K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI have serious question
the NOA2 says your case was approved then they send the case to the NVC (National Visa Center) where is assigned a new case number (MNL#) and sent to Manila, so you have to wait the letter notifying the new case number

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCreation of NVC Case Record #
you can fill out the forms (ds-2100 and ds-230 part I) but you can't send it because in the ds-2100 form is required the new case number. Request an appointment with the doctor is easy you can call them once you have your interview date. For lab work you don't need an appointment (tests are taken only in the morning 6-10 am) . For other documents (BC, DAS, etc) is a good time to start gathering

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCreation of NVC Case Record #
the NVC takes 1 or 2 weeks to assign the new case number (BGT#xxx) it is the average time, you may receive news this week

good luck!

to download forms:
ds-2100 (pag. 4): http://spanish.bogot...sakfeb-2010.pdf
ds-230: http://spanish.bogot...isakfeb2010.pdf
The pck 3 must be send when you have certainty that the embassy has already received your case.

I'm not sure if the links above work, you can try this one:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNOA 2 approved - Things I should know?
1. you entire package is forwarded to the embassy, is recommended a copy of this pack, just in case they lose some document
2. You must to submit your most recent U.S. Federal income tax return (Form 1040) and wage statements (Form W-2). Also: Employment letters stating salaries with the I-134 form (original I-134 must be sent) and recents paystubs (at least 3 months)
3. That's correct, but it could take time (1 or 2 months), she can use the shortcut downloading the forms and emailing the pck 3 (forms ds-230 and ds-2100)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCould it be bad for the application, if you send too much information?
wouldn't be bad if you sent the documents required to the application (see checklist)

we got the first notification (NOA1) after 2 days of submitting the application. The NOA2 took 106 days, but could take less o more time, each case is different.

best wishes on your Visajourney :star:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresG-325a form and K-1 visa fee

you said that the 350 is paid at the interview correct that is to cover what exactly?

the US$350 is the visa fee only, you must also pay the medical tests (more $$$$ :( ) the visa fee, at least in Colombia must be payed before the interview.
dakay ?FemaleColombia2010-07-07 12:53:00

that's correct, and check the minimum income requirement with the poverty guideline

I recommend you read some guides to clarify the steps involved, here the K1 Flowchart
for her adjustment of status, she must be in USA, there is no other way. She can not return to Poland while she is adjusting, just if she has any emergency to return, but she will need the advance parole to travel

are you sure you have not received a notification from the USCIS or NVC? all cases absolutely all, going through the NVC and they will send your case to the embassy. The NVC will send you a letter indicating the new case number

is not clear who has a different address. If is the USC doesn't need to do anything, if os the beneficiary he/she must provide the address in the ds-2100 form when send the pck 3 to the embassy to get the interview date, in that address they will send the appointment letter (pck 4)
dakay ?FemaleColombia2010-07-11 20:33:00

the operator is obviously wrong, the USCIS send your case to the NVC, who assign the new case number and send it to the embassy and you will receive a letter with your new case number

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI need help
I'm not sure if you're waiting for your NOA1 or NOA2, you say you received "I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)" in this letter at the top right says I-797C? because if so, it is NOA1, and to get the NOA2 you have to wait at least 3 months

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresRegarding Communication Emails For......
just send a few ones, if you prefer, each for each year and some more recent. In our case we selected almost 10 emails.

And, do I need to send my yahoo account information so they can login and check the emails


are you serious?
dakay ?FemaleColombia2010-07-23 13:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresprocessing times for visa?
counting from the day we submit the I-129F until the date of interview were almost 7 months, keep in mind that a RF or a AP may occur during the process and it increases the time in 1-2 months or even more

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAOS and medical
you don't need the I-693 form. I was in the same situation and thinking that I had to pay to any CS just for transcribe a worksheet, and I found that if you have the vaccination worksheet (ds-3025) you can send a copy. I know people who got the green card just sending this copy, no issues at all.
As far as I know, now Consulates don't grant the visa if you do not have complete medical tests with vaccines, previously was allowed to enter the U.S. with incomplete medical examinations, so it was necessary to go to a CS to complete the tests and get the I-693 form.
