January '09 I-129 filers at CSC

[Danu 19]

I would check the timeline on the wait at Vancouver minnew, I know for Montreal I will be sending mine off right away without everything in my hands because its still about 3 months for an interview.

Yeah Montreal always takes around 3 months for an interview, Vancouver hopefully is scheduling still around 4-6 weeks from what another member had said.

QUESTION~~~

on saturday i recieved a letter from NVC saying they recieved our approved I-129F (k-1) petition and will be forwarding it to our foreign consulate in a week.

(the confusion between the NOA2 and NVC letter is b/c i was on vacation, so my mother read me the letter, i just assumed it was the NOA2, but upon returning home and looking at letter, it does not look like NOA1 AT ALL)

this is how i found out we were approved

i have yet to receive any paper NOA2 or had the status reflect it online.

we will need this paper NOA2 for AOS and the interview correct?!?!?

what should i do?

Yes I think just a copy of it for the interview and AOS. I guess check the mail again to make sure and if not I would call USCIS to get them to send you another copy of NOA2. They may try to charge you for it though.

oh yeah, they will charge me

340$$$$

340$$$$

Thats ridiculous I'm sorry. I'd maybe wait it out a little longer and see if it turns up? Not sure...

[justucia 0]

im waiting it out for a while

the paper noa2 is not required for interview-

but it is most def required for AOS

i think its a racket!

if this one actual piece of paper is that important-

why not bump up the application by 5$ to ensure NOA2 arrives via certified mail?!?!?!

340$$$$$

........oh well.........

Just called DOS to see if Vancouver had scheduled me yet for an interview and they had! 6 weeks from now! They honored the preferred dates! He also said they had sent out a Packet 4 letter! Woo hoo! Now to find some seat sales to YVR and book my medical!!!

[laura819 0]

Anyone else have any updates? We are still waiting on Packet 3.

[Nik+Heather 121]

Out packet 3 took 7 days for the embassy to send off, so your guy can start looking for it in the mail soon! The embassy info page has the link that they send in the single sheet of paper of packet 3 for London, so you can be all prepared to send it right on back to them. (I'm sure you knew that already though - more saying for posterity if anyone finds this thread. )

yep I already gave him all the info and he says he has the forms all filled out! Have you sent back Packet 3 yet?

[Nik+Heather 121]

No, it seems like Nik has decided he wants to send the forms and the checklist in together. I've really said all I intend to say (to him) on the subject. I mentioned that they can be sent in separately but.......I'm not sure he's finished filling in the forms anyway.

I'm trying not to be a visazilla (close cousin of Bridezilla, for those who don't know) about it.

I guess I'm also not convinced that sending in the forms ahead makes things go faster at London, and we definitely can't send in the checklist until we are sure there are no errors on the police cert (which still has not arrived!!! Grrrrr).

Oh well, in October, a couple weeks extra to get the visa won't seem like long....

Ahh ok. Sven already has his police certificate, and everything else except the financial stuff which I should be sending him tomorrow, so he will be sending packet 3 back immediately.

Got packet 3 today hopefully will be sending it off tomorrow. I can't believe we are so close to being done!
