July 2018 NOA2 ----> NVC

[Akiko & Brad 46]

@Naes

I hope your wedding plans are progressing well.

Our status just went to Ready on the NVC status site so that means Tokyo has received the package.

My Fiancee has her medical appointment next Thursday, 8/16/2018.

 

I have a question about the interview date.

Did they originally include an appointment date in the package 3 or did you contact them to request an appointment? Or did you fill out an interview request form?  The interview request form seems to be found under the immigrant visa.  Is this the correct method?  I believe you said you changed the appointment twice so you probably have some insight to pass along.

 

Also, when is the visa fee paid?

 

Thanks for all your help.

K1 is not an immigrant visa. So that method is not correct.

 

Right now, you have 2 choices.

 

you can wait for embassy to send packet 3 and follow that through (which doesn't really have much in it...because they won't send you the appointment date nor you will request it. They will basically just send you the link - which is already on their website... This is an overall copy of what you get from them: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/663042-feb-2018-noa2-nvc-thread/?page=76 

however this members fiance was from another nationality so the things you need to send changes from person to person. so you can't attend the interview without these papers. However, it has nothing to do with scheduling the interview itself.

 

 

you can fill and submit DS-160 now (this can be done as it is ready already)

Then you can go to the interview appointment page for non-immigrant visas (you can find this on the embassy website too . url: https://cgifederal.secure.force.com) (this is where you pay the fee)

here you can make your account, pay the visa fee and get your appointment.you cannot schedule interview without paying. And if you schedule more than twice and end up cancelling to make another one you will have to pay again. So be careful when rescheduling.

(as you can change it anyway. I would just get it if you have all your documents ready for the interview. and don't forget to give the time for the medical results, this depends on which clinic you used -seibo gives in 4 business days-)

 

I put a detailed review of this process on the embassy reviews. read this to get an idea. you can find it on my timeline : http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=272463

 

 

Wedding plans are crazy... like crazy... 9 more days to go!

Do DS-160 expire? How long are they valid for after it’s been submitted and filled out?

It doesn't expire. Most Embassy's would like it to be no more than 6 months old but be sure to check with your Embassy's P3 letter for any additional instructions.

Once you receive your case number it's time to be in charge of what time you choose when things get down. To smooth that trail for your I have a few things that will help you process your visa there in the Philippines.

 

Start by visiting Hanks site where he has taken the time and research, and of course it helps if you spent 8 plus years helping folks in the Philippines sub-forum get their visas, where he has listed each step. With those steps he includes the what, when and why to completing the item. Many have used the website and have had little or NO problems securing a visa from USEM.

Next you'll want to connect with those who are processing through the Philippines in the VJ Philippines sub-forum that way you will be with like minded ppl who are sharing their experiences and also asking and answering questions. Since most in this thread are processing through another country they would be hard pressed to explain what is needed for the Philippines.

You'll find this on Hank's website but I will give it to you early and that is the Packet 3 Letter for USEM. It's found here:

Here is the Packet 3 letter.

There you have it. Everything you need to get your visa. Good luck and smooth sailing.

Do you have any k2 attached to your k1? do you have any children that are going to the interview with you? Mine is like that too but it is because my daughter is part of my application.

The reason why you have an 01 and an O2 is because the 01 is you which is the K1 and the O2 is the K2 which I think is your daughter. And so you will process her just like your visa when it comes time to have her come to the United States. I think I read in a previous post that you're going to delay her arrival to the us until after you get settled. You have one year to use this K2 visa to get her over to the US before it expires.

[map143 10]

Hi. Yes i have a k2 attached to my k1. I have a daughter and am planning to bring her after a year before her k2 expires..if thats her nvc number, can i process her`s within a year span?thank you so much for the answer

[Jlomartin 71]

@Greenbaum will 3 years of W2’s suffice, bank statements, and employment letter with the I-134 or is a tax transcript necessary? Some members have included theirs but I want to know if this is necessary.

[philipk1 100]

We got our interview date appointment already, sadly it is not until September 25th.

 

I am glad things happened super fast after the in transit date.

[philipk1 100]

We did not get the packet 3 yet but managed to book the interview before.
