What After NVC Receipt? (Malaysia K1)

[fei23k 1]

Hello all,

So i got this Petition approval letter from NVC on Oct 27, 2016, telling me that they received my approved I-129F.

It gives me all the Case #, USCIS #. The letter says it will contact my fiancee once the Embassy is ready.

we haven't heard anything since. Should we do all the preparation at this point??

Should she apply DS-160 & make appointment for Medical examination while we're waiting on that "Notification to her or to me" ?

On I-134, I'm confused on who should be the one that filling it out? Should that me or herself?

We already applied Police Certificate, and it's ready to go, we just need to pick it up at the capital.

Question for people who knows the Certificate of Good Conduction (CGC) process in Malaysia -

We don't have time to go to KL to pick up the CGC until December, would they hold on to it for another month?

Or is there anyway they can mail it to us? I saw something about sending them an self-address envelop when apply, but we applied online, so there wasn't an options.

Much helps, THANK YOU so MUCH!!

This Forum is Awesome by the way!!

Best Regards

King

Hi

I think everyone applies for the CGC online. I did as well. I applied in early June and picked it up in July. No problems at all. Also yes, there is an option to have them mail it to you or have someone pick it up for you. Read the instructions again. They're VERY clear.

Good luck!

But my main question was....what should I do while I'm waiting on K1, should I apply for DS-160 and such.....

Only the CGC was country Specific,,,it was just a side question tho... :

after NOA1 its the NOA2. which seemed like forever . NOA2 will inform you that they will then forward the petition to the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur. You can start the DS-160 after NOA2. it took me 1 week to complete the DS-160 (the passport photo uploading part was a bit tricky). Don't forget the visa fees!

Btw, did they emailed you or did you receive a letter? The NVC emailed my fiance (petitioner) the packet of instructions and he forwarded it to me. I started right away. I-134 is filled by the petitioner to prove that the petitioner can support the beneficiary. Team effort!

Hello =)

I got my NVC number, a little lost as to what do we do next. My fiance have not received any email/letters from NVC. Can I start the DS-160 before i receive any instructions?

If the NVC replied that they have received your application, you can start the DS 160. That's the next step and all you need is your passport and your case number and passport photo of course. When you get to the passport photo, try to do it when the CEAC is during operational hours. Lol. I could never get through when I did that in the morning especially Monday morning in Malaysia.

Thank you for replying Mslite,

I just got an email from the KL office about instruction for appointment yesterday, and we have just completed the DS -160 today.

We only missing the medfical & police cert which is in KL need to pick on the way to Interview.

On the Medical part. It says that -

"LAST STEP: Medical - only after you have obtained the above required documents, due to visa validity period. Refer to Visa Validity.

MEDICAL EXAMINATION RESULTS. You must bring a medical examination report obtained from one of our panel clinics listed in https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Medical/KLL%20-%20Kuala%20Lumpur more information regarding the medical examination. Clinic needs your appointment confirmation slip.

VISA VALIDITY: Generally, an immigrant visa is valid for six months from the date of issuance, unless its validity is limited by medical or other restrictions."

I assume we can go ahead an make appointment to the interview then schedule medical exam while waiting on the interview??

or we should do the exam first then schedule interview appointment....The sentence there is kind of contradicting

thank you so much for the help!!!

The clinic need your interview confirmation date and letter (they asked me my interview date when I called to make my appointment at the clinic). And they requested to see the Appointment confirmation letter during my registration today make sure to fill in the visa application and make the payment, we got our appointment date exactly 5 days after we paid the MRV fees. You can print your appointment confirmation letter from the website after you get the date.

In short, interview appointment date first, then you can schedule your medical exams. The medical exam validity has something to do with your visa validity period that's why its the last step in the process.

i have filled out the DS160 - i read from the US embassy website that to make an appointment at their contracted company CGI - so i went there, created the account etc. and to fix an interview i have to make payment for the visa. Is this correct?

Also a little nervous cos neither me nor my fiance has received anything from the US Embassy in Malaysia.

cgifederal website right? Or if you're worried, you can access them through their global website. They put Malaysia under the Pacific region. Just click on the world map/our and it will send you to the cgifederal website too
