I-129F Petition Mailed to California Service Center

[Nishi 0]

Hi All,

I am happy to say that I have mailed my I-129F Petition for my fiancée yesterday to the California Service Center. Now the waiting starts, moreover I am reading on the next steps after NOA2 gets approved. I have the following questions, I am hoping the Visa Journey community can help me out -

After the NOA2 gets approved, the following is what needs to be done -

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• A complete copy of the I-129F packet that was sent to California Service Center be sent to my fiancée. These would consist of the original documents.

• Original letters certifying an intent to marry within the 90 day period (Date and Sign it).

• I-134 Affidavit of Support.

o 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.

• A copy of NOA2 that I received in the mail.

• Proof of on-going relationship.

However the consulate in India will send the following documents to my fiancée that she will have to fill out prior to the interview –

• Medical examination (vaccinations are optional, see below) – Can she get the vaccinations done right now, or does she need to wait till she gets the documents from the consulate. What vaccinations does she need to get, are there specific vaccinations that she should get!

• Two Nonimmigrant Visa Applications, Form DS-156 (Both filled out by my fiancée)

• One Nonimmigrant Fiancé(e) Visa Application, Form DS-156K (Filled out by my fiancée)

• Two nonimmigrant visa photos (My fiancée’s visa photos)

• Evidence of a fiancé relationship (Proof of on going relationship)

• Payment of fees (What other fees is required!)

Is there anything else that I should look into at this point.

Thank You,

Nishi Sundaram

I'm not sure which embassy you'll be working with, but here is the packet 3 information for New Delhi. It may be the same for any US embassy in India: http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/ivpacket309k1.html

it seems that India can sometimes play tough, so I would send as much extra as you can in case they throw a curve at the interview. For instance, add three years of tax transcripts (they are free to obtain) to your I-134 file. Front-load and back-pad to be safe Good luck
