Amendment to I-129f

[horseloverinfl 1]

Hello all,

My fiance's friend who works with the embassy in Beirut as a sworn translator is telling us that I need to send USCIS and amendment to include all the documents requested by my fiance' to take the interview when the embassy calls him (DS156, DS 156K, all his birth, police, civil, passport translated docs and the 134). She claims that by sending all the documents that will speed up the process. I am confused, because USCIS say not to send anything they did not ask for. I filed the I-129 f following the application directions. Petition was accepted at the VSC on October 6, 2009 and currently under initial review.

Thank you for this forum, it eases my tensions a lot. Thanks everyone for taking the time to share your exciting news, Happy Thanksgiving.

October 6, I-129F accepted at VSC

If your timeline doesn't reflect information provided in a post it throws off anyone trying to help.

If you already got your NOA2 as your post implies, you shouldn't need to send ANYTHING further to USCIS.

You already got your NOA2 so the advice to prepare everything regarding packet3 forms mentioned above is a good one.

We got her interview date (yesterday) in record time but we could have done it faster if we had looked at the packet3 forms earlier.

You are confused because you didn't get confirmation it's with the consulate yet and you haven't got packet3 (I'm guessing here).

It might be better to take this question to your fellow Lib-nan filers who have been there and done that.

I'll suggest this thread be moved to the consulate forum.

Consulate advice is always country-specific.

You may want to go to the consulate's website, many have the papework listed (and linked) for interviews.

Hmmm...sounds like the consulate wants the documents prior to the interview. I agree I would check out the consulates website and find out the requirements are. I think whoever had informed you this confused embassy with USCIS.

But before anything you have to submit packet 3.

I think that nails it.

As far as I know - you prepare everything prior to interview do not submit these things to USCIS.

I have my fiance preparing all the documents and getting everything translated. So he will be ready when they call him to pick up p3.

the only thing he can't do in advance is the medical (needs the letter from the embassy in p3) to actually get the medical done.

Beirut embassy is pretty fast relatively speaking.

Most info IS consulate-specific, but in Thailand we gave the NOA2 action as sufficient proof for getting the medical.

She didn't get packet3 until 2 days after we did police & medical.

You might want to check again, but your info may be right for Lebanon.

My fiance called the doctor - and spoke with him as to getting the medical done prior to p3 - dr said must have p3 letter plus 3 additional passport photos.

But to be sure, I have also emailed the doctor from here asking for clarification and have contacted the embassy requesting info on whether I can proceed with the medical since it should be valid for 6 months.

On a plus side - it takes 2 days for the results and doctor is available 5-6 days a week.

Thank you for all the helpful information. I contacted the embassy in Lebanon. They said we need to wait to VSC to get the I-129 processed, then my fiance' in Lebanon will be called by the embassy. All the paper work is ready. Thanks again.
