Naples Consulate

[strega 1]

OK, im confused, Im a get ready ahead of time person, thats why Im here, (hOPE YOU DONT MIND) and the birth certificate I know if in Italian or English is ok for Naples, he got one we sent with I-129f he said was international and Its called ESTRATTO DELL'ATTO DI NASCITA N , now im wondering, If that is OK also for the I 485 when we get married. and YES, if you do need something translated, I would get it in Italy, here we paid 300 dollars just for his divorce decree, and that was the cheapest we could get it done,,,,I think you can find so many more people in Italy that translate ITALIAN/ENGLISH then you will find in america , so you can shop around........let me know about the birth certificate if you find anything out, and you guys are so lucky,cant wait till I get my interview date or even my NOA2 in that matter

NOTTE!!

Ciao a tutti!

My fiance will be going through the Naples consulate so I just wanted to come on here and say hi! We've only gotten our NOA1 on May 11th and are awaiting NOA2 (or basically any communication at all from the black hole our applications seems to have gone into). BTW is the NOA2 when they notify you it's been sent to the NVC? And then you get notification that it's been transferred to Naples?

Anyhow, I need to find out what docs I can be getting ready in the meantime as the petitioner, and also what he can be getting together in Italy.

CIAO, Bevenuto........NOA2 is notice of action2, they send it when they approve the I-129f and then send it to NVC. then NVC sends it to Naples,,,,,,as for the forms and whats needed for Naples, go to top of page, PORTALS and go to Embassy website, there you can download a K1 visa file that has the information you want, (only dont use all the forms, they are outdated!!) it will give you an idea of what to get together, also the naples website has other info .

Salve! Everyone in this thread - including the Italian "beneficiaries" seems to speak and write English most excellently. My fiance Oscar doesn't speak English yet (he's studying privately with a tutor now but he's really still a beginner) and I'm afraid he's going to get eaten alive by this whole bureaucratic process We're still only at the NOA1 stage, and I as the petitioner filled out the I-129F forms (of course) and am going to be intimately involved in filling out all of the other forms moving forward, but I wanted to ask if others have had the experience going through this with a not-yet-English-speaking fiance. Do you just have to FedEx forms back and forth for signatures, with the US-based person filling everything out and the non-US fiance signing everything? It's very stressful! Oscar is there for me emotionally all the way, but the bureaucracy is falling squarely on my shoulders. Eeek!

JOIN THE CLUB!!! its so STRESSFUL!! omg, you are going to be the one filling out the forms, and then yes, you have to send them there, and count on him to have all the documents needed in hand, to go with them, you will be spending everynight on skype getting the information from him, so you can fill out the forms to send him, personally , i prefer to do them myself anyway so I know they are correct and just have him sign where needed. the time difference is really killing us!! trying to find the right time for both of you to be available is really hard. some people are getting thier SO's to visit so they can do them together, but there is always the risk of not being able to enter at the port of entry due to the fact that they might think he is not going back!!! I want to take that risk, BUT, first he has to finish getting all the info and documents needed and the way its going, dont think we will have enough time before the NOA2 arrives. we want to send the fax right away to get the appointment!! good luck , just remember this is the worst part, after the NOA2, they say it goes so fast...........ciao

Thanks, Strega! Oscar is actually coming to visit me in August. This site has been very helpful and reassuring that he can come visit me, as long as he brings documentation of proof he's intending to return, which he is and he has (letter from boss, apartment lease, car lease, copy of our NOA1 receipt, etc.). He's supposed to stay w/me for a month, but we decided that if anything comes in the mail while he's here, he'll jump on the next plane home so we can get through the next steps. You are right, though, that while he's here we can discuss face to face what docs he'll need to prepare. We also agreed that he would line up an English-speaking "amico/a di fiducia" at home in case he needs to get something done or understand something immediately while I'm asleep or at work due to the fuso orario. Che stress!

Another question re helping your non-English-speaking fiance fill out his/her portion of these docs. On the forms like the DS-156 and DS-230 there's a place where you check the box "did anyone assist you in filling out these forms?". Now, is that just for lawyers and such? Or will Oscar have to check the "yes" box because I - the "petitioner" - have been filling out all of these forms with him? What are you planning to do?

ciao, i put my name as the person who assisted, i dont think it has to be a lawyer. Im so felice that he is going to visit you........looks like Vermont is on end of Feburary right now, so the way I see it, they will be approving March in the next 2 weeks, so you have plenty of time

Il mio fidanzato is from Avellino, east of Naples. I've been to visit there a few times and he's coming to visit me (speriamo!) in August. Venice is beautiful! You're so lucky you get to spend time there with your fiance. I'm sad for you that you can't go this year I'm going through the California filing center and they look like they're approving March filings this month, according to Igor's list.

I'm sorry you can't go this summer! Sicily is soooooo beautiful. Unfortunately I've only been there once.

Hello everybody!

I'm just back from Napoli... EXHAUSTED from two very full and busy days. But at the same time, HAPPY, HAPPY HAPPY!!! There's no real need to spend too many words in saying that everything was a piece of cake. Period. The only advice I would give to anybody is to enjoy the city and its culinary delights. I went with my brother, that kindly accompanied me, and we had such a great time by walking around, having fun and eating delicacies. Forget the terror stories you read around the board; all the people down there are very cool, nice, and helpful. I finally have the K-1 printed in my passport... me and my love are now thinking of the date for my forthcoming comeback, while the marriage date is practically set and certain since a long time.

Hope everything is fine with you, and I wish you the best. You'll all be fine, don't worry! B)

Talk to you later. Ciaaaaao!!!

Stefano
