December K-1 2009 Filers VSC

[wilfinance 0]

I've been working on a flooded basement for two days now...

Manila "sometimes" sends instructions, but it's not worth waiting for.. Call about 1-2 weeks after the NVC sends to Manila to schedule your interview. You just need your MNL# to find out more info.

Also, send your fiance(e) off to St Luke's for the medical now... Again it just requires the MNL #, and then you're in really good shape. Get St Luke's over with in case they decide that a sputum test is necessary..

Good Luck/God Bless.

I agree with you Jared, I am not waiting for the Manila embassy either. I am following your lead since your NOA 2 is a week before mine. For Cary to get to Manila she will have to fly. She will be meeting with the people we contracted with this weekend. I have already passed on her MNL number when I got it on Thursday. In their last Email there was a mention of a form that they were going to complete and Email to me for my signature and return with all the interview documentation that I have to provide. Are you doing this whole visa process by yourself or have you contracted with an agency or attorney for assistance? You, and many others, give out information which is dead on. I am amazed at how much information is generated and so accurate.

Sorry to hear about your flooding problem in Connecticut. We have only see video of Rhode Island here outside of Philly. We had the most snow ever recorded here this past winter. There is apparently much beach erosion at the Jersey shore also. I hope the weather has calmed down and you can enjoy yourself.

Is there a computer tech in the house? My old computer broke, I bought a new computer. The data from the old computer has been transferred to my new computer however it is not migrated into the files on my new computer. I despreately need to migrate my Yahoo Messenger archived messenges together so I can open them and print them. I am a computer illiterate. I did get an Email from Yahoo support they recommended uninstalling messenger and reinstalling it. I don't see how that is going to migrate my old IMs to the new IMs. I am also terrified to lose the archives, I am a dead man, it is where all my contact with Cary is stored. The old IMs have a .dat file extension. A conversion program was found that will display the IM but it has "urfriend" instead of Cary's screen name on the text. I suspect "urfriend" is just a generic screen name. Anyone experience this before or have any suggestions, all will be appreciated. Thanks.

Cary and Jim

Curiosity question, how do you get your timeline to show on your posts? I use the one provided here which doesn't give much information. I also noticed on your timeline two dates for the physical. Is one for the day of the physical and one for notification of approval or something else?

Hi,

Can DS-2100 be done by hand or does it need to be done by computer. The form in english says print or type. The same form in spanish is saying by computer only.

My fiancee did hers by hand and sent me a scan. When I saw it I thought this is not good, Her writing was terrible and was accepted the same day and we got our interview date the next day.. Hers was in spanish BTW....

Hi,

and thank you so much for responding. We are filling out the forms tonight. Have a great day!

Hi,

I have a question

My fiance signed the DS-230 and the DS-2100. Is this okay or was she not suppose to sign them.

[Ashley y Diego 3]

Anyone else STILL waiting on the NOA2? I'm really going crazy. NOA1 Dec 8 and no touches since Dec 11 2009, they told me I could call and request that the case be updated next Friday April 9 2010 and USCIS would have to update it within 45 days.. I was hoping to have the wedding in June, don't know if that's too unrealistic now or not.

Very frustrating because I know I've done absolutely everything right- we both have totally clean background checks and was very thorough and organized with the packet. I guess just really bad luck. If it's taking so long, why no RFE or touches? Grrr..

Hoping someone else in my situation will speak up so I don't feel so alone.

For now just encouraging fiance to get everything prepared.

I'm still waiting on my NOA-2 as well. I suspect we'll see action soon.

Packet 3 is sent to the beneficiary

Hay captain! I am preparing the documents i am going to be needing for the interview, although we haven't received the interview date but i think it advisable to get all the documents ready. I have checked my portal and i have filed out all the documents my embassy requested, but the thing is that it doesn't say anything about DS 180 or DS 230. Are this two forms necessary for all consulate or what? because i saw people on ths forum talking about these forms. Your reply will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

If you haven't already checked it out - http://nigeria.usembassy.gov/immigrant_visa_forms.html

There's a K-1 packet there that should contain all of the instructions.

I'm sorry I cannot help you with any more details, since I'm quite clueless when it comes to Nigeria consulate

Yes sign and date them when you confirm that the consulate has your case in their system. Then you can fax them in..

I would not date them before your case is in their system..

I'm right there with you. Our NOA1 date is later than yours (Dec. 29th) but the wait is maddening. I have stopped checking USCIS, VJ Timelines and simply wait on an email or text. It is out of our control now and all we can do is wait. I feel like we have been completely left behind.

Hi,

Thanks Panamjack. She did not put a date on the forms because we thought it would be better to wait unti the day she faxes it. We should wait until they have received the physical package to fax or is the electronically okay? I read somewhere the embassy won't take action until they recieve the physical package.

In about a week call DOS @202-663-1225 x1, x0 to talk to a live person. They can tell you when the embassy received your petition and whether they have mailed the Packet 3. Then you can fax, mail, or email the forms. If you email, then the signed and dated forms will have to be scanned into your computer and then emailed...easier to fax.

I'm in too! I hope everyone's process goes smoothly.

We are aiming for a 23 July 2010 wedding here in Atlanta. I hope that timeline is not too ambitious.

We sent our K-1 application in California and they seem pretty quick. Good luck every one:)
