So now that we have our NOA1 we are wanting to start getting things set for our next steps in this process. I've done lots of reading and just want to confirm the below to be correct/incorrect:

1) No new information should be required for an NOA2 unless a RFE is requested.

2) Once the NOA2 is approved and it is sent to the NVC nothing is required until it is forwarded to the Consulate.

3) Once the consulate/embassy has received the package they will send a checklist & possible forms to be filled out (or downloaded). For reference they are:

- DS-230 Part 1

- DS-156

- DS-156K

- I-134F

4) Besides those forms, the beneficiary will need to bring:

- Certified birth certificate

- Police Ceriticate

- Certified Divorce Decree

- Vaccination Records

- Photo's

- Evidence of continuing relationship

- Affidavit from petitioner advising desire to still marry

- Copy of I-129F package (with originals for proof of relationship)

5) Medical Examination will need to take place, but consulate will provide details on whom to arrange through

I've believe based on everything I have read this is correct, but with how many people have gone through this, I figured I would at least validate that I am indeed correct.
