Recently Approved but Not Sure About What's Next

[someonespecial 0]

Ok I recently received NOA2 and was reading some of the post for the process for the Jamaican Embassy and read a post that said I would have to send DS-230 before we can get a interview date and wanted to know if that is correct, and can you please just tell me the process from here on out because I was under the impression that they would send us a interview date with all the forms/info that we need to bring to the interview.

Hi HA...and welcome to VJ.

The US Embassy in Jamaica will mail a Packet 3 with instructions on what is required prior to scheduling an interview. However, this packet will not have a scheduled interview date. You can actually start filling out the forms before your fiance' gets the Packet 3 (the Jamaican mail system is not very reliable and will often waste considerable time). Once you complete the DS230, you can email the Embassy for a date to drop off the form. They will not accept you without a reserved date to drop the form off.

Then, you can have your fiance' start gathering supporting documents such as the non-impendiment form, his police records, passport photos, getting his immunization records, etc. Once you receive an interview date, then you can schedule his medical.

Hope this helps. You can PM Dillon as she is the most recent yardie to complete an interview at the Jamaican Embassy. Best wishes!

Hello all I've been on Visa Journey to try to figure out this K3, but never checked in or registered. So now here I am. I stay in las Vegas and my husband as of 7/2008 is in Ochi- I sent off the I130 on February 25, 09 and recvd the NOA1 on March 1st. So I sent off the I 129F on March 7th. Yesterday I recvd the APPROVAL for the I130 petition. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! It was our 3 year anniversary to the day that we met. So I want to know what is the next step? Do I wait for the I129 to be approved or can we go forward with the VISA. The paper says they are forwarding the info to the NVC.

I am so excited Please give the info so I can be prepared.
