November 2012 filers

Yay for all the movement we're seeing, and I do hope those of you still waiting get action REALLY SOON!

Checked my NVC number at that ceac page and today it said IN TRANSIT so I called NVC to make sure -- and yep, it's going out today to the embassy. Can't track on DHL yet (looks like you can track the previous day after 3 pm EST the next day), but should be able to tomorrow, I hope!

And fiancé is booking his medical tomorrow and we're hoping for an interview in early July, or mid-July at the latest. IT IS HAPPENING, finally!

YAY! After spending our entire work days refreshing USCIS endlessly-- we got notified via email at 4:45pm today that we got our NOA2!

Such an amazing feeling!!! Hope the rest of you all get yours soon

FYI-We called USCIS on Monday after work, got a call back from a Tier 2 Tuesday, and today was approved

I went to get my dress altered today and it DOESN'T fit!! Apparently I gained 10 pounds and didnt even notice! Time to work out like crazy

I do have a question.. are we sending the whole packet we first sent in plus new info to just our fiance's or to both the embassy and our fiance's?

My dress is hanging on my closet and waiting to be worn but don't know when, lol. I'm lucky because i don't need any alteration since it came with ropes at the back

Amber -- a lot depends on your fiance's country now, there's no one answer because procedures differ from place to place. London is particularly unique (at least about the financial aspect), so it's always best to check your local regional forums (for example UK here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/99-united-kingdom/ ) for the latest info.

Generally though, you should send to your fiance directly:

- copy of the initial packet (not always needed, but a good idea)

- I-134 financial support forms and supporting evidence (absolutely required!)

- newly signed/dated letter of intent to marry

- any "evidence of relationship" that you didn't include in the initial filing, including any more recent things since November

You as the US Citizen don't send ANYTHING directly to the embassy except in a few rare countries (I think Germany wants the I-134 sent direct? but most do not). Your fiance is now the one in charge, and he will be sending forms and photos and more forms and evidence either to the embassy by mail, or bringing it for his interview.

It's been kinda hard on me to let go of the lead and let/make my fiance start to do the work! But that's how it goes, the burden is on him now to communicate with the embassy and fulfill their requirements.

The amount of evidence required is VERY different from country to country. Generally, Western European embassies don't need anything other than the I-134 form from the USC, but it never hurts to be prepared and they do have the right to ask for any of that stuff. Asian, African, South American embassies are much pickier so always research your local embassy directly. You can email them with any questions once they have your case.

That's a good news

I need to arrange the medical check up soon too, but i'm still busy until next week, i think i'll have it after next week. What will you send to your fiancé?

Oh, this is good. Thanks Lynkali.

Thanks for the information and I agree! I do not like that he will be in control now haha. I've been yelling at him to get his police reports done but he doesn't see the point of doing it yet because I don't have my paper work yet. Ugh! I have a feeling he will put everything off. I'll kick his "#######" lol.

My dress is hanging on my closet and waiting to be worn but don't know when, lol. I'm lucky because i don't need any alteration since it came with ropes at the back

The only thing I needed altered on mine was the sleeves in the beginning. Now that's a whole new story. There's no way to alter the size of the dress though without ruining it. So the only option is for me to work out a lot and eat as healthy as possible!

The embassy has our file since yesterday, when will they email me for the requirements that i need to prepare? Do i have to email or call the embassy?

[~*Amber*~ 4]

I can't find my approval letter I called them and they said I have to fill out form "i-824" which cost $405.. All they have to do is hit print!

wow! This is cool.. My fiancé just got a letter from the NVC and it's our new case number, so instead of telling the new case number on phone, they sent our new case number by mail. Yay! I'm so excited! Now it's time for MCU
