Yardies need post-NOA2 help

[JQ Smiley BOOM 3]

Hello all I've been on Visa Journey to try to figure out this K3, but never checked in or registered. So now here I am. I stay in las Vegas and my husband as of 7/2008 is in Ochi- I sent off the I130 on February 25, 09 and recvd the NOA1 on March 1st. So I sent off the I 129F on March 7th. Yesterday I recvd the APPROVAL for the I130 petition. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! It was our 3 year anniversary to the day that we met. So I want to know what is the next step? Do I wait for the I129 to be approved or can we go forward with the VISA. The paper says they are forwarding the info to the NVC.

I am so excited Please give the info so I can be prepared.

What does my hubby have to do in JA he is 20min from Ochi in Golden Grove. His older brother works for the police in Kingston and asked if he could assist to get any papers. I advised him Im not sure so he went back to Kingston this weekend not knowing what to assist with. Please all help

Like I said b4 I filed the I130and got approved in 30 days. So they said they will forward to NVC and also to my hubby. So can you please answer these questions because the k3 guides were easy at first but now Im confused because I didnt think it would all happen this fast. wowowow

Im going to JA on April 3rd -12 and would love to have papers ready to be filled out and maybe dropped off in Kingston.

1. What is this DS-230 you are all talking about and do I have to download them to give to Kingston embassy

2. What is the fee for the DS-230 (not sure if thats the right form name)

3. Now am I filing for the CR1/IR1? what is this

4. Call NVC and they dont have any knowledge of my case? how long does it take

This thread pertains more to K-1 visas but go back a few posts and you'll see some info for CR1 business. Also, take your time and read the guides, it pretty much has everything you need to know. What you can't figure out, ask us or do a search under the appropriate thread in the forums and you'll probably find it has been posted many times before. If that fails, go ahead and post it in the forum that pertains to your situation. Good luck!

I have a question about the DS 230 (well OK a few). How long does it take to get an appt to drop it off? I was wondering what the turn around time was. Also, do you call or email to make this appt? Lastly, my SO just has one day off (which I'm sure most of your SO's have too) so is it possible to ask for a certain day of the week? Sorry for so many questions. I would like to go with my SO to drop it off so I'm wondering about how much time I have to plan a trip over there.

I remember calling. My SO ended up going to the Embassy and asking for an appointment to drop off the DS 230.

When I e-mailed for an appt I got a date about 2 weeks later and they replied within 2-3 days to that e-mail. Go back to page 2 since there's some detailed info on asking for the appt. Write the consularkingst e-mail address and state something in the subject line about wanting an appt to drop off DS-230 & include your case # in the subject line. When you write them, you can ask if it can be scheduled on a specific day and explain that's his day off but of course there's no guarantee. They seem to be fairly accommodating though. However, certain transactions may take place on specific days so all you can do is ask. As far as taking time off to go help him drop it off, I wouldn't bother. Save your money and time off for the interview!

Thanks KK and Ells!! I was just thinking if I was planning on going to visit anyways then maybe it could be during the drop off date since I will rent a car and it will be easier for him to get to Kingston that way.

Is there a way to find out when your case gets to NVC or do you just have to wait for the letter from them? I know there is a way to try and track your package via DHL from NVC to the embassy, but I was just wondering aside from calling and checking if there is a way to find out that your package as reached NVC.

There was some debate on another thread about the DS-230. The part that ask for schools attended? Did you put just college, like the example form shows or did you include all of their schools right from when they started?
