So I'm retrieving all of my information for the I-134 with my bank and work, I am traveling to be with my Fiancee in a few weeks, so I am just bringing the 1-129F packet with me and the I-134. I don't have to mail the I-134 form to anywhere do I? I'm looking over and over the information and be quite intimidating just because I want everything to be right. When does my Fiancee start setting up for medical and interview and all of that. In like a week or so I know I have to call the NVC, What happens after I talk to them? Do they send me something a packet or anything? I know people will say look at the guide and info, but sometimes it's better to have extra help and info. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank You! When does my Fiancee set up for MBI Clearance and is that all she needs? Thanks!

http://www.visajourney.com/content/guides seems like you need to reread the K1 guides and flowchart. Try and keep the parts separated in folders and your head. See the flow chart, http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1flow Also both read the stuff directly from USCIS. Both of you should be up to speed on the process and have duplicate copies. Basically you file, get approval, it goes to the embassy, she gets notified and files paperwork etc and medical, interview and finally the visa (cliff notes version).

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

If you received your NOA2 you can call the NVC and get the MNL number. Once you have it, have your fiancee pay for the VISA fee and you can go online and set up the interview appointment. The link for the K1 Interview Preparation Packet is below. Make sure your fiancee has all of the information listed in the packet. If she went by more than one name and it is annotated in any of your proof of realtionship paperwork, make sure she get her NBI with and A.K.A. Also have a Cenomar ran with her birthname and A.K.A. also. They may tell her she doesn't need it, but she needs to be firm with them and tell them that the US Embassy requires it. If she doesn't have them if needed, the Consular Officer can terminate the interview until she has the missing documentation. Once the interview is scheduled she will need to take her St. Luke's Medical Exam at least a week prior to her interview. It is a 2 day exam normally. Hope that she doesn't have a period right before she goes for her exam or it will cause you problems with a delay. They will not do the physical exam of her if she is o her period. Just make sure all paperwork is completed and accurate listed in the packet, the correct number of copies, etc.... As for your I-134, you don't need to send it anywhere if you will be bringing it to her. It requires your origianl signature. What I gave as supporting documents for it was my last 3 years of IRS tax transcripts, W-2's, 6 months of the most recent pay stubs, Letter of Employement from Job stating my position, hire date, standing with the comapny and salary. I also got a letter from my bank. Some of this may be overkill, but better to have more than not enough. Now that you have everything organized and in accordance witht he preparation packet, have her go to the interview and dress presentable, be friendly and smile. She should be able to answer any questions without a delay and if she doesn't understand the question or did not hear it clearly, she should politely ask the Consular Officer to repeat it. I sat in on my first ex K1 and it was stamped approved at the prescreeners window. When I sat down with her during the Consular Officer interview, I was asked a couple of questions, but most were directed to her and he even gave her the option to be asked them in Tagalog. The officer was very nice, courteous and professional. Good luck. Don't hesitate to ask me anymore questions should you need further clarificaction. I will also provide a link to the Embassy reviews so you can see thw questions and experiences of others who went there for thier interview and for Saint Lukes. When you have successfully passed the interview, they will mail the sealed packet via courier and her passport with K1 Visa in it will be outside of the sealed packet. Do NOT open that packet. It is to be given to USCIS at the first entry point into the U.S. for her processing. Good luck. Let me know how it goes. Take care.

Before or after the interview at USEM, your fiancee needs to must CFO counseling, after which a sticker will be placed in her passport. Your fiancee must attend that counseling and get that sticker before she can exit the country. Here the link to the CFO website.

"The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!" - Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the United States, 1945.

"Retreat hell! We just got here!"
