NOA2-NVC-process question

[andrew va thuy 0]

If I go to the NVC center forum, there's a pinned diagram.

That diagram depicts a form I-864 Affadavit oF Support going to me and a form DS-3032 mailed to the fiance ?? Vietnam Only when botha are complete and fees have changed hands does the package go to Consulate

Really ? How can all those forms be checked in days or even several weeks ? It takes a long time just to clear the NOA2 hurdle.

Moreover it seems as though HCM is asking for Affidavit of Support ( I-134 ).

Further the pdf's made available in this site for Packet 3 & 4 talk of $160 to get a Visa at HCM. This is a different VISA fee than the I-129 F ..no doubt.

I just need a map ! I need to start preparing but I am not sure which forms... please advise.

Thanks Andrew

The information provided in the NVC forum relates primarily to people filing marriage based visas like the CR-1.

Since you are filing for a K-1, your case will be at the NVC for just a brief time while they conduct FBI name background checks then get forwarded to the HCMC consulate where they will prepare packet 3 for your fiance which will include a DS-230 for your fiance to send back and affidavit of support form I-134 for you to fill out.

There was a $100 fee for the interview 2 years ago (my God, has it been that long?) when my wife sent back pack 3. It wouldn't suprise me if the fee has gone up to $160 now.

Hi andrew va thuy,

You can add your timeline to your posts by manually inputing/updating the information in the signature settings area.

You should be all set after those steps. So it is a matter of manually getting it in there and then updating it manually as new steps are completed.

Should K-1 fiance(e) visa applicants use the I-864 or the I-134?

Since fiance(e)s are nonimmigrant visa applicants, they should use the I-134. They will need to submit an I-864 to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) when they adjust status to conditional immigrant in the United States after they are married.

So we get to do both - just i-864 later

Baby steps!!! Please stay focus on getting the I-134 ready with PERFECTION! Let's worry about the I864 later, once she gets here!
