The alien reg is on the noa2 because I saw mine too. It begins with letter Axxxxxxx. This number will be your finches permanent number. This is the number uscis will use to identify her. Her alien number. This number is also needed when you adjust status (AOS). To permanent resident.

[Nurseling 34]

The NUmber NVC will give you when you call them is the number you will use to schedule your medical. It is also the same number your consulate will be using to correspond to you when you get packet 3.

So is the # that they will going to be the NVC # or the MLA Case #? I need to know the difference between the 2 please. Also, what is the purpose of the Alien #? I see this # next to her name/beneficiary, starts with A205 xxx xxx.

Wait, so we are required to mail out form DS-230 and the checklist along with a cover letter first?? Does anyone know if USEM requires this as well?

Regarding DS-230 pls don't mail anything till your fiancés consulate contacts her in the Philippines. They will give her instructions on what she needs to do.

Okay, but normally does anyone mail things out to the consulate instead of giving it to them in person at the interview? You said we had to mail coverletter, that DS-230, and a checklist I believe so that confused me.

It probably is best to see what instructions they give you once you hear from them. There things you need to mail to them and things you need to bring to the interview e.g i-134 and financial documents. Birth cents passports passport pictures. They will instruct you.

YEAH, i should prolly just check with the Philippines forum.

I think that would be a good idea.

Hey guys for all those who have been approved. Once you start filling out your DS-forms you might find it useful to go to the example forms link right on top on the VJ website. It i under the heading example forms. There you will find a very good example of all the forms example pre filled out to help anyone who is unsure.

Can you think what you may have left out. Did you provide enough evidence? Or maybe letter of intent. That seems to be the more popular rfe I have noticed people get.

Yes seems both are moving along now.

In the initial phase, are they doing the background check on the petitioner and the beneficiary or just the petitioner due to the beneficiary needed police certificates from their country?

The reason I ask is because I called USCIS to get an idea of how they review the petitions and to see why they are skipping around on the dates and was told that they are not processed on a 1st come basis but more on a who's background cleared 1st and the case's that are the least likely to be fraud.

I guess I need to start researching the normal wait time for Jamaican K-1 petitions to get a rough estimate on my wait. This waiting is driving me nuts!!!

Hi Blakcajun

From my understanding the checks are on the petitioner. I thought the reason the beneficiary is asked to do a police certificate from their country they reside is to cover that side of things for them. So I would guess the info they gave you is about right. It is approved on a first cleared background check. Sometimes where there is a query it takes longer or if someone is ran through system that needs further checks it may take longer to be cleared for approvals.

I did noticed on the numbers I was watching around my number that 3 more people have been approved. The last approval was yesterday. There is only two people pending approval and two with rfe. Things are moving along. You will see your approval soon.

To be honest the real wait seems to be the time it takes for uscis to forward the files to NVC for a case number to be assigned. Seems that's yet another hurdle to cross.

I suppose there would be some country's that they may take longer to look at due to high fraud incidents but as long as everything checks out and the papers are all in the application it should be ok.

Have you read post from the Jamaican forum? There would be lots of useful info their for you. Although I have lived in London since age 8 I still read from the Nigerian site since that's where I was born. Oh and Nigeria maybe classified as one of the countries they keep a eye on for fraud. But we still got approved and so has many people who are in Nigeria. As long as its bonafide relationship its gets approved.
