Congrats! You're almost 1/2 done. Not so quick. First, you need the letter for permission to schedule the interview. An NBI clearance is good ofr six months. Read on VJ the next steps: medical exam, interview, papers etc. Take more photos together while you're there and receipts supporting the relationship.

Good luck!

[Scott and Mhay 57]

Congrats!! I hope to be at this stage in a couple weeks.

Congrats! We just finished in July 09 and here is what I received and did.

- soon you will receive a NVC letter telling you of the approval. This letter will have a case number assigned (MNLxxxxxxxxxxx). Wait a few days for the package to be sent to manila. You can then call the embassy at 1-888-877-9888 to schedule the interview. There is a 18 USD to call but worth it. Once you settle on a date the operator will send you a Email with all the details. FORWARD this email to your fiancee, she will need it for her medical exam and entrance to the embassy on interview day. She can go anytime to St Lukes and get her exams done, mid-week time are best. She will need ID and the email your forwarded to get inside.

-medicals are good for 6 months if my failing memory serves. She will need the medical 7-8 days minimum to the interview date to allow the results to be read and forwarded to the embassy.

- You need to send or take with you the completed I-134 package (see the guides). Also the 156, 156K and 157 forms. She will need all that for the interview. Also take the original receipts from your 129F in case the embassy wants to see.

There is no more package from the embassy. All the forms and info is online now.

Hope this helps and I hope my memory is correct!

congrats again

There's a section in the guides here for your next steps for NOA2

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k1guide

Please review all the guides. There's probably more info in there. Here's what I saw in the above page for K1 when you get NOA2

**********************

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).

2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.

3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).

4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.

5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.

6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail.

7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now).

Examples: Copies of phone bills, cell phone bills, emails (you can edit personal info with a marker), letters (edit personal info also), stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)
