This sounds like such a newbie thing, but I have no idea which documents to prepare first. I know there is an NVC thread but I was so lost when I went there. What should I do now? At this point, we are already approved at USCIS, just waiting on the NOA-2 in the mail (which I'm hoping comes in today).

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated (we plan on using my mom as a co-sponsor, if that helps).

There's a very detailed Visajourney wiki on the entire NVC process. http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process My husband's co-sponsor is my mother-in-law as well. Read the link and get started right away especially the ordering of tax returns from IRS for both you and your mom. Good luck! :)

I'll repost this because I don't think I received input yet :)

Maybe someone has some information?

I am not sure if my answer is still relevant but the petitioner doesn't have to be at the interview. I saw many applicants there alone. The Frankfurt Consulate is quite easy and if you have everything in order and no red flags there is nothing to worry about.

Hi nyokie!

What kind of paperwork did your lawyer file on November 21? Did you get a RFE?

You won't be getting a case number unless the USCIS sends your case to the NVC, and USCIS won't send your case to NVC unless they approve your case and issue a NOA2 for you.

This sounds like such a newbie thing, but I have no idea which documents to prepare first. I know there is an NVC thread but I was so lost when I went there. What should I do now? At this point, we are already approved at USCIS, just waiting on the NOA-2 in the mail (which I'm hoping comes in today).

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated (we plan on using my mom as a co-sponsor, if that helps).

zaiddiaz -- not a newbie thing at all!!

For you and others who may not have seen this post from me back at the end of September -- below is a link to my guide about what to prepare while waiting for your NOA2.

You can prep a lot before you get to the NVC -- this is especially important because they are quite back logged at the moment -- let me/VJ community know if you have any questions! :)

Hi nyokie!

What kind of paperwork did your lawyer file on November 21? Did you get a RFE?

You won't be getting a case number unless the USCIS sends your case to the NVC, and USCIS won't send your case to NVC unless they approve your case and issue a NOA2 for you.

No I didn't get REF. They file the I-485 and other forms, what happened was that they only filed the I-130 July. They should have file everything one time.

I-485 is Adjustment of Status. Is your spouse already in the United States?

Hello Guys, How I will know if the NVC received our case? By email or in my USCIS status?

When I will call the NVC for the case number?

Thank you all. God bless?

PhillyGirl, you would need to keep calling NVC at least once a week to find out if they have received the case.
