Ok, so happily got noa2 granted, but now what?!

The NOA2 certificate doesn’t really have any clear steps on what happens next. From this site the and forum, I’ve figured the following:

CSC sends original packet to NVC, then NVC sends to US embassy in my home country (UK) for me to have the medical then the interview.

I need to bring to the interview:

  • A copy of the ENTIRE I-129f packet (including letters of intent, proof of relationship, his entire passport). Question – if the US Embassy already have this, why do I need to bring it? My fiancé didn’t take a full copy of this by mistake, although we have the forms saved when we filled them out electronically – we can just re-sign them, should this be a problem?
  • His I-134 form with supporting documents. QUESTION – do we need to mail this anywhere? Or just bring it to the interview?
  • Copy of the NOA2.
  • Proof of our relationship from NOA1 to now.
  • A letter of his continued support to marry me, with a more recent date.

Also, for the medical, do I just have to wait for the embassy to let me know to arrange this?

So confused! Thank you so much for all your help, the instructions on USCIS are pretty hopeless! Have I got anything wrong?

Because your instructions will come via letter from London once your case gets there

From this site the and forum, Ive figured the following:

I need to bring to the interview:

  • NO A copy of the ENTIRE I-129f packet (including letters of intent, proof of relationship, his entire passport). Question if the US Embassy already have this, why do I need to bring it? My fiancé didnt take a full copy of this by mistake, although we have the forms saved when we filled them out electronically we can just re-sign them, should this be a problem?
  • YES His I-134 form with supporting documents. QUESTION do we need to mail this anywhere? NO Or just bring it to the interview? YES
  • NO Copy of the NOA2.
  • NOProof of our relationship from NOA1 to now.
  • A letter of his continued support to marry me, with a more recent date. Only if your approved petition expires before interview. You have 4 months.

Also, for the medical, do I just have to wait for the embassy to let me know to arrange this?[/font][/size]

You aren't getting a visa from USCIS. Your case will go to the Dept of State and London will give you instructions.Your full instructions are provided by London, not USCIS. http://london.usembassy.gov/iv/fiance_instructions.html
