Still waiting for the NOA2. So far, our application hasn't been "touched" yet. *sigh* The wait is long and the anxiety is high. :unsure:

I will be strong and I will pray A LOT. Meanwhile, good luck to everyone else!!

I understand. I'm always more anxious when I'm at work...I think it's because I'm not as busy here as I am at home. Remember that touches don't mean much either way. There are people who have been touched numerous times, but still aren't approved (estadia off the top of my head, I know there are more). There are also a lot of people who never get a single touch...the approval just comes up one day (blake&olha got theirs that way).

You're looking at it the right way...we'll all get through this, it's just hard. The people here are in my prayers every day.

As I have just researched this myself, I thought I might put a few useful links here for what happens after NOA2. The links are specific to my case, which means these links are relevent for people who have their consulate in London, and for K1's applications with no children or no other family members immigrating, and no previous marriage.

link to visajourney guide on what happens next http://www.visajourney.com/faq/k1k2visa-application.html#4.1

link to London consulate on what happens next http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/visa/...processing.html

link to London consulate page which lists forms...the forms for the next stages are in this list http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/visa/.../visaforms.html

link to United Kingdom Police for Police record application. http://www.acpo.police.uk/Certificates/App...0form%20pdf.pdf

The main lessons I have learnt are:

1...practice on the form DS 230 - I as this is the 1st thing the consulate wants from you.(also DS156,DS156K and DS 157..NB some of these forms require compliant passport photo)

2...review the supporting documents list now....if you don't have your full UK birth certificate or have not applied for your police record , be ready to obtain copies or dare I say it, apply for them now....!!

Hope this helps

You sound so much like me! I have a checklist of everything I'm going to need at each stage of the rest of the trip (all the way through filing for AOS, EAD, and AP).

Sorry I didn't post the updated list today folks...we had a bit of a talking to at work this morning about not goofing off at work. It would have been a BAD day to get caught forumming (against the rules). I'll try to get it updated tomorrow and I'm going to start doing the updates from home instead of from work.

Just felt like bumping the thread. I've been trying to refrain from posting because I don't want to go on a rant about the government again :rolleyes: Anyway I hope things start to pick up out in Cali soon, looks like another slow week. I'm curious if they are back to doing name-checks for the FBI again. I hope not
