Hi everyone!

I'm trying to remain zen, but I'm on the verge of losing it again ... Still no P3 ... maybe tomorrow, if not I'm going to be p*ssed off. I bought chocolate and salty crackers to share with my co-workers. A perfect excuse to eat away the frustration

Alex ... Gordon is right, you don't have to do the medical before sending in the P3. Doesn't it say 'arrange for a medical"?

Jen, that's a whole list to take care of ... good luck with all that!

Impetite, welcome! I have no idea on how it works when a kid is involved, maybe someone else can help you.

Congrats on the new approval(s) ...

Have a great week all.

@Tarantula.

You can go ahead and fill out the forms. I only got a letter from Frankfurt giving me my new case number. You actually dont get the papers anymore, you have to get them online. At least that is what i had to do. I had to go to usembassy.de and then to Immigrant Visas, then to K1 and on the bottom it says what to do when you got approved. There you find the documents.

I am still really confused what to send back and what not. If anyone send it back already let me know PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maddy ... I have to wait for the P3 since I have to send back the checklist.

In Belgium we need to send back: the checklist (checked off, dated and signed) and DS230 Part I (I believe this one needs to be signed) and at the same time pay for the visa and fill in DS-156 online and print it out. We don't have to send the DS156's, we have to take em to the interview with all the rest of the documents ... DS156's must be unsigned. That's all I know right now ...

Afternoon May !!!

How is everyone doing today?

~Sandra

I found that out, that I don't need to do the medical right now, I'm just so anxious and stressed out with everything right now that I misunderstood everything! But I did send out the PKT3 yesterday, the embassy should receive everything tomorrow, and hopefully by the end of this week I will receive my PKT4!

How are things on your side?

~Jen

I know what you are going thru, there is so much to do, that I kind of realized that, taking care of everything else is more stressful than all the forms!

But we are so close our dream day!

~Ryan

So nice to hear from you!!!

~Gordon

Did you receive my message?!

Hi guys! Was kinda quite for a couple days - way too much work to do!

Alex, that is so exciting!!! Hope your interview is not too far away!!!!

Jenni, guess where I saw your dress? Dave brought me fresh issue of Modern Bride, and it's right in there . And by the way that is one impressive list... Makes me kinda worried about all the stuff I have to get done...

Sandra, sorry your packet is not there yet!

Hi Ryan!!!

[Tarantula 0]

Alex ... I'm keeping myself together, but getting very anxious too I hope you receive p4 soon!!!

Ana, thanks ... I just have to be patient.

How was everyone's weekend? I worked all weekend and had no weekend lol. Anyway i just read in another thread that there is a chance that they won't approve the visa if fiance doesn't go to embassy with the applying person. Is that true? are you all going to the interview together or are the girls going all on their own?

[Tarantula 0]

Hi Yevgeniy ... Now don't scare me, I'm going by myself ...

Ana;

Did some research here, and most of the Swedish people had the interviews' 2 weeks after returning the PKT3, crossing my fingers that I will have the same luck!

Do you know if NVC received your Papers yet?

Sandra;

Thank you Sandra! And I hope that you receive your PKT3 soon!

Do you know how busy they are at the American embassy in Belgium?

Yevgeniy;

My weekend was busy but good! Thanks for asking!

Called the American embassy and asked them if Jonathan had to be at the interview, and they said it wasn't obligatory! No need to worry, there is a lot of people here on the visa journey that went to the interview alone and got approved!

[Tarantula 0]

Alex, I have no idea how busy they are. But I think it's kind of busy since they aren't returning e-mails ... We'll see. Thanks ... I hope it too

And yea I think it's mainly in the what they call ''visa-fraud'' countries that bringing the petitioner to the interview is a step ahead ...

Thanks, i don't have time and no way i can go to ukraine, so thanks again. Just got through to NVC and they gave me a new case number. Wohoo

Can my girl now get the Medical out of the way since she got the Kev number from the NVC? or does she have to wait for Packet 3 in her mail? She downloaded the packet and is doing everything in the packet? Can she mail the packet that she downloaded instead of waiting to receive it? Is it exactly the same or is there anything in the packet that they mail that is different?

Thanks again, and good luck on your interview!

Sandra;

You can try to find out by looking at others VJ members (from Belgium) timeline!

You r done with you medical already so when you receive the PKT3 you can pretty much return it the same day! Do you know how the Forms look like? Do you have all the documents of support from your sweetheart?

Yevgeniy;

she should be able to get the medical! But you do have to wait for the PKT3…. I don’t really know how it is in Ukraine but take a look at this: Ukraine embassy

[Ana&D 0]

Sandra, I run a little search for you girl and apparently Belgium is not a popular country, lol. Not much info. Based on those few timelines from the past year, average is 53 days from NOA2 date to receiving visa. And now I'll be glad to go and kick some Belgian postal workers so they would hurry up and make your day

Alex, two weeks? That would be amazing. Are you planning to leave right after the interview? Dave is calling NVC right now to see about our case, so no news yet .

Yevgenij, first of all, she can go ahead and do the medical. As long as you have the KEV number, you guys are fine. We do not have packet 3, and stuff you got from the embassy webpage is the same thing they will mail out. I guess they don't trus our mail service, lol. As to going to the interview... Kiev embassy was reported to be pretty easy. If all your docs are in order and you have evidence of bona find relationship, they often ask no questions what so ever. Thus, it's not really necessary. I talked Dave out of it. I'd much rather he takes time off work when I get there.
