What happens now?

[Aiedail 0]

I am using a lawyer to file my husband's K3. Currently my lawyer has told me that the NVC has forwarded our petition to his country and that it should physically be there right now. I am a little iffy on the specifics of what happens at this point. I have not received a letter from the NVC yet (I should get that, not my lawyer right?) and as far as I *think* I know, once I get that I need to mail it to my husband so he can go for his police certificate? Do I need to send him a form also for his medical exam? I have tried finding this information by searching so if I sound stupid I apologize, I'm just having trouble understanding what needs to be done from this point on.

Why didn't your lawyer advise you to file for the CR1 visa? It's a better visa, no adjustment of status step, no $1010 adjustment of status fee, green card after entry, ability to work after entry.

I don't know. After talking with her the first time she suggested the K3 and being completely clueless about the process we accepted that.

I filed a K1, so I can only tell you my experience. After you've learned the NVC has forwarded your case to the Embassy in India, you will recieve a letter from them informing you of the Embassy they've sent it to and your newly assigned case number. This case number is important because you will need this to use in all your corespondences with the Embassy.

Do you know which one your case is being sent to? There are 3 U.S. Embassies in India, one in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai. They each have a website with all kinds of very useful information. Just type in US Embassy Delhi, US Embassy Chennai or US Embassy Mumbai and it will show up in google. You'll see a tab at the top of the page that says 'Visa's', click on that and then to the left you'll see all kinds of info on the visa process. You'll also find links to their email addresses so that you can email them your inquiries.

You can even make an inquiry now if you want to see if they've received it yet, they will confirm it in their answer a yay or nay. This is what I did when I learned, like you, that my case had been forwarded to India.

Additionally, researching here on the VJ website is like going to the library in that it provides you with tons of information you'll need to keep you on the right track. Just click on 'GUIDES' at the top of any VJ page and you'll see what I mean.

Pretty soon you'll know as much as your attorney:)

Good luck to you on your journey!

I am going to be calling my lawyer tomorrow morning but I believe she told me that it was sent to New Delhi (which makes no sense as my husband lives in Mumbai). I have to confirm this with her because it makes it seem that if it has been sent there then he will need to travel there for his interview.

I have a question I hope you can answer; when going for the police certificate does he need the letter I will get from the NVC or can he just go and request it? And will he request it from the police station itself?

No he does not...if they say he does, then they are just being a pain. My fiance has had to get his two times (one this year and the one last year) and didn't show anything, he just made the request and it was done.

If he lives in Mumbai, then they have definately made a mistake. Call the NVC and ask them yourself which Embassy they sent it too. Anything the Attorney can do, you can do. So call them and give them your receipt number and they will check, plus they should be able to give you your case number as well, then you can email Mumbai with your case number to see if they've gotten it yet.
