In panic mode already!

Hello All, my fiance and I just received notice that our petition has been approved for the K-1 visa!

But now this leads to a whole host of a million questions regarding the post NOA2 steps....which somehow seems more confusing than the initial petition process!

Two questions:

1) Is there anywhere on VJ that lists the step by step process from NOA2 approval to interview? I'm confused as to where we go from here and how.....like when my fiance can schedule his medical appointment or when we can start gathering documents such as my employment letter, etc etc.....I don't even know how long it takes to go from NOA2 approval to an interview? Days? Weeks?

2) I am also trying to clear up the whole discrepency regarding Question 11 on the I-134 for London Embassy filers---what do we put on there exactly?

Again thanks so much for helping me find my way in this great sea of confusion! My head won't stop spinning with all of the things my fiance and I need to get done before we get that visa in hand! B)

1. You can check the K1 flowchart. It will give you the steps to follow after the NOA2. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...amp;page=k1flow

2. As for the second question you can post the same question in the regional forum. There you can find other couples that are undergoing this process or has finished all together.

Hope thisd helped a bit.

PEACE...............

Regarding question 2, I put "I intend" and then wrote, "All funds and accommodation needed for the duration of his stay". We just passed our interview on Oct 21.

Regarding question 1, highly suggest the Guides area at the top. It has everything post NOA2 you need. Have your fiance start filling out this paperwork: http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/visa/iv/iv_15.html and requesting his police check. Get your i-134 and supporting documentation to him as soon as possible.

If you filed in California, you can start calling the National Visa Center in 10 days to see what the status of your petition is. 603-334-0700 Hit the prompts to speak to an operator. The automated system doesn't work for K1 applications.

After your petition transits to your embassy, then you can call the Dept of State for status. Once they say "the embassy has sent the P3 packet to your fiance", then you can start sending in the DOS forms you need (check the guides for them) and schedule the medical.

This forum is probably your next stop from here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;#entry3437903

Good luck! Hope that helps some. It's a lot to summarise all in one spot.

By the way, the length of the journey varies. Ours lasted 7 months from sending our i129F packet until POE, which will be in 4 days.

Just wanted to say thank you to all of those who responded to my query for all of your timely advice!

Ian and Lisa--I'm so happy for you that your POE is coming up so soon! I hope that my fiance and I's will be sooner rather than later....but we here at VJ all know what the waiting game is like......
