After NOA2? Some confusion.

[Mia Clakre 0]

Hello Everyone

I am very excited, as our NOA2 finally arrived yesterday!! (We are October filers).

However, I was hoping that someone could clear something up for me. We decided to go through the K1 process with a lawyer, who is incredibly unhelpful and for some reason refuses to answer any questions we have. I wish I had found this site before spending unnecessary $$.

We received this e-mail from our lawyer:

"We just received the approval for the first step of the process. I'll be sending you documents for the next step, which we can't file until we hear from the US State Department in about 30 days."

That is all it said.

Please could someone explain what is meant by this? I thought that our petition is sent to the NVC, then the embassy in the UK, where I will need to take all the remaining documents for my interview? What exactly needs to be filed after hearing from the US State Department?

I'd really appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this-- I did ask our lawyer, but haven't had an answer.

Thank you!

Mia

NVC IS the US State Department.

You really could be doing this yourself, unless you have a "complicated" situation.

In 2-4 weeks NVC "should" have your papers you can call and find out: 603-334-0700.

I suggest calling bright and early to get through the phone lines.

Some people actually talk with someone. When I called I just followed the prompts and inserted my

USCIS number and got my new NVC number, letting me know they had my papers.

I also emailed them to change my husband's (alien) address and they replied that they received it and would be

sending the DS320 to him, although I already had him email them.

Hope this helps, Good Luck.

Why are you using a lawyer. Visa applications through London are very simple and easy to do, unless you have something that will cause big complications
