unclear about process after NOA2

[seeker2k 0]

hi, i am unclear about the process for K1 visa around my NOA 2 and / or right after it. specifically, what is it and at what stage that will be mailed to my fiance ?

also, we have about 2-3 weeks left until the estimated NOA2 date, and she has to move, how do I go about her change of address with the I129 still at USCIS ? or should we just wait until it gets to the next stage ?

I am worried because she has to do some traveling due to work and family, and the change of address, if she is not there to pick up whatever they sent then it will be returned to sender and we will have more and further delays.

please help if anyone has any info

thanks !

Once the embassy in your fiancee's home country (wherever that might be) receives your documents from the NVC, they will mail her "packet 3" which she will then need to complete and return before an interview will be scheduled. After the embassy has your fiancee's documents, you can contact them directly to make sure they have the proper mailing address for your fiancee.

First thing needed to know is if you are the beneficiary or petitioner, the address change would be important if she is the petitioner and she needs to move before the NOA2 is mailed as USCIS mail will not be forwarded. If she is the beneficiary like the other poster said you can change it at the NVC or the Embassy stage.

Second thing needed to know is what embassy you are working through and that will stipulate what you need to do after the NOA2, embassies have some things in common but many have different requirements and documents that they expect before they will issue a visa.

Best thing to do is click at top of page on guides and study the K1 guide entirely including the FLOWCHART it will help you immensely.

Also go to the embassies website that you are working through and read up on their requirements, another good idea is to go into the REGIONAL forums at VJ to learn the intricacies of your embassy.

Oh yah, waiting on the embassy to mail you the "packet 3" is not such good advice because some embassies don't mail anything they send you a letter or tell you when you call to set interview to visit and download the info from their website, also some countries mail system SUCK and the things that do get mailed never arrive.

Good LUck

The procdure depends on what country. Most embassies have diffrent procedures. Ex. PI K1s don't receive "packet 3".

In that case, the OP should provide some more info about his situation. Mr OP?

hi

sorry, i didnt post complete info

I am the petitioner, she is the beneficiary, she currently lives in Guangzhou, China, and will be moving very soon to another city, either Shanghai or Beijing, wherever her work assigns her, this will be most likely by the end of this month, as you can see from my timeline, our estimated NOA 2 date is Oct 1 - Oct 11, so its coming very close.

thank you for the advice so far, and yes the mail system there sometimes sucks most things get through most of the time, but sometimes we have problems.

we get around it by using EMS so we have precise tracking numbers, and if they mess something up at least we know when to call post office and she can go pick it up directly if need. her job also complicates things because like i said, she often has to travel and if she doesnt know something is waiting for her they will send it back. when we use track numbers she simply tells the post office to hold the delivery for her and not return it to sender.

so i got a little bit of a problem here with this package 3.
