We got NOA2, how does my fiance sends me his tax stuff now for the interview?

[Ryan and Asel 0]

Hi guys. We got NOA2, and USCIS sent it to the Consulate in Kazakhstan. I called the embassy today and they said to wait a couple weeks before US Embassy in Kazakhstan emails me. How soon is the itnerview usually after NOA2? how does my fiance sends me his tax stuff now for the interview? Do I need an original of his birth certificate for the interview? What does my fiance need to mail me for the interview. He is currently in the US and I am back home starting the preparation for interview which I have no idea when will happen.

[me & her 2]

first of all he needs to send you everything that he sent in initially to the uscis,then he needs to fill the 134 form,which is the affidarvit of support,then you the beneficiary needs to fill the ds 156,156k and 230

you will also need a police certificate,medicals,and supporting documents to show proof of ongoing relationship

This is the best thing I can find for you to look over:

Each Embassy handles things differently. Case in point the Moscow Embassy doesn't send a packet but instead sent me an email with instructions to forward to my Fiancée. When the Embassy had our petition we were able to pay the fee (we actually paid this sooner since we received the case number from the NVC before Embassy), and then we had to go to a website and fill out a long form, put in the receipt number from the payment and then we were able to schedule the interview. We did this yesterday and there were some Interview dates as early as Next week.

Hope this helps and start having him collect all his documents and get your police report and everything else together. Your petition will probably at the Embassy in the next 3 to 5 weeks.

CONGRAULATIONS, Ryan & Asel! We got our NOA2 on July 29, and I am about to send everything my fiance needs for the interview. Our 1-year anniversary is on the 26th of this month, and was even planning on going back home but probably may be better for me to save my money first...

Thank you both for your input! i appreciate it a lot!

Question for the fiance from Russia: How did you get your case number from NVC? Did they mail it to your fiance in the US? Did you call them? I've been calling NVC, they put you on hold with music, never pick up the phone. What do I need that case number for anyways? Is it going to be asked during interview?

[St&Sv 33]

The NVC is terrible, but you got music! I'm jealous I had to listen to the same recording a 100 times over. I did call them several times, but after waiting about 20 minutes they would tell me they didn't have it and we weren't in their system. So I was given the advice to call the Dept of State [1-202-663-1225] instead, but you still want to wait roughly 2 weeks after getting your NoA2 to do this. The Dept of State did give me our case number even after the NVC told me they did not have it.

Long story short I (The fiancé) did receive a letter in the mail from the NVC stating our case number and that it was being shipped to the Embassy within a week. The case number is what you will use to pay your Visa Fee and to schedule the medical. As for if they ask you for it at the interview I can let you know after she has hers on Sept 5, but It seems they still use the Receipt number that you received with your NoA2 for some things as well.

Edit:

I wanted to add the Letter from the NVC came on August 3rd (I had already had the case number a week or 2 before the letter thanks to the Dept of State), with a date of July 30th on the letter head. I then received the email from the embassy on August the 9th.

Also to try not to add to the confusion the NVC is part of the DoS (Dept of State) which is why you can call them as well.

Edit Edit:

Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions that I might be able to help with, but for now I must run off to work.
