I got my NOA 2 on March 4th and have called the NVC no. all week and the pre-recorded recording still says no record of my case no? How long does it normally take NVC to get your NOA2 and have the voice recording changed etc?

K1's are not put in the automated system at NVC. You have to speak to a real person. If you check the automated system it will always say your information has not been received. You are probably already through NVC and on the way to the consulate.

There's a line on the form, that says: has anyone filled it out on your behalf?

Just sign your name and date it. Indicate you are a fiancee. That's all

I didn't sign the form as having completed it for him. Was told that was only for lawyers, translators. etc. We had no problems at all.

Hey Guys,

This sounds very weird. But it is true. I just can't believe it.

After NOA1 on Nov 23rd and a touch on Dec 1st, there was no activity on my case. Today i have checked the USCIS status site to see if i get lucky today. But there was no update.

After my evening run, i picked up my mail and found a letter from NVC stating that they have received my approved petition and the case will be sent to the consulate in a week.

As of now i feel like i am on the moon! Let me know if any one is in the same boat.

I am booking my flight now! Can't wait to see my love.

Thanks

BooBoo

Update:

Today i finally got a mail from USCIS saying the case was approved and NOA2 is on the way. On the other side of the consulate has received the petition and they are about to send the interview notice which will happen in two to three weeks. No packet 3 in chennai.

Thanks

Why is there no packet 3 in chennai? Does that apply for delhi to. I just got my file approved today by NVC and file is being forwarded to Embassy. I wonder if we will have packet 3? How far out are the interview dates generally ( 2 - 3 weeks ) i read online some where its 2 -3 months?

I know I am sooo excited. I would of never been able to do it without everyones helps from VISA JOURNEY.. I still cant believe it, I thought for sure I would have a RFE, or my 1134 would be denied, but Nope, it all went smooth from all the help I had a long the way from all you guys and this site! Thanks a lot everyone! It all should go pretty smoothly from ur NOA2

FYI everyone here are the things we made sure we had even before packet 3 to make things go faster was..

New birthcertificate for my fiance signed by authorities in panama.

Copy of something called a "solterio" its a paper stating you are single and never been married

I-134, mine was pretty bad since I JUST got employeed and have been out of the country for 2 years with no recent tax records, so I had my mother CO sponsor as well, she filled out the form, got a letter from the bank stating how much money has came in and went in the last year,(she has average income) and a letter from her employer stating she has worked there "This amount of time" making "this amount of money" and is a permanent employee there. I did not have any tax statments or pay stubs and they were not needed for us those are the only two documents we sent with him for the I-134

Also we had to get a police certificate from Panama stating he has no crimes.

These are the only things he took to his interview. when he got packet 3 he told them he already most of those papers ready at home, there fore they had him fill out the DS- XXX form, (sorry I forget the name) but it is the one they provide for you. He filled it out there, and since he explained he already had most of his stuff they game him an interview the next week. I think they sometimes give people far away interviews because they know how long it can take to get all those documents needed (Took us 1 month before) and dont want to set a date for an interview and then come to find you do not have some papers still, also they could just be backed up with other visas. NOT SURE... anyways the date of the interview, he said it took about 2 hours, they just asked him a few questions about me and where we meet and about my family. He said it was only about 20 minutes long of actual interview and then he had to pay around 130 for the Visa there. They ended up approving him on the spot and told him they would call him when he could pick the visa up.

I am not sure if this helps any of you but just wanted to give you an idea of what happened for us incase anyone was curious about the process.

GOOD LUCK I am sure I will see most of you on the AOS filers very soon!

There is packet 3. The representative at the consulate may not know the actual process for K-1. We received the Packet 3 on 3/13/10. The consulate says as of now the interviews will be within 2 to 3 weeks after returning packet 3.

Linds in Croatia the barcode on DS-156 is only important when you are applying for B1/B2 visa (tourist visa). They are not using this barcode for K1.

It is important to complete the form and that's it. I wouldn't sign.

Finally after almost a month Dan got the infamous package 3 (today). Im still not sure what it says, he yet has to scan and e-mail it to me but he mentioned something about the interviews being at least 5 months out. Not sure if that's him speculating or if the package 3 actually says something about it.

On a different subject... Im a creature of habit so im not liking the new look of the forums... well, not yet

How do you know if the embassy got the paperwork? I called the delhi embassy and they kept on transferring me to different numbers and then finally the person on the phone said call between 2-4:30pm delhi time....it drove me insane...........is it the same for you guys out there?

I'm not sure. I didnt even bother to call, according to the Montreal Portal they dont give much info over the phone, their preferred method of contact is e-mail. I e-mailed them but never got a reply. You can check your country's portal. They may have more info about how to contact the Embassy

I'd second the opinion that the forums just look different (in a bad way) since they changed the formatting. I think there is just more space than there was previously, or something like that.

We have our visa interview at the Port-of-Spain embassy in about 7 hours. Crossing fingers and toes...!
