Noa 2 question

[Augustajim 0]

I plan on flying back to China to visit my Fiance On March 25th. My timeline shows that NOA2 should happen on or around March22. Will there be something mailed to me that I am probably going to want and miss because I am in China? I'm going to be there for 35 days, if there is something I'm going to receive do I want to have a friend get it to me in China quickly by UPS of something?

Just your NOA2 itself. If I were going there, I'd take everything I need for her interview with me, all original documents +1 photo copy of each. I'd tell you what you need for her interview, but that seems to vary by consulate, but its safe to say that the main thing you'll need is all the supporting doucmentation for the I-134. You may also want to bring certified copies of: any previous divorce decrees, your birth certificate, deed to any property you own and the amout of any oustanding mortgages on said property, banks statements, bank letter, pay stubs if required, statments from pension plans or brokerage accounts, - everything you might want or need for her interview which may vary by consuate.

You will receive an NOA2 at your address, but you do not need to be there to receive it. If you are setup for email updates from USCIS, you will receive a notification there also. But you don't need to sit at home and wait for anything for NOA2. Of course, if you receive an RFE, it will have to wait to be addressed until you return home. After filing K-1, I did not travel until I had an NOA2. Then I knew USCIS needed nothing more from me!

Like TucsonBill said, take documents and completed forms for packet 3 and the Interview. That way, you can explain what is what face to face.

We must be thinking alike, I have duplicate of everything so far and was planning on taking her a copy of everything. I just didn't know if she needed the originals as mailed from INS for the NOA2. I'm taking my laptop as my 14 yr old son is going and he has to communicate with his school teachers on a weekly basis to stay current. He is not happy he has to do American homework in China!
