NOA2 Approved! What next?

[ARIANNA 0]

I know there is still more paperwork to be sent and stuff, but I'm not entirely sure what happens now. He would be reciveing the NOA2 in the mail by Friday or Saturday.

We had planned for me to go up to see him on my turist visa by the end of this month and that way leave our daughter with him while I come back for my interview in CDJ when ever I got approved. Because I don't think I can take my daughter with me by myself, I believe it to be too dangerous and read they don't allow anyone else in for the interview. Even a 2 and a half year old wouldn't be able to go in with me?

So can I fly up, leave her there and come down for my interview?

I understand Fiance interviews are open for a 6 month period. True?

Any suggestions on the chapest and easyest way to do this? Because I think it would cost more for me and my dauhgter to fly to CDJ and then both to fly to Vegas to my fiance, than for both of us to fly to Vegas then leave her there and me fly alone to CDJ. Right? Any ideas?

To answer your question about what is next, I suggest you read the K-1 Flowchart, see Step No. 4

About your other questions, is your daughter a US Citizen? If you already have it, you can travel with a B-2 while the K-1 is processing, but its really up to the CBP officer to let you enter the US.

What do you mean by the fiance visa interviews are open for 6 months?

Okay, so please help me understand something.

I've read many times somewhere that the Fiance interviews are open and not on a specific date. Am I wrong on this? I'm getting confused.

Also it says on the flow chart: 1 week 8. Forms and Checklist sent to Beneficiary

Forms and Checklist sent to foreign Beneficiary (Fiance/e).

*This will be sent out within a week (typically less) from when the embassy processes the received petition. This package will include a checklist of items and paperwork that must be collected. Some will be sent back asap, and others will be sent back later or brought to the interview.

Where do they send this? To my home in Mexico? I had understood that they send this to my fiance in the States and then he sends me this. Because if this is the case then I can't go and I have to wait for the papers here.

So can I or can't I go up to see him and wait for my interview and paperwork in the US?

*Yes my daughter has US Citizenship and I do have a Tourist Visa. And I do realize that the POE Officer might not let me in. My real concern here is timeing and not wasting money on flights back and forth.

The beneficiary is you, so yes, the Embassy will send the checklist and instructions to you (foreign fiance), not the the petitioner (US Citizen), sometimes they do send a copy to the petitioner, but you'll get the package first.

The interview is scheduled for a specific date, there is no such thing as being open for 6 months for the K1- interview. The interview will be scheduled after you send back to the embassy (according to the instructions you receive from them) some of the documents of the checklist.

You might get more answers on this if you post on the Latin American Forum, you'll be able to get responses from people who went through your same Consulate.
