NOA 2 Approved. Next Steps

[kinu554 0]

Hello All VJ Members,

I just got approved NOA 2 in the mail and three days later i get an email that my approved case was shipped to the Department of State for visa processing.

Now that my case seems to get getting some traction, I have a few questions in order to better prepare myself for the next steps.

1. Case shipped to Department of State: What does this mean? Is the case at NVC or with the consulate office for visa processing in India.

2. What documents do I need next? I keep hearing about a packet 3 but don’t know what goes in it.

3. I read that I need to provide my fiancé an Affidavit of Support and Employment Letter. Will I need to mail her the hard copy of this or can I just email her this. I suppose that email should work, but just wanted to ask the fellow members.

Please let me know if I am missing something here. I hope that the process from here on out is smoother that what it was so far.

Viewing the visa guide will help you prepare. As well as the India portal will contain some valuable embassy specific information for you.

1. NVC is the Department of State, once it goes to NVC USCIS stops tracking it. You'll need to get your case number from NVC (start calling) which you can then track online via the NVC website (I'm not sure how yet but I believe it's by logging into the Invoice Payment Center).

2. You can view the necessary documents at India's US Embassy website.

3. If I recall correctly, you'll need to mail him/her the hard copy. You'll need the hard copy of any certificates (birth/death/divorce) of the USC, as well as affidavit of support with your real signature (sign on a magazine so the imprint shows in blue ink!), and a copy of your I-129F so he/she can sign the papers on his/her end to bring to the interview. However each consulate/embassy is different so you really need to look at your embassy/consulate portal and read the reviews as well as the information that's already gathered there. That will help you the most.

Thank you for providing me with this.

I just got a case number from NVC and they said that the file was prepared and will be shipped to consultate soon.

I tried to sign on to the Invoice Paymet Center and its asking for the NVC case Number and an Invoice Identificaiton Number.

Will my NWDXXXXXXXXX be the NVC case number and if yes, then what is the Invoice Identificaiton Number?

Congrats!

No idea! Call and ask? I could be mistaken on how to track that, I haven't even gotten my NVC case number yet!
