You write the name out just like you would on a check. Then I think it also has fields for your name/address. Make sure you read the instructions on the I-129F very carefully. I believe it says to make it out to U.S. Department of Homeland Security...don't abbreviate anything other than U.S. But double check that on the instructions just to be sure. 

 

Have you already gone through the guides on here for the K1 process? If not, you should definitely do so and it doesn't hurt to go through them again. We all don't mind answering questions on here but you need to familiarize yourself with the process as much as possible to avoid making any minor mistakes that could delay the process with a RFE. It helps to make a checklist and a cover sheet, fill out the forms then wait until the next day and review everything with a fresh mindset.

congratulationsssssssss i am so happy for you.

now wait for NVC, then once you have your case number check the case status on ceac check visa status, once say in trasit then ready is at the embassy then you can schedule your interview.

 

Thanks, the timing of receiving NOA2 was very special for us ... I received it the day before I flew to D.R. to visit my fiance, so it felt amazing to be able to celebrate that together, in person!  I'm sitting in the airport now, waiting to fly back home.  It's my understanding that I should wait about 2 weeks from NOA2 to start calling NVC to ask for case number?  Also, I can't seem to find anything specific telling me when exactly I can submit DS160 and scheduled interview.  Yesterday, we filled out the DS160 online together, but did not yet submit it (it saves online for up to 30 days), as I believe this must wait until it is processed by NVC?  Is that correct?  When is the soonest we can schedule interview?  If we can move the process forward without waiting for the embassy to mail him something ("Packet 3", I think?), I'd much prefer that!

 

Thanks in advance!  All this time waiting for NOA2 and now that we're passed that, I feel like I'm lost again, not sure exactly what to expect and when.  The various guides talk about getting NVC number, proceeding with vaccinations and medical, and then interview, but no real specific information on the timing for them.

 

Thanks!

Hello from VA!  I hope you get better rest tonight.  

 

I am very excited to see another week full of approvals for March filers!! I thought after I got my NOA2 I would go back to hating Mondays, but I feel so connected with you all that I don't think I will until you all have your NOA2 as well!! 

Hello back from heated up Bavaria!
It's so hot here - and almost as humid as in VA!

Still no NOA2 I guess, because I haven't heard from him yet. Maybe in the morning!
It's so weird... I'm not stressed out, I'm not impatient. Only freaking out more and more about the chest xray. ^^

And... I have counted for fun today:
If it WOULD work and I'd fly out around September 15th... I'd only have 12 weeks left. And only 10 of them at work.
THAT'S NOT MUCH!!!! 
It's so close but so far away.
I hope this medical will be done soon, so I can really start looking forward!  

I hope you're having a great day!

It is storming here now, so hopefully that will cool things down for a day or two maybe! 

 

That is really exciting - I am hoping my fiance is here by mid-September as well!! Can you do your medical as soon as you get your NVC number?  I know some countries can, but we have to wait for the embassy to get the case and have the interview appointment set before my fiance can go to his medical.

Congrats to you and your fiancé!

 

It's my understanding that you need your case# from NVC to be able to complete the DS-160. Once you complete and submit it, you need to print the confirmation page because you will need that to bring with you for the medical exam and I believe for the interview as well. You can schedule your interview once you submit the form and pay the visa fee. It's all done almost simultaneously.

 

Good luck!

as I believe this must wait until it is processed by NVC?  Is that correct? YES YOU NEED WAAIT UNTIL NVC PROCESSED.

 

When is the soonest we can schedule interview? ALL DEPENTS FROM THE INTERVIEW DATES THAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE EMBASSY CALENDAR AFTER YOU PAY THE FEE.

 

If we can move the process forward without waiting for the embassy to mail him something ("Packet 3", I think?), I'd much prefer that! YES YOU CAN SCHEDULE YOUR INTERVIEW WITHOUT WAIT FROM EMBASSY.

 

you do this steps aferter you get your case number and you see your status that says ready on ceac check visa status.

i HOPE THIS HELP this is the process that you need follow, this is for dominican embassy:

1. Fill out the DS-160 (Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application), electronically. Please follow this link https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/, answer all questions. If your children are applying for a visa with you, each one must completely fill out the Form DS-160, on line. You must present the print out of the confirmation page, which contains a series of bar codes, and present this confirmation sheet the day of the interview. We suggest to write down the Application ID displayed on the top right-hand corner of the page.

2. You need to create your profile/electronic account atwww.ustraveldocs.com, to schedule your appointment to visit the VAC, (prior to your appointment in the Consular Section). You also need to select the place that you would like to pick up your passport and the immigrant visa package, if issued, in any of the twelve MAILBOXES, ETC locations around the country. Mailboxes, Etc. has 12 locations in the Dominican Republic, in Santo Domingo, Santiago, San Cristobal, Las Terrenas, and La Romana.

Read some posts over the weekend about it being hot where people were. It's 115 degrees here today!! and tomorrow it's supposed to get up to 120 degrees. Is it possible to melt away?  Luckily where my fiance currently lives it is almost just as hot, but more humid...so the summer here will be manageable for him.

Oh cool! Then we might have days of joy in 2 corners of VA!!
Maybe one day we go for a coffee, since we're statemates then?  

Yeah, luckily the doc I will go to has no appointments, just walk in. So as soon as I know the case number, I will just run there the following day, just to have it done and know my lung is fine. 
Never thought I'd creep out so much!

I just moved to AZ a few weeks ago and I'm dying.  My fiance is from England so he's not used to it at all, but he was here just last week and somehow he seems to handle heat better than me even though I'm from California ?!?!  He lucked out there.  Ha!

For sure!!! 

 

Hopefully you get your NOA2 before your VJ timeline estimate (ours fell exactly in the middle), just so your can get going with everything and have the medical in your past!!

Oh you poor thing!! I have lived in Phoenix my entire life so sadly I'm way too used to the heat. Days like the ones we are having this week are impossible to ever get used to though, no matter how long you live here. My mom is from/lives in San Diego and had the nerve to complain to me about it being hot there (it was 85-ish I think)!! haha. That's surprising he can handle the heat better, but you'll see who really handles it better once he deals with it for an entire summer...that's when the patience really gets tested! Lol.

I hope it goes like for all others: a week before VJ estimate. Mine is first week of July right now. It moved so far... I'm hoping for this or next week. 
Would be sweet to have medical and interview done by my birthday, which is August 17th. Wishful thinking I guess, but IF the NOA2 would come before July starts there's a little chance  

I guess it's only storming at your place. Scott just told me it's super hot in Newport News, VA. He's on the way to work baking ^^ 
I'm "soooo much looking forward" to Virginian heat and humidity hehe
