Pull up a chair. The bar is open and I'm buying. Welcome and congratulations on getting this far. We are a little quite in here but we promise it will be insightful. So ask your questions, share your thoughts but on the way out be sure to tip your wait staff. :thumbs:

Lol thank you. We're all probably  just waiting for NVC to receive our cases now so hopefully there will be more chatting next week onward

Excited to join you all here! We were approved on June 5th (NOA1 date Nov 14th).

 

I've been wondering something for quite some time - after the petition is processed at the NVC and the embassy receives it and sends him the letter (packet 3, I think?), what should he be expecting to send back?

 

I know they usually want certain documents sent back right away and others need to be prepared for the interview alone - so what do they typically ask for at that point? I'm asking because I want to make sure I send him certain docs in time if he needs them. I know this is probably embassy specific, really, but I guess I'm just looking for a general answer of what to expect. Unfortunately there aren't as many people on here from Sri Lanka, so it's been a little more difficult getting up-to-date info.

 

Any advice appreciated!

One of the first things you should do when joining a new thread is to go back a few tabs and read what others are asking which will give you an idea where the thread is going and who is helping.

 

Next you'll want to go up to the blue ribbon on this page located at the top. Select "portals" and search for your country. Once there read the information and if there is any links follow them and read the information.

 

Next thing is to search for your Embassy and read what they have for requirements and lastly, find the sub-forum for your country where you will find others like yourself who have the questions "what's next". Again, use the blue ribbon, select "forums" then scroll 3/4 of the way down the page and then locate your country or region.

 

Most there are doing exactly what you are doing and some are experts who have completed the process and are there to lend a hand. This is the wrong forum to be asking what you should do after NVC as ppl here are trying to get there arms around what they need to do for their Embassy and chances are they have no idea about Turkey, Germany or the Philippines to name a few.

Regarding a renewed intend to marry letter. Is it supposed to be brand new or the same wording but different dates will do?

Use the old one, change the date and resign. Don't be surprised if they don't ask for it as most Embassy's don't require it but have it on hand if asked.

I am hoping for NVC# after 15 days, then we could finish the DS-160, pay the fee and schedule the Interview and medical! Tomorrow will be 14 days since our NOA2 on June 1st.
