So excited to see so many people getting visas in their hands!  My heart goes out to everyone still waiting for their NOA2.

 

My fiance is on his way to his medical exam now! He is freaking out because he found out he'll need to strip down to his birthday suit lol

 

Right now, our plan is that he'll give his work notice as soon as he has a successful interview (which is scheduled for September 8th). He has to give a month's notice at work and we don't want to wait around any longer than we have to. Hopefully we can still have our wedding on October 28th!

[Ms.B 30]

 All the information that everyone are waiting for, to come through the mail., is coming through email ,my fiancé had  his medical interview August 8 2017 and will have his interview on September 19  2017 we had to push the interview back to make sure his medical report was back 2 weeks before the interview our  original interview date was  scheduled for August 21 it is hard to plan a wedding if you don't know when all the Documents you need like your medical will be ready  until after you receive them 'and after your interview. I'm sorry I have not been reporting because this has been very stressful, but it's all coming together and getting close for us to be reunited again Ms.B and  my determined better half we are a team best advise is to be  patient and be strong

So quick question about packet 3.....

I've heard it's sent via email....how do they get the email address to send it to? (It's sent to the beneficiary....right? Or is it sent to me?)

[Bannonmh194 53]

After receiving NOA2 do I just wait for a letter from NVC? 

[Ms.B 30]

My fiancé never received anything it came to me the petitioner I called NVC they told me they forward my case to the Embassy both information came through email I got a email from NVC after that with all our information and case number on it was received through my emailed I forward  everything to him so soon as it says ready then you file your ds160 paperwork pay your fee make sure you print out your receipt to bring to the medical appointment and make your medical and interview appointments were he is from he went to his medical as a walk in he is from Nigeria thank you hope this is helpful

[Ms.B 30]

And to answer your questions no don't wait your email should have been on your paperwork call NVC to add your email

No....

Start calling the NVC....I called the 603-334-0700 number  They will give you a case number.....then you go to the website and watch the status of your case (the ceac "check my status" website).

In Tunisia there is no packet 3. As soon as the status said ready and filling out the ds160 I started emailing the embassy together with my fiancé asking about an interview date. I got packet 4 which is the interview letter and the doctors list. If they don't send you the doctors list with packet 4 email them back and ask for it. This is what I did. I think it is the same thing for Algeria. If not the embassy will know your Algerian fiancé email because he will be asked to provide it while filling out his ds160.

NVC sends your case to embassy, when embassy recieves you have to get the e-mail or any sort of notification..i think in different embassies it can be different. but usually you will get the e-mail from embassy when they recieve your case. The petitioner will get e-mail/ We had like this - attachment: Letter to K-1 applicant (Rus and Eng) and this is just just e-mail explaining what we have to do. (

We are pleased to inform you that the Immigrant Visa Unit of U.S. Embassy Moscow has received your approved visa petition and that your case is ready for processing.

 

You should now visit http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ru to complete the following steps: 1) arrange payment of the $265 visa fee (for each applicant); 2) enter an address to which the visa will be delivered; and 3) schedule your interview appointment. Once you pay the fee and specify the delivery address, you may schedule your interview for any available appointment slot. Please ensure that the date you select falls within four months of the date on which the visa petition was approved. Failure to do so may impact the validity of your visa petition.)

Petitioner will get this e-mail and has to resent it to the beneficiary. E-mail in 2 languages- english and language of country of beneficiary. Good luck!

I've seen different kind of scenarios lately around here, as it seems to be country specific.

It's common that the petitioner gets an email from the Embassy so they have to forward it to the beneficiary. Some other times, Embassy calls the beneficiary asking for their email, since they do have beneficiary's phone number as it was stated in the petition. Other times it comes by snail mail, and they do have the address in the petition too.

 

What I plan on doing, if they don't contact me in a couple of days after I see the case is ready on the ceac website, is emailing them myself with my complete contact information, letting them know I'm ready myself. 

 

Good luck! You are so much closer now

Well...

I'm a little impatient so I started calling every day a week after the NOA2 date....I received my case number exactly 2 and a half weeks after the NOA2 date  (I think everyone here on VJ recommend to start calling after two weeks )

You're welcome and here is a simple or the email that you and your fiancé should send the embassy. As soon as it says ready, tell you fiancé to fill out the ds 160 and submit it and then keep emailing the embassy (both of you) with a some kind of this email until they schedule your interview. This is what me and my fiancé did. And at the end it was my fiancé who reveived the email with the scheduled interview date. In Tunisia, we pay the visa fees at the embassy. I don't know whether it is the same case in Algeria or not. I think it is better to pay cash at the embassy. It is safer and less complicated.
