So I have a question for those of you that have been processed through the NVC. What happens once they scan or enter it in to the system?

do they request any additional information or do they just assign you a case number and then forward the application to the country's embassy?

The reason why I'm asking is because our application has been approved and should be on its way to the NVC. July 26 will be 15 business days from NOA2.

I will be leaving to Vietnam in 2 weeks. we will have our Dam Hoi "Engagement Party" in 4 weeks I'm hoping that everything will be forwarded to Vietnam before i leave... "Hoping" that I'm not asked for any additional information in the mail while i am in Vietnam!

I have all my financial documents ready to prove that I can support her financially but not sure when they will ask for this??

Can anyone share what i would expect from the NVC?

Thanks in advanced

Anthony

The NVC just forwards it to the embassy in your fiance's country. For my fiance and me, we waited until we got notice from the NVC in his country. This was the "packet 3." That will instruct you on what to do next, but the NVC shouldn't request further information for a K1 as far as I know. (For us, they asked for the I-134 to be ready before he turned in his packet 3; however, he doesn't really need the affidavit of support yet... they just want to make sure it is ready for future things...)

I talked with NVC today. they told me to call back next Monday Aug 1. That is 15 days for me. (I also sent in an inquiry yesterday at the 15 day mark from approval. Still wiating to hear on inquiry.) they are saying 15 busuness days right now. I will have to wait and see. But my timesines are based on NVC taking a month to 5 weeks before I can schedule at embassy anyway. I tried to build in some buffer time. Plus work and her female cycle work out best that way. (Now the worry is, if she gets pregnant during the embassy interview while we are the hotel together that week.... )
