needed for the Interview. The wait time for your Interview is “usually” 2-3 months. The Embassy will then send the beneficiary (Dominican born) a list of K1 Visa INSTRUCTIONS for your upcoming Interview (Cita). Follow them exactly. The instructions on the Embassy’s website are nearly identical to the instructions the beneficiary will receive by mail (inside Packet 4). The link is below:

K1 Instructions
http://santodomingo....structions.html (MOST IMPORTANT!!!!)

Additionally, follow the steps here. Again, it's a lot but, it’s worth it! After your case is forwarded to the Embassy in Santo Domingo most people just wait “unsure” of what’s going on. For you to get valid information just wait 1-2 weeks after receiving your NVC notice and call (toll-free) to the Visa Specialist (Department of State) in Washington D.C. (202-663-1225). Press Option 1 then Option 0 to speak to a visa specialist. (Do not waste your money calling the Embassy or Mexico Hotline number). The Visa Specialist will tell you when your case was mailed to the beneficiary and when your interview (Cita) date is scheduled. Also keep checking the Interview List to see when your interview is scheduled. The interview lists are posted 2 months at a time. Make sure you have Adobe Reader so you can view them. Once you open the file just type in the Case # that was printed on your NVC notice. Ex: NVC Notice (SDO2012...) to find your Interview date. If your date is not listed check the following month’s list.

Interview List (It’s updated the last week of every month).
http://santodomingo....pointments.html

Your packet (Packet 4) will be mailed by the mail service in Dominican Republic (Inposdom). Which may take forever (or it may never arrive at all). The mailing system in the Dominican Republic is “very bad” and many people never receive their packets. The website below may be of some help. Remember there is no Packet 3, only Packet 4!

Dominican Republic mailing system (Inposdom):
http://inposdom.gob.do/

In the meantime (DURING the WAITING PERIOD), just keep calling the Visa Specialist and checking the Interview List. Since some people never receive their packets, you need to be proactive! This is huge problem for many Dominican residents who are in the visa process. You wait and wait and wait for something “so important” to arrive and it may never come. Follow these steps and take care of your business.
#1: Follow the K1 Instructions posted on the Embassy’s website
#2 Keep calling the Visa Specialist
#3 Keep checking the Interview List
If you receive your Interview Date before you receive your Packet 4 and your Interview Date is approaching (2 weeks before interview), you need to call the Embassy and schedule a day to pick up a duplicate Packet 4.
In order to knockout 2 birds with 1 stone, you need to plan wisely. When you go to pick up the duplicate Packet 4 from the Embassy, it is wise to go immediately to the Medical Office (Consultorios De Visa) and get your medical exam done. The medical cannot be done if you do not receive your Medical Appointment Letter that comes inside of Packet 4. The Medical results need to be picked up the day before your interview and taken with you to the Interview the next day.

*Preparing for Interview:
Follow the K-1 Visa INSTRUCTIONS. Your Dominican born fiancé/fiancée (beneficiary) needs to begin completing the required forms (for specifics, check the Interview Checklist further down).
Since you have at least a couple of months (varies from 1-3 months) before your interview, you can practice filling out the required forms and finalize them later; they are available on VJ and USCIS). Next you want to get the birth certificate (legalized long/extensa version), passport, passport photos, etc. If your partner does not have their Dominican passport yet, read “How to Obtain Dominican passport” below:
http://www.dr1.com/f...n-passport.html

My fiancée and I did all of these things while waiting. Try not to drive yourself crazy. Just use this time to prepare. In addition, gather all the evidence you will need for your interview (phone records, emails, pics, travel documents, receipts, etc). The last thing my fiancée and I did was update/finalize our forms. She got her police report (30 days before her interview date), reprinted visa forms, and I updated my income/employment documents. NOTE: We decided to type (PDF file) all of our information instead of handwriting, it makes things a lot easier to read. My fiancée went to a local notary and had them type in her information and print.

I had everything done 1 month before the interview but had to get new letters (dates closer to the interview). Remember, some interviews are scheduled much faster than others so you may have less time. U.S. citizens need to bring all documents for the interview with them. If possible, you may need to meet your Dominican-born fiancé/fiancée 1-2 days before the interview to double-check everything before traveling to the Embassy. Hotel accommodations and links are posted below if you plan on staying in a hotel close (and reasonably priced) to the Embassy.
http://www.visajourn...y=Santo Domingo

Finally, during the waiting period, you should also be practice “interviewing” each other. Sample interview questions are posted further down. Make sure you know enough about each other. Names of close family members, first date details, how you first met, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. It’s really important both of you have at least one common language that you communicate in. At the interview, they ask you which language you prefer to speak in (English or Spanish). Interview Experiences are also posted further down.

*The Medical Exam
The beneficiary’s medical exam will be completed by Consultorios De Visa in Santo Domingo (a few miles from the Embassy). The Medical exam must be done at least 5 business days before your scheduled interview. You will need to take with you the following: Dominican passport, your Cedula (national ID), 3 passport pictures, and your Medical Appointment letter. My fiancée was there ALL DAY (7am-5pm). It’s crowded and very busy. Make sure you bring the exact amount in US dollars (prices vary by age/gender) so you avoid any problems. It’s strongly recommended that you get your vaccinations too. For more information, check the links below. Remember results must be picked up the day before the Interview.

Medical Exam info:
http://santodomingo....vaccines-e.html Prices of Exam & Vaccinations

http://www.consultor....com/index.html Consultorios De Visa official site (Includes videos)

Financial Docs: (Affidavits)
Once your NOA2 arrives, you need to complete the affidavit and get a letter from your current employer (stating you have a job with them and you make $$$ a year), also you need a letter from your bank (stating how much money you deposited in the past year), and also 3 months of your most recent pay stubs and last 3 years of tax returns. There are 2 affidavits (I-134 and I-864). The I-134 is very easy to complete and is usually needed for the K1 interview. The I-864 takes longer to complete and more evidence and its usually only needed for AOS but sometimes asked for during the K1 interview. For more information on the Affidavit of Support, see the link below:
http://www.visajourn...content/support

To be safe just do them both and prepare. When your fiancé(e) gets his/ her Interview Packet, it will tell you what forms you need to bring to the interview. For now I would just complete them both and wait until 2 weeks before the interview date to get a letters from your employer and bank.

*The Interview
Interview Experiences: (PLEASE READ!!!)
http://www.visajourn...&cty=&dfilter=5

Interview Questions: (Not Dom Rep. specific)
http://www.visajourn...ontent/exampleq
Note: If you are suspected of Visa Fraud, the questioning with be very, very personal and INTENSE! Dominican Republic is a High-Visa Fraud country, so be truthful!

Santo Domingo Embassy contact info:
http://santodomingo....-contact-e.html


*Things to Know on Interview Day:
-The interview line gets crowded pretty fast. People arrive in line as early as 5am. Just be careful and make sure there a policia in sight.
-Both beneficiary and petitioner must be there! (Automatic denial if both are not there)
-NO electronics are allowed (http://santodomingo....ed_items-e.html)
- Interview Documents & Evidence can be carried in many different ways (I used plastic seal-able organized folder with labels for each section). Bottom line is BE ORGANIZED. Know were your documents are and have them ready.
-It's best to be prepared because they look for organization and how well you interact with your partner (who must be there).
-Beware of the buscones! They are not Embassy employees and they will rip you off. Ignore them!
-Ask the guard outside what line you need to be in. There are separate lines for each visa-type. Men & women are separated when they enter the Embassy. You will go through metal detectors.
-You will receive a ticket but they are called in “random order.” So your interview time is not really important. Just don’t arrive too late because your number could be called at anytime.
-There are cameras there (and I think they watch how you couples interact with each other) so be aware of that. You may be there anywhere from 3-6 hours.
-Despite the many fans and water fountains, it gets hot in there and a bit uncomfortable (especially the benches). There is a cafeteria where you can buy food and drinks which is good.
-Dress appropriately...Suits for a K1 Visa is probably not necessary and you will may be too hot. I seen people who were very formal and some who look like they were going to a Club. Business-casual or Job-Interview-style is fine.
-Lastly, RELAX! If you’re a “real” couple and you have your things in order you should be fine. Interviews usually last no more than 5 minutes. Unless you’re at WINDOW 11 (Investigations for Fraud). If your case is sent to Administrative Processing, it may take from 6 months-2 years for approval.
-After you’re approved, pay your Domex fee and CELEBRATE! Felicidades!!!

- Travel & Hotel Expenses = Varies

*Receiving K-1 Visa (Domex)
After your Visa is approved, you have to pay Domex (counter located inside of Embassy) to deliver your Visa, Passport, and Medical Results to you. To track your Visa you can use Domex’s website: (make sure you know your tracking #)
http://www.domex.com...pido/index.html

Also, NEVER purchase airline tickets for your partner until they have the VISA IN HAND. Once they receive their K-1 Visa from Domex make sure they understand the requirements. They can only use it once to enter the U.S.; and they have 6 months to use it. There will be an expiration date on it. Accompanied with the K-1 Visa is a sealed packet that must not be opened. It will be brought with them to the U.S. and given to the Customs agent once they arrive in the U.S.
Many beneficiaries have to travel to the States alone (unless accompanied with a child) and you meet them at POE. They should be fine going through Customs; just make sure they understand the LAW (you have to get married within 90 days of entering the U.S. then adjust status.) Let your partner know to “tell Custom’s agent” they are “entering on a K-1 Visa.” Make sure they do not lose their I-94 (stapled to passport), they will need this later for their Social Security card, Driver’s License, and AOS.

*Point of Entry (POE) Reviews:

After you are arm-&-arm with your loved one (you better be after all these months of waiting), relax and enjoy each other. Read up on how to obtain your partner’s Social Security Card and begin planning your marriage/wedding. Read up on State laws for Marriage Licenses. After you are legally married, you can immediately file for Adjustment of Status (AOS).
Note: K-1ers cannot legally work, go to school, or travel outside the U.S. until they receive legal documents (Work Authorization Card, Travel Documents and/or Green Card) through the Adjustment of Status process.

How to K1ers Get a Social Security Card:
This can be troublesome for some. Make sure you follow the link below. Around 7-10 days after arriving in the U.S. the K1ers status should be stored in the system. If you go too early, the Social Security office may not have your records. Since you are not married yet, your fiancée will have to get their Social Security card in their birth name. They can change it only after they get married and your have you marriage certificate. Make sure they bring the following documents (K1 Visa, passport, I-94, 2 proofs of address, SS-5 form).

National Visa Center (Dept of State)What are they asking me for? - split from Stuck in AP thread

After calling them, it seems like they are still waiting to process the AOS checklist, even after having processed documents they received well after this one. Their explanation was that they probably processed one of the documents we sent, which generated this checklist. Apparently, the AOS takes longer to check because it is a longer document.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)STUCK @ NVC for AP Part II

My wife and I are starting to get depressed about being stuck at the NVC. We are still waiting for two documents to be reviewed, one of which they received June 6th. Now, it is looking like I will have to go back to the States next month while she moves back in with her parents to wait for the interview.

 

All of this waiting is ruining the plans we had set up. Who knows how long we will be apart from one another (after having lived together for the past two years)? Just so frustrated that there is literally nothing we can do to make things work out.

CaribbeanWhat to Do after receiving your NOA2
Hey,

Just looked at all your information.
You are an absolute pro with this process.

Very grateful for your help!!

I will keep you posted on any updates.

-Wanted to clarify the timeline for interview:
Lets say that in 30-45 days my fiancee receives the packet4 with interview date.
Currently about how far out would you say that the interview dates are scheduled?? Within a couple weeks or month etc?
My understanding is that the Interview date itself is approximately 60 days from the time the NOA2 is received.


-Also i looked at the K1 application docs on the santodomingo/usembassy website you provided (Awesome)
What i will probably do is fill these on my fiancee's behalf and then mail or bring them to her in DR
for the time of the interview.

Form DS-230 Part 1

Form DS-156

Form DS-157


Again... very grateful


gracias!

CaribbeanWhat to Do after receiving your NOA2
Thanks again.

If the packet 4 takes anywhere from 8-12 weeks, does that mean that
the interview will be scheduled after the packet is supposed to be received which
is anywhere between 60-90 days?

I notice that most people receive their interview around 60 days after NOA 2.
How do i find out when they schedule the interview at consulate in case packet 4 never arrives etc?
Can i call that washington DC phone number that you suggested in your guide?
If so about how long should i wait before i start calling that number?

I also spoke to my fiancee and she said that their is a phone pin number that you
purchase at the bank specifically to make a phone call to consulate specifically
to find out about interview. Wondering if you are familiar with this process.
