By getting your case number from NVC (you should wait 7-10 business days before calling to give USCIS enough to get the file to NVC and for them to enter it into the system thus creating the case number) you save about 4 weeks of wasted time waiting for the email or mail notification for your number. Check with your requirements at you Embassy and see if you can move things along. The main item everyone is trying to is to schedule and appointment and then complete the medical.

Here is my boilerplate answer for when you receive your NOA2.

Keep in mind that a forum like this one is for initial bonding with others who are along the same timeline as you for initial processing. The initial application is the same no matter where in the world you are. But, having said that, once you get your approval (NOA2 text message or email), you should also check in with your country's sub-forum to get a better understanding of the process for the Embassy that you will be interviewing with, and to get direct answers from those who have completed the steps you are about to at the US Embassy - Australia.

Those in this thread, are applying from various Embassies around the world and there are different processes for each. So what works in Russian, Philippines or UAE may not work for those processing through the Australia Embassy. When you are at the VJ sub forum for all things dealing with the US Embassy in Australia most there will help answer your questions for the processing of your visa using their personal experience.

Get the Australia K1 Embassy Letter (EL) at http://canberra.usembassy.gov/nonimmigrant-visas/appointment-checklist.html as this is your bible needed to complete and receive your visa. The required documents are included and use the EL as a check list. Once you have completed or gathered the required documents you'll be ready for your interview. If it is not on the Embassy letter, it probably is not needed.

Last but not least, READ the pages on the US Embassy website for you country so that you are up to speed.

One last place to check for information would be the VJ Wiki found here: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Special:AllPages

Good luck and God's speed.

what exactly are you checking for in the embassy that can move things along? Are you saying that maybe we can send the forms to NVC from Packet 3 before they send the actual package because we'll have the case number and stuff?

Answer from my post: The main item everyone is trying to [speed up] is to schedule an appointment and then complete the medical [during the time they are waiting for their file to arrive at the Embassy].

Good morning to everybody. I sent my I129F on December 7, and received next morning. I was sent CSC on December 8, and check was cashed on December 9. My receipt notice says December 10. I just got email from USCIS stating that the case was approved and hard copy is in the mail. Hope everybody gets good news soon. If somebody have information what is next, I will really appreciate the information so I can start getting necessary paperwork ready.

Well they are slowly working through the early December NOA1's.

How long should I wait between a divorce and I-129F application?

Would the short time in between the divorce decree and the application considered a "red flag"?

Thanks for your help

It shouldn't matter. If you're getting divorced because you found someone else, that shouldn't be anyone's business really.

My fiancé had been split up for four years but not officially divorced until she met me and went and got it done.

I think as long as you can prove you've had an ongoing relationship, how long it's been since the divorce should really just be a technicality.

They may look at it a bit more but maybe someone else might know more.

How do the receipt numbers and such work? Those numbers are 16901 - 83000, range, and my number is 16901 90900 area. Seems like quite a huge difference for packets that were received the same day.

The receipt numbers are not only dedicated to one kind of application.

The same number format is used for all kind of immigration application. This explains the big number received on a daily basis.

Till after you hangover subsided and you can think clearly.

All kidding aside you can file anytime after the divorce is final.

I am thinking ahead (crossing finger for approval soon to start getting things ready) but anyone can tell me if my fiance's daughter mother would have to sign any official document needed for the interview etc. she is a very difficult person to work with and I really would like to be ready to request what is needed from her to allow the kid get the visa with her dad if approved.

Yes, I read your post. But how does getting that number early speed the process of an interview?
