I received two copies in the mail yesterday. One was dated the 17th, one was dated the 18th. Well, that's just a mistake I'm guessing. Anyways, where do I go from here? When will I get my case number from NVC? Do i have to call somewhere to get it, or will the USCIS website have an update with further instructions? What about these next packets, 3 and 4? When do i fill those out?

Your "case number" is the Receipt number. From there you have to wait to get your NOA2. Read the K1 Guide and it will tell you what will happen after your NOA2 arrives. Until then you can check your case status on the USCIS.gov website. :yes: Hope this helps!

If your NOA 1 was received, now you wait. It will take multiple months. After you get your NOA2 then you may think about NVC

Good luck

What you got is NOA 1, you have to wait patiently by checking your status until they accept your petition which is the NOA 2. then the time will come for NVC and so on. click on this link to read more about it http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide i think this will give you a better understanding of the process . i hope this will help you.

1. I received two copies in the mail yesterday. where do I go from here?

2. When will I get my case number from NVC?

3. Do i have to call somewhere to get it, or will the USCIS website have an update with further instructions?

4. What about these next packets, 3 and 4? When do i fill those out?

1. You wait. Around 5 months at the moment from reports, until you will get "petition approval" (NOA2) and then NVC will send you a letter with your case number

2. Not for around 6 months or so

3. Some people do. I just waited till my fiance (USC) got it in the mail.

4. You don't fill them out. That's the foreign beneficiaries "job". That's the visa stage and it's all about her. You will complete an I-134, and help with relationship evidence. That's it.

Ohhhh..

Okay. Changing answers :P

1. You should many copies of this NOA2. Scanned copies, photocopies etc etc. This NOA2 is VERY important come AOS time (when in the US).

2. It took maybe a month for us to get the letter (USC got it in the mail). Some people call. I didn't waste time/money.

3. Website won't update. You will get something in the mail with a barcode and the case number for the beneficiaries country on it

4. As before, foreigner does this. You should complete the I-134 (if you haven't already) and send that to her, as well as the your further letter of intent... and I think something else... You will most likely get P3 via email but this differs country to country.

I filled out a I-134 for her tourist visa that she got in June or so (and used in July for 3 weeks) I will just edit that form (PDF file on my PC) for our fiancee visa. Further letter of intent? I haven't heard about this... is it pretty much a letter explaining How we met, and what we plan to do once she gets here? Because that's included in the packet already along with evidence of our meeting within 2 years. and that one thing you didnt remember what it was.... how 'bout...now? :)

A second letter of intent with newer date is needed @ interview. Have you sent her/him a copy of the packet you sent in with your i-129f and the "originals" of documents you submitted (ex. Divorce paper)? With the i134 send pay stubs, bank records, tax transcripts, letter from employer. And phone records, emails, etc after you filed the petition showing the relationship is still continuing.
