Hello my naija people......please after approval what is the next step.........

If you go to the first page @ChuAni listed in detail what we should do. You have to wait for NVC to give you a case number which is usually about 2 weeks (or a little longer)

The Embassy received the case on the 18th, I emailed them the 18th asking how it would be sent. They replied on the 22nd that my fiance could come to the embassy today to pick it up.

Okay thanks.

It was thanks to @ChuAni who told me to email and be patient. @jean baptiste also did the same and it is a blessing when you not only have the support of everyone here but also someone dealing with the same embassy.

I am in the process of completing the DS 160. I saved the document and noticed a few things in my review.

 

I accessed the online document today and my city and zip code have disappeared on the Family Information: Fiance page.

Also, I am not able to add another employer in the work history section.

 

Has anyone else had similar issues?

No problem, Sis. I'm right at your service.

Anything you want.

 

Now, let's start counting days for USCIS to send your case to NVC. Give it 14 days to call NVC for the case #.

 

My case took 20 days to get to NVC. I got the case # the same day (after 3 hrs) they received it.

 

After 3 days, it left NVC and after 2 dats, it was Ready (EMBASSY received it). 

 

So, it took my case 6 days (4 Business Days) from NVC Received (At NVC) to Ready (At Embassy).

 

Now, you can do the following as you wait for NVC #;

 

1) Download and start filling Affidavit of Support Form (I-134) and try to get the Supportimg Documents for it.

https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-134.pdf?download=1

 

 

https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-134instr.pdf?download=1

 

2) You can start filling the DS-160 Online Form, save it but don't sign &  submit it yet. 

 

https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/

 

3) Start compiling Evidence of Relationship.

 

*Make Screenshots from the App (e.g., Whatsapp). Have 3-4 screenshots from each month and arrange them 6 screenshots per page of MS Word. Gather Screenshots of Chat, Call, Facetime showing your phone numbers (you and your Fiancé).

 

* Pictures, from 6-30 of you two together, including family. DON'T INCLUDE PICTURES OF TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE!!

 

*Boarding Passes (If you wish)

 

4) Your Fiancé should get ready with his Passport, Birth Certificate.

Got my NOA 2. Now lets get to work :)

Yes. I've actually had to refill it out so many times. The last time I printed each page so I have the info. I still saved it but I plan to start over with a new application when I officially submit.

Finally recived my case number! 

NOA2 May 4th 

NVC case# May 24th

 

I sent the email for packet 3. 

Congrats on your case number! You might be a little premature on asking for packet 3 though since the embassy still needs to receive your petition from the NVC. with your new case number you can go to this site and track it!
