Noa1 APPROVED

PLEASE IGNORE PREVIOUS POST!

YAY for you!

Now comes the hard work

After the NOA2 your paperwork will be forwarded to the NVC for additional processing before being sent to the Consulate

Below are a few things that you could work on while you are in Jamaica, the fees/expenses add up so at least if you start early you can budget/pace yourself

The police report is actually good for one year so you can go ahead and get that. Although the medical is also good for a year as well you cannot do it until you receive your interview letter which must accompany you when going for the medical

(Police Report Cost> $2000 within 2 weeks $4000 within 1 week)

Your fiance/fiancee will also need to go to the Registrar General to acquire a non-impediment certificate if they have never been married. If previously married, they will need to get a copy of the marriage certificate and divorce decree

(Cost> Non-impediment $5,000, Marriage - $650, Divorce - Unknown)

Additionally, if you have misplaced immunization records or there are any immunizations which were not done you may want to either have it replaced or acquire the required shots.

On your end you can start compiling the items you will need for the I-134 Affidavit of Support (AOS) and proof of the relationship. Items you may need for the AOS include 2 years tax returns, W-2s, employment letter, bank statements, and other proof of assets. For proof of relationship call logs/history is good from what I've read here.

If your partner has digicel as their carrier you can email digicel's customer care with your name and PUK2 to get 3 months of call history (to be picked up at the the local office within 7 days).

Ahhhh, what else...I guess the normal pictures, proof of travel, and anything else which shows that there is a actual relationship is helpful. I hope this information is helpful.

Don't get too bogged down on your trip running around and mek sure yu enjou yuselfB-)

Wish I was going home too:blush:

Definitely a great reply - The one change I would make is about the police report that I bolded - People should not get the police report too far in advance in JA - even though technically it's good for 1 year, there was a situation a few months back where the embassy required people to get police reports dated after a certain date (some of which, it was actually their interview date so they got blue slipped and had to go back.) Having NOA2 you should be fine to get it though.

Yeah, hopefully yours is close behind! Last week I had been checking the most recently sent approvals, and they were anywhere from March - May submissions. So it really could be anytime now...
