Hello All,

What about the expiration Date on the NOA2 hard copy? whats going on if it expire?

First, they prefer that your case is interviewed within that four-month "window" indicated on the NOA2. If it is required, the NOA2 can be extended up to a year by your Embassy but with good reason and the Embassy doesn't need to extend the NOA2 for the "one" year from expiration. The new extension, if approved, will be for an additional 4 months. Extensions are in the form of 4-month extension with each approval till you reach one year. If you need to go beyond a year, then you must go to the end of the line and begin the process from I-129f over again and pay the fees. You must provide a reason for the NOA2 extension when requesting the extension from your Embassy.

I got the email from NVC that was case was being sent to the Embassy on Oct 3rd but it said "in transit" the day prior. I'm hoping it will reach the embassy soon, I don't know if we should get the DS160 going and schedule the medical exam or wait for it to arrive to the embassy first.

I’m sorry if this a stupid question. I know We can’t leave USA after POE until we either have AP or green card.. does that mean we are fine to take internal flights though? Without restrictions?

Yes, you can travel all 50 states (include Alaska and Hawaii). Carry your passport and your marriage certificate. Passport is needed to board an airline flight since you do not have a shiny new "Real ID". https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification

Well, the first thing is you need to have a copy of the P3 to ascertain whether your Embassy will allow you to take those steps you are inquiring about. And since most here are trying to get their arms around their requirements, I highly doubt they will be able to answer your question. Not all Embassies operate the same. So, I recommend that you begin using the sub-forum for your country/region and ask questions their where there are others who are familiar with SK.

Mine was at NVC for about 2/3 weeks, then got an email when it was sent to the embassy. from what I believe it should be sent around mid month.

 Ours was only at the NVC for 1 business day! I assume because it's done electronically to Turkey  😱

I am surprised it allow you to do normally case # is country specific for eg my embassy located in Kingston Jamaica my number start with kng then the year which is 2018 then some other numbers... But don't worry one little mistake won't do much too harm since you already submit it I don't think it can be corrected

Doesn't it say USCIS number? I went back in to the application form and this is what the tooptip says:

Application Receipt/Petition Number

Your application receipt/petition number was given to you by the Department of Homeland Security’s United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) after you filed your petition application at a USCIS Service Center. The application receipt/petition number is 13 characters long and the first three characters are letters.

That's what I was going to post. 

If you have processed any other applications through USCIS online to include a work visa or a CR-1 etc then you would put your account number there. Most processing their first petition would not have a USCIS online account number.

 

Part 1 Question 10 is not your WAC# or your NVC case #. You as a K-1 would leave it blank.

I am talking about the fourth question under travel information base on my guide that's where the nvc # should go I could be wrong but know for a fact it won't allow you to leave it blank

Hello everyone,

 

a question about the i-134: 

- part 1, question 12: if someone was born in the US does it leave it blank?

 

Thank you so much.

They use so many interchangeable names for numbers required that it can be confusing. Try the case number because it is asking for the NVC #. WAC# could be the other possibility. 

 

Here is a good primer for completing the DS-160. http://www.visajourney.com/content/ds-160-help-and-frequently-asked-questions-faqs Also, I have these two from two Embassies. The DS-160 is the same for most Embassy's. When you are filling it out for your country only country-specific questions may appear. So if the example doesn't show it, that goes for all links I share here with you, then don't panic as it isn't a requirement for your country.
