Sending forms for K1 once NOA2 is recieved

[john&lindsey 0]

Does anyone know if we can go ahead and submit our forms for the K1 Visa to London once we recieved our NOA2 or do we have to wait for them to mail the letter with the web address to go to? We know what forms we need to fill out and send in.. we are just trying to get it completed faster and save the couple weeks for them to mail the letter to my fiance'. Anyone know??? Thanks!!!

I cannot speak to London, but I can say for Colombia we needed the Case # from the NVC before we could go online and schedule the interview. We actually got the case # before we received the packet 3 or 4 from the Embassy so we were able to schedule the interview before the embassy even got the packet.

GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS!

you cant do anything without your "LND" case number and that is issued a day or two before your case leaves NVC. you can schedule your medical once you have your "LND" case number but i wouldnt advise sending any forms back until your sure the embassy has logged your case in to the system. if you look at my timeline it was only a week from my case leaving NVC until i received packet 3

This is what the embassy website says on the matter.

Note:

Only applicants who been notified by the Immigrant Visa Unit that a petition has been received in their name should complete the visa application forms. Forms received without the applicant's case number will be discarded.

If your forms arrive before your approved petition is logged in, it could slow you down. They have a system in place that is most efficient for them. If you get the cart before the horse, they might toss you forms in the pile in the corner because they haven established a file in your name. Just a thought.

Thank you very much!! We are just wanting him to return back to the US soon and I'm trying to keep him here as long as possible before he has to go back to the UK… Thanks again
