Got NOA1 - now what?

[ao_cons 1]

We already got our first notice. They've cashed the check too. I know there are more forms to be filled out and more documents required. Do we just wait at this point or start gathering the documents? I'd like to make sure because I dont' want to get those docs (e.g. police clearance, etc.) too early as they may require more recent dates.

Please advise us on what to do next. Thanks.

Hi there, Have you read through the guides at the top of the page? I found them rather useful. We are awaiting our NOA2, which seems to be taking about 4 months or so right now for a K-1 visa, so we are waiting a couple months before we start gathering the rest of the paperwork. We want to be already for the approval that we hope is coming. You can start to fill in your timeline on your profile though. Someone else whose completely a similar journey as yours will probably come along and give you some advice. GOOD LUCK!

Yes, I've been reading the guides and currently looking for sample forms of OF-169 and the others. What I'd like to know is do we start gathering the docs now or wait until we get the NOA2? We got our NOA1 late in September. I'd also like to know whether the pre-interview and interview forms/docs pertain to the pettioner or the petitioned?

For the police clearance for example. How recent dooes it have to be? Can I get it a couple of months in advance? And who is it for, me or my husban? Also, is it necessary to get police clearances from ALL countries I have been to, besides my place of birth/residence? We are in Thailand and filed our petition from here. I have made visa runs to neighboring countries to renew my visa. I stayed just around the border. Do I need a police clearance?

What about the original "long" birth certificate, divorce, adoption, military records, etc.? Are these pertaining to me or the US citizen spouse?

If you are the beneficiary it is you that will need a police certificate, required for any contries you have resided in for more than 1year from the age of 16.

For interview in the UK we have to take originals of beneficiaries birt cert, marriage cert, divorce papers, military records etc. But also originals of petitioners docs that would been copied and sent with original I-129F
