Rec'ed NOA1...what to expect now?

[Mrnugyen 1]

Hi All,

So I sent the I-129F packet and got a NOA1 03/05/2014 who is in Vietnam. The instructions on what I have to prepare from the K1 guide is very clear. I know I need another letter stating I still want to marry my fiance dated closer to the interview date and all the fiancial and work documents needed for the Aff. of Support. The instructions for that is very clear and straight forward.

My question is for my fiancee in Vietnam. I looked on the Embassy information but still am not very sure what it all means. I see something about a Packet 3 and then a Packet 4, forms and instructions that will come with it. So I'm guess that after we (cross our fingers no RFEs) get our NOA2, I will send my remaining information to my fiancee and she will have to prepare the rest herself with the instructions that come with those packets? Are those forms in English or in Vietnamese? After sending her her copy of the I-129 kit, any further supporting documents of ongoing relationship and the Aff. of Support, will I need to do anything else during this process or is the rest up to her in Vietnam?

The parts we do as the petitioner is very easy and I did it without a lawyer. But now that I look closer at the things that will be needed for my fiancee, I'm wondering if we can do it ourself? Is it very difficult? or should we invest in a Vietnamese lawyer?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Step 1: Package 3 is Instruction package that asks her to fill out DS-160 electronic and print out the confirmation page of DS-160. She needs to send the confirmation page DS-160 , 2 passport photo, and 1 copy of her passport to HCM consulate by mail.

Step 2: On the package 3 in step 2, they show you how to pay the visa fee and schedule an interview date online. I would ask her to obtain Police Record 2 right after you got NOA2 because it will take couple weeks to have it.

Step 3: Make an appointment for medical exam and have vaccination done.

Step 4: Print out your interview date and bring all documents that list in step 3 of instruction package to interview such as Fill out I-134+ employment letter+ most recent tax transcript, medical exam results, visa photo, passport, .....etc. Full list is in the step 3.
