K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPacket 3 after NOA2
I am a little confused about this whole process too.. I just got approved and was gonna start preparing everything so I can send it off when I get the info from the embassy. Can I access D-156 in advance or are they gonna send me a link? Also, I printed out the instructions for k1 applicants and it lists everything on there that I need to send in but it doesn't mention anything about the proof of our ongoing relationship? Is that not necessary anymore?

Did you have to pay any USCIS Immigration fee at the embassy?
And did you fill out form D-260?


No you pay the fee online before you go there. The only things you have to take to the embassy are your passport and the letter/email they sent you with the appointment although I didn't need that either. Everything else you have to send there once the embassy receives your stuff from NVC.

Is it really a 8 week wait to get a NVC case number and invoice number? 



Mine Tool about 10 days so no 8 weeks is not normal. Keep calling them!

That is sooooo awesome. I hope that the embassy in Germany will be fast on my case too. Did you pay the fee at Roskos + Meier as soon as you got your NVC case #?

 

I'm sure they will! I paid the fee even before I had the case number, they don't ask you for it when you pay it.

I got my interview appointment today..the embassy in Germany is really fast apparently. We sent off pack 3 a little over a week ago, last Thursday I got an email that sth was missing, we sent it that same day and today, a week later, I get an email with my appointment next week!!! Crazy!

nope still have to send all the stuff to the embassy. I wonder how long it's gonna take for them to schedule the interview after they received all that.

I already had my medical in Hamburg. It was super easy, only needed one shot. I asked them if I would get a copy of that medical report they fill out or how that's gonna work for when I apply for adjustment of status but they said that they couldn't give out a copy since it's a medical document so I hope that I'll get some sort of certification or whatever from the embassy that shows that I had the medical so that I don't have to do it all over again.

I had calld them too a day before the mail came in. They told me that they had sent it out on August 6th so I'm sure you'll be getting your case number soon too!

Nothing yet from NVC here either and it's been about 3 weeks since NOA2 came in.

Haha that's awesome! So can you send the packet to the embassy even if you're not approved yet?

Hey everyone, I have a question and hopefully someone here can help me..I'm preparing all the documents for pack 3 (which I of course haven't gotten yet) and its asking me for date of marriage. We, however, don't have a date yet because this process is so unpredictable that it is hard to set a date. Can I just put N/A there or do we NEED a date? Also, I can get my medical done before I get the package from the embassy right? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know how long approximately it takes from NOA2 to the interview? I'm going back to the US on a tourist visa on August 7 and was gonna stay for three months but that's prolly not smart at all.. I was thinking maybe 4-6 weeks? By then I should have gotten that package from the embassy right?

Thanks guys!! I'm sure things will move super fast for all of you! I wasn't expecting this to happen so fast so I'm a little overwhelmed right now lol I do have a question about the medical exam..can it be from any doctor?
Oh and also, what other documents do I need? Does anyone have a link to a site with all the info? I have a flight to go back on August 7, can I still enter on the visa waiver even though the k1 is in process now?

Just checked again and five or six petitions before me have been approved yesterday and today...but I guess that doesn't really mean anything considering the logic behind all this processing..lol

I've been checking EAC numbers too and the one right ahead of me ending in 2762 got an rfe, all others are still in initial review.. I wished someone could explain the logic behind this processing process to me lol

Hi I've been using this website ever since I started doing my research on the K1 visa process and I finally decided to join :) We also filed for K1 in May. We sent it off on May 1 and got our NOA1 on the 6th so it went pretty fast..that's probably the only thing that's going to be fast though..:-D

Thanks for your help!! I had a feeling the 5 months was too good to be true. I asked my lawyer but I haven't gotten a response, figured I'd see if some of you could assist. I do appreciate it!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCould use some assistance!

My wife and I turned in our I-130 on January 30th and our I-129F on March 10th. I am getting some mixed information about the time period I'm looking at till we get our interview. I see on the USCIS webpage it says processing times for each packet is 5 months. It was my understanding that after the 5 month processing time we'd then be scheduled for our interview in Moscow. I was hoping for July sometime but from looking at other timelines here it seems people are waiting almost a year for their interview date.

I have been thinking about moving with my wife somewhere as we are waiting for our interview but if It's only going to be 3 or 4 months we'll probably wait it out, if it will be longer I'd like for us to move together somewhere. With the situation in Ukraine, Russia, and the responses from the US, I would prefer that we are together and somewhere neutral.

 

Can anyone give me some information about this, is there much more to the process after the I-130's are processed. I'm trying to get my head around all the steps and processes but I'm still a bit behind I'm afraid.
