ok going to try this question again.......

[karimcharleen 0]

ok, my fiance said he had read, or heard that i needed to write a letter or something to the consulate before the case finishes here so that the consulate can open a file for him. has anyone had to do this? he would be using the consulate in casa blanca since he is in morocco. i'm confused with this, i have not heard or seen anything about the usc needing to do such.

That would be news to me...

What he probably means is that once your case is approved by USCIS (while it is going through NVC and in transit to the consulate), you can ask the consulate to open a provisional case (or whatever you want to call it). Its asking the consulate to start their paperwork before they receive the case from NVC. It can give you a head start on the consulate sending out packet 3 and probably buy you a few weeks time. Not sure that all consulates would do this.

This would benefit you if your case was taking a while to get to NVC or you were stuck in AP at NVC.

I don't know which consulate are willing to do this. Auckland sometimes is, but we ended up going super fast from NAO2 to the consulate that I never asked them.

ok thanks, so i wouldn't need do that til it gets to nvc then if it is needed (right?)

I've never heard of that being necessary. Also, Casa doesn't send any paperwork to you (at least not in my experience) for you to send back to them. So I don't think it's necessary.

If you're concerned, you could try e-mailing the consulate. They're very good at responding. Most times within 1 business day.

No, not true. The case will be opened at the consulate when they receive the peition from the NVC. The only letter I can imagine you having to write is a new, updated, letter of intent required by some consulates at the inerview. Just use the one your sent for the I-129f and change the date.

Some of the nicer, low fraud consulates will actually send out packet 3 prior to receiving the case from NVC, if you ask them nicely. Auckland will do that sometimes. I don't think somewhere like Morocco would be willing though...

Its called a ""Request for Provisional File"" and you can find a sample on the "example Forms" above.

However, I don't think you would have any luck with a non visa waiver country consulate. I don't know how often people are successful with this, even in friendly countries.

Well when they receive the peition from the NVC in the Consulat they probably send a packet to your Fiance , and he will get the packet in about 2weeks since the receive date and then he will know the date of the interview and what is the stuff he needs to bring with him that day , so all you both need to do now it is saving mooooooooooooooooore conversation and be patience ,

Good luck

My fiancee is from Morocco and I have not heard that. I think that he mabe referring to is the Affidavit of Support, not a letter to send prior to the packet that USCIS will send them. My question to you is where did he read this?
