I recently got a letter saying that the National Visa Center (NVC) received our approved fiance petition from USCIS, and that it will be forwarded to Juarez. It said to wait for my fiance to receive a notification himself and to fill out the DS-160 in the meantime. We already did, and now my question is, what can I do in the meantime?

I'm going to accompany him to Juarez and would like to have all the paperwork (as a petitioner and beneficiary) ready. We are not using lawyers or any service, just doing it by ourselves with the help of you folks and your posts. So, what do we need to take with us to Juarez?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.
