Was this NOA2? Not sure? :S

[Master Semaj 2]

So I checked my case number on USCIS and apparently:

On July 24, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

We haven't received any emails or any letters regarding this yet. Is this either NOA2 or has an RFE been requested?

Also, this is the last of the "updates section" on the website, are we able to track our case progress somewhere else or is that it?

Hopefully you can help, it's just confusing since we haven't received any email or letter about whats going on as of yet. Our last email and official paper notification was from NOA1...

This is you noa2!! Congrats

This is you noa2!! Congrats

Sweet-as! Our estimate was for the end of August according to my timeline so this is a nice surprise.

But this lack of communication from them still leaves me bewildered. Now that the case has been sent to NVC, is this now where we wait for NVC to send us the letter requesting the Affidavit of Support package? Do they not send us email updates either? Was the e-notification form just for USCIS?

You'll probably get the letter in the mail very shortly. The email and text notifications don't always work. No need to be worried, it happens. I keep checking the website, too, for that reason... just in case.

You can contact NVC in a week or two and ask them for your case number. That way, you'll know that it's being processed like normal and you have the number to refer to if you have any questions in the future. I've been reading that they're a bit slow right now (Vermont seems to have kicked off recently so maybe that's why) so don't be too concerned if that week or two passes and they still don't have anything for you.

Thanks for that. So from this point on, we should:

• wait and see if we get a notification NOA2 letter from USCIS.
• wait about a couple of weeks to get a letter from NVC regarding the next step, and give them a call to get our case number and any other info.
• we should now put together our support package, fill the forms and get the transcripts and other paperwork.

Is that pretty much right?

I got the same email the same day... it's already out of NVC now going to the embassy in your country... We were approved July 3, then got the hard copy in the mail saying it's at the NVC and then July 24 got this exact same notice... This means it left the NVC...

I put this together when I was trying to wrap my brain around the process.

This is my understanding of the procedure from NOA2 to POE but I would welcome anybody who might want to correct or clarify as necessary.

Cool, I had some of this info collected in my research but the additional stuff helps out too.

In regards to the immunization stuff, did you just book an appointment with a doctor and ask for them? Or is there more to it?

I'm the petitioner, not the beneficiary... just one of those people who feels much better by having a good grasp of stuff even when it's not my part to play (in other words, I want to be able to keep my fiance on track)

Unfortunately we haven't gotten so far as the immunizations yet. It's my understanding that you are not actually required to have the immunizations to get your K-1; it's at Adjustment of Status that this becomes necessary. It's just that most people take care of them while still in the UK because, well, it's d*mn*d expensive here.

Looking at various forums it doesn't seem that you need to have a special "approved" doctor administer them or anything. "Travel nurse" is being bandied about quite a bit. So you're probably good just going to your normal GP or whoever. That's what we're planning to do.

Just to make sure you don't make a mistake, the Affidavit of Support documents along with all the other documents required (such as beneficiary birth certificate, police certificate, etc) don't get mailed to the NVC. The NVC is just a few days stop over for a K1 where they are assigned a case number and then forwarded to the embassy. Affidavit of Support is taken to the interview in London.

Haha that's fair enough. Yeah I want to save as much money as possible, since I have to wait a while for my authorization and forms before getting any work in the US and my fiancee is fresh out of uni and breaking out on her own lol So the more I can save up in this process, the more I will have to get myself stable there and pool together with her savings.

Yep, no worries there, I knew all that.

Time to get our batch of paperwork together now then haha.
