It's all depend on you, which route you want to take. I have seen lots of people including myself who pursue both path to see which route give them better interview date and once they are done with CR1 NVC paper work they convert there k3 interview date into CR1 if the k3 interview date is earlier then CR1.

Best of luck!

Photocopies should be good. But do carry the originals for the interview.

Also make sure your employment letter has salary details. The employment letter must be original.

Help! Samir and I were so eager to get the NOA2 and now we feel like two fish out of water. I am scared and nervous about these next few procedures. When should I expect my NOA2 hard copy? When do I need to start calling NVC? How much time is on our hands to submit the documents? When do we submit the Affadavit of Support? I have a lawyer but he acts like he is waiting on the hard copy and then he will have us gather the information needed. I am really confused though as to what we are about to do. I have read the guides but I guess I am just nervous and still wondering if this approval was a dream. I guess when the lawyer gets my NOA2 it will finally kick in. But now I just feel like I need really good advice from you all. I think we are going with the K3 for now because that is what we had previously informed the lawyer. He is okay with us going either route, but not sure if we have to pay him extra money. I guess he will instruct us either way. I am scared he will slow us down but then again an RFE for a negligent action on our behalf will also slow us down. Therefore, if the lawyer can be sure all the documents are properly filled out we should be straight Insha'Allah/God's willing. Please pray for us everyone and we will do the same for you all.

Mahitab,

Dont worry we are here to help you in anyway we can, do not hesitate to ask question if you are confuse on any part of process. Its all natural to get nervous and confuse, when things happen that you didnt except to happen this early. I felt the same way as you are feeling right now when my file was approved. Look at my timeline that should give you an idea when you should start calling nvc and how long each process takes.

Good luck!

Do not worry; we are here to help each other. I was overwhelmed by the post-approval process (NVC as well as consulate) but "waithatter" helped me understand the process and pretty much calms things down.

Now to answer your questions ...

I received hard copy of NOA2 (130 and 129F ) on 10th Jan 09.

To understand the NVC process, please use the LingChe's guide.

PS: I have not hired lawyer for this process.
