What really happens after I-130 is approved?

[KoolBreez 0]

Hello All,

I have read a lot of info about what happens after I-130 is approved. Most of it inconsistent. Following is what I am unclear about:

1. I realize that the case is transferred to the NVC. Then what? Do they contact me or do I contact them? I read it both ways.

2. Will the NVC contact my spouse in India or will the NVC send the documents to the US Embassy in India and the Embassy will contact my spouse?

3. Does my spouse make an appointment with the Embassy or does the embassy make an appointment and inform the spouse?

4. Can I fill all the forms after NVC transfer on my spouse's behalf?

5. Are the NVC forms and Affidavit of support the last forms or are there more forms from the Embassy?

Thanks

1. Eventually NVC will contact you, but most people are proactive and contact NVC to request their case number and begin sending the necessary documentation, which is much faster. There are several NVC threads explaining how to do this.

2. The NVC contacts the beneficiary wherever they may be and requests the applications and information they need to complete the case, before the case even gets to the embassy. But see answer to Q1.

3. The NVC makes the appointment and informs the beneficiary.

4. You can fill out all of the forms if you want, but some require your spouse's signature. And your spouse obviously needs to know what's in them so he/she can certify they are correct, and for interview purposes.

5. There's a required medical examination. The form is filled out by a doctor selected by the embassy and either forwarded to the embassy directly or brought to the embassy by the beneficiary. Read the NVC threads and your country-specific threads to find out expectations at your embassy.

I've been following following links and VJ threads in general from day 1. They have been great help.

http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/How_Do_I_Bring_My_Spouse_%28Husband_or_Wife%29_to_Live_in_the_United_States%3F

There is also a few shortcut threads but not much different.

1) http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/James%27s_Shortcuts

2) http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/LingChe_NVC_ShortCut

They are all very similar and explain everything you need to know.

Like anyone on VJ will tell you, READ AND RESEARCH BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.

Feel free to send me any questions you have.
