Wow - I can't believe we're finally at the point where we're talking about NOA2s and the packets thereafter! Fantastic!

- The original K-1 Guide (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?autocom=custom&page=k1guide) offers some details about what to include.

- Here is the download page for all K-1 forms, including post-NOA2 forms (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?autocom=custom&page=k1forms)

- And I thought these sample interview questions were worth looking at, too (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?autocom=custom&page=exampleq#k1)

All the best!!! - JB

It feels like just the other day that we were all getting excited when we received our NOA1's and like you say Bono, we're now moving on to the NOA2 stage :wow:

being that i didn't submit my app till the first of january im a lil behind the majority here timewise, but its so awesome that its this close for all of us. As far as a co-sponsor its not a issue, tons of people to actually pick from - either of my parents will help as well as any of the 5 aunts Angela has living in the US. so its all good - really my only question was far as the I-134 since its going to be nearest - the 864 shouldn't be a issue because i will have a job by then.

im counting down the days till i get to see my baby again - i can't wait till i get to see her again - i miss her so much. though with this layoff its going to put a lil damping on what we can do as far as our vacation ( jus going to hafta live with a budget ) but most everything is paid for - tickets and resorts already - only thing that was left was food and scuba and couple other lil things - odds and in's. but the fees and medical come first so when we count down on the budget - that will come out first obiviously. Anyways its going to be a blast and i cannot wait!!

Thanks everyone for being here - its apperciated so much by me.

Hello Mr Twister & a warm welcome to you :star:

No touches on my side either, other than when they probably put it in one of those huge boxes with all the other filers, so nothing to stress about. Some people get approved with absolutly no touches showing at all.

Good luck!

Just hopping along to add my name to the December VSC Filers, the wait's starting to get really unbearable now and so I had a poke around on here and found this thread - great news on December filers receiving NOA2s already!

Package Mailed: 26/12/08

NOA1: 30/12/08

Also, as far as I am aware my US sponsor didn't recieve an email copy of the NOA1, does this mean they have an incorrect email address for her and this should be corrected, or is it just one of those things? Is it possible something important could get mislayed with them attempting to send messages to an address we cannot reach?

Thanks guys and Good Luck to you all!

You don't get an email for NOA1; only for NOA2. But you should have gotten your NOA1 in the mail.
