After NOA 2...?

[Mailys 0]

Hi! I (the beneficiary) am trying to be organized and anticipate each step in this long process. I thought from the beginning that the American person will be the one who will have to send all the papers required for the package 3. But recently I've read that it's the beneficiary. Can someone help me please?

I'm in my home country now, I wanna know if I need to mail some papers to my fiancé or the opposite. Thanks!

Hi, I'm still waiting for NOA2 and in the meantime I  also trying to be anticipate the paperwork needed ahead...

 

What are the Packet 3 and Packet 4???

the USC will have to do affidavit of support and send to you the tax transcripts to take to interview

you are still at stage 1 / you need to wait and see what immigration  needs as they could send an RFE for missing or needed documents

when your financee gets the NOA2 all that are needed from you will be explained like the criminal report and medicial exam needed for interview

Yes, you as the beneficiary will likely need to gather all of the papers for the "package 3", which typically involves a statement to your embassy/consulate that you are ready to make an appointment, etc.. Your fiance will have to get a NEW letter of intent for you as well as tax documents or any other evidence required by the affidavit of support. All of the evidence required should be clearly marked on the Package 3 instruction sheet you receive either by email or mail.

Package 3 is typically an information guide from your embassy or consulate detailing what you will need to bring with you to the interview. I'm not sure about your specific embassy, so you will need to research this.

Same goes for Package 4, except it's usually the final information document you will need to schedule the medical. Once you have Package 4, you typically have an appointment already.

 

Again, look up your country-specific guide for what might be required unless you want to wait for the package 3 to arrive.

Hi Guys,

So on the 24th November 2017 we received our NOA2, after a very long waiting time (shy of 6 months), we are now awaiting the NVC to receive the case. The lady at the NVC stated it can take a further 6 weeks for the information to be with the NVC, then we have to wait for a case number. What with Christmas around the corner, we anticipate a further wait.

Thank you Peot, it helps me a lot! I got the translation of my police records and I was wondering if I should mail them to my boyfriend of not. Now I see.

 

KateWB, they told you 6 weeks to be with the NVC? Damn, I'm always looking at timelines and it seemed to take a little bit less... I was hopping to book my flight once I'll get the NOA2 (about 2 months after it).
