I-129F February 2016 Filers

[Georgia16 2,858]

Good to know. I'm so anxious and hoping that all goes well. Thank you

Do you know what documents to prepare for in anticipation for NOA2? I just want to be proactive and waste no time when NOA2 comes along.

Thanks again for the helpful info. Absolutely love this forum and just how people can come together and help each other. Awesome stuff!

Thank you. I'm sure your fiancé will be getting his notice soon.

What to send to your fiance once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one). Your fiance should review this information in advance of the interview (the embassy will have copies of this as well). 2. Send copies of the documentary proof that you submitted with the I-129F for your fiance to have on hand for their interview at the embassy. Your fiance should review this information in advance of the interview (the embassy will have copies of this as well). 3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F). 4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all. 5. You will need several items (for the above form). Gather duplicate evidence of income and resources as appropriate:

(A) Statement from an officer of the bank/financial institution with your deposits, identifying the following: 1. date account opened; 2. total amount deposited for the past year; 3. present balance

(B) Statement(s) from your employer on business stationary showing: 1. Date and nature of employment; 2. salary paid; 3. whether position is temporary or permanent (also include copies of your last two pay stubs and your previous W-2 for the associated employer if available)

© If Self Employed: 1. Copy of last income tax return filed (or IRS transcripts); or 2. report of commercial rating concern

(D) List containing serial numbers and denominations of bonds and name of record owner(s).

Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. See this FAQ for more tips and useful information on the Affidavit of Support Form. 6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail. (backup information; the embassy will have copies of this as well) 7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, online chat logs (pick several over the prior few months), etc.. from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 until date-now).

Examples: Copies of land line and cell phone bills, appropriate emails and letters you have sent including the stamps on envelopes (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

You'll need your (The non usc) birth certificate and police record in english as well

I'm in exactly the same boat buddy, mine was meant to arrive on Saturday but since Sunday I've been getting a message on the USPS website saying it's been delayed but its out in transit.

'The package is delayed and will not be delivered by the expected delivery date. An updated delivery date will be provided when available. Your item departed our USPS facility in DALLAS, TX 75260 on February 7, 2016 at 5:17 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination.'

That's what I'm getting. So mine is in Dallas, it just doesn't seem to be going anywhere in Dallas.

If you call the 1800 USPS you have machine that tell you the same thing.....if you want to speak to a customer service it is not avaiable......so who can give us and update of the delay then?

[bigboss1984 8]

I've been trying to contact them via Twitter since last night, but nobody has gotten back to me. I think it may unfortunately be a case of just waiting and taking it day by day

I was able to speak with a UPSP just now and they told that the package will get delivery between today and Thursday....at least I got better update than the website

[bigboss1984 8]

Thats great! How did you speak to them?

[Lowens8 10]

My packet was supposed to be delivered last Thurseday and I was getting the same delayed message from USPS and yesterday I got an update that it was finally delivered.

[bigboss1984 8]

Yeah I'm sure mine will arrive in the coming days, it's just annoying to see it sat there stuck and not moving at all

You're welcome

[pochemuchka 2]

Thanks Georgia! Do you know how they determine what location you interview at? Just the closest one? (I thought my fiance would have to interview too, he's in Russia)

Only your fiance will have an interview, and it will be in Moscow.

Anyone's fiancé moving from Canada? What's the closest interview spot?
