for some reason everytime I called this number today, It would say it's not a working number, but my fiance was able to call them from haiti. Our case left NVC since last friday, still has not reach Haiti yet.

Yes, they should receive it by tomorrow or Monday Happy you're in this step!

Our case also went to Haiti last Friday. How long should I wait until I contact the embassy? How long will it take for them to contact my fiance? Do they call him or just mail him the package?

He lives in PAP- so I'm hoping he'll receive it quickly. I'm just not sure what is a realistic timeframe from here on out.

mtcmk1- since you've already received approval etc....- do you have any advice?

Thanks!

You can contact the Embassy now as long as you have the case number... I would suggest by email because they will reply as soon as they receive your case. You can request Packet 3 by email because they will not contact you. My fiance never received the packet they mailed him (He lives in Port-au-Prince too), so I'm glad we requested it by email... Below see a form email I created to contact the Embassy about your case and about sending packet 3 by email

Embassy Email Address: papcons@state.gov

You can start filling out these forms even before you receive Packet 3.

DS156K, DS157, DS230, I-134

Find all the forms here. And find the DS-156 online form here.

PS-For DS230, you only need to fill out part I.

A couple other questions, if you don't mind:

1. Was I suppossed to pay a visa fee while our case was at NVC? I was not asked to. (We are doing a K-1 Alien Fiance visa)

I thought I was going to have to pay something online? Do they collect this fee at the embassy or would I have paid it when I initially filed? (our lawyer took care of our filing/fees...)

2. So I could fill out these forms and mail them down to my fiance in Haiti?

3. For DS230, why is just Part 1 completed?

4. I know our lawywer prepared the Affidavit of support when we initially filed in July, 2012. Do I submite an updated copy or is that one sufficient?

5. For our interview, I will bring copies of everything I already submitted as well as more evidence. Is there anything that you would highly recommend we include? Can I assume that all the paperwork I have submitted so far will be there already- or should I have copies just in case?

Thanks for your advice!

You have to pay a Visa Fee at any Sogébank. Wait until you receive the Packet 3 from the Embassy to do that. You will need your passport and case number.

2. So I could fill out these forms and mail them down to my fiance in Haiti?

Even better, since you don't have to sign anything except the new Letter of Intent and I-134 with supporting documents, you could fill them out and email them to him. But since you'll have to mail Your tax information anyway along with the LOI, then you could just print and mail. Print 3 copies of each as some the Embassy requests them in duplicate.

3. For DS230, why is just Part 1 completed?

Because that's the only part the Embassy needs. The other part as you can see is for traveling into the US--It is a sworn statement. You can fill it out if you want (I did), but it will be returned to you. Once you receive packet 3 via email, you will see the instructions only request for Part I.

4. I know our lawywer prepared the Affidavit of support when we initially filed in July, 2012. Do I submite an updated copy or is that one sufficient?

You will need to submit an updated copy. As things may have changed while you were waiting for the processing. Please do that when you submit Packet 3 because that may delay your case if you don't...

5. For our interview, I will bring copies of everything I already submitted as well as more evidence. Is there anything that you would highly recommend we include? Can I assume that all the paperwork I have submitted so far will be there already- or should I have copies just in case?

Bring copies just in case (I did and it was a great help) and also bring new evidences! See here for my cover letter of what I included with Packet 3... Please download it and use it as a guide

Good luck!

Thanks for your advice!

You're welcome!
