Do K-1 filers need to submit anything to NVC?

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to let you know I followed your advice and called the State Dept every few days until they gave me our interview date. It is 3/3/11!!!! I was a bit nervous to buy the plane ticket to be there without seeing confirmation in writing, but since that won't happen soon, I went with it. Thank you SO SO much for the advice Mr.Tee!

As for my fiance putting an address where he can receive mail, he lives in the campo, there is nowhere reliable. Even people he knows who live in the nearby city don't have reliable addresses. He has been going to the small post office in the city and trying to give them a heads up, but I'm not too confident. My plan is just to start calling the Embassy 3 weeks before and begging for a new packet to be left for him at the Embassy to pick up.

Also, I've heard a rumor that you can ask to return and pick up your visa instead of having it mailed to you after the interview. Any of you heard that?

Thanks,

Mari

Hi Mari!

Congratulations on your interview date! I think that you were lucky to be scheduled somewhat fast after NOA 2. Has your fiance received the packet yet? You know, I have also read that if the visa is approved you can choose to pick up the visa at the mail service office. This is definitely something that I will have my fiance do because I have read it can take a while for them to deliver (certainly it would be best for your fiance to pick up his visa too, since he lives in the campo). Best wishes and make sure to keep us informed!

I received an NOA2 on 2/11 but neither of us have seen anything in the way of packet 3. Its almost a month, should we be worried?

I know everyone here seems to say its usually a week or two.

Thanks.
