DECEMBER 2018 K-1 NOA2 ----> NVC

[Alex&Vivi 80]

Hello friends! We received our physical NOA2 on Saturday. Although the approval update arrived on Nov. 26. Our case was approved on Nov. 23. Since when do I count the days to arrive at the NVC? Thanks and good luck to all!

Is anyone in a similar bind? The P3 for the embassy I'll interview at is not very clear(I'm looking at a 2014 version for Guangzhou from the subforum, attached below). If I am a beneficiary of K1, a foreign national residing in China, and I did NOT live in Taiwan, where I was born, from age 16 onward, do I still need a police certificate from age 0-9 from Taiwan? Accd to the paragraph below, what do you all think?

 

Btw, I couldn't find answers on both the China and the Taiwan subforums. Calling the Guangzhou embassy got me nowhere, as I kept being redirected to the machine. I am a bit frustrated because I don't know where to find the answers I need.

 

Thank you for your help in advance!

It can take 2-4 weeks. Lately it's been closer to 4+ weeks but things seem to be moving faster at the moment with the upcoming holidays.

ONLY from the age of 16 so none needed from Taiwan.

 

I think you will find the documents a little more current.

 

This is a website that is dedicated to those who are processing a visa from the US Embassy in China. I personally don't have a lot of knowledge so "buyer be where".

 

http://candleforlove.com/

 

From another VJ member who had firsthand knowledge provided this information.

 

GUZ takes on average 30 days to deliver P3, it is not electronic.

I can tell you that P3 for GUZ is only 4 line items

1. DS-160 Confirmation Page

2. Copy of Passport Personal Page

3. 2 Passport style photos White Background, Well Lit, 50mm x 50mm

4. Return the P3 instructions page

 

#4 is what prevents people in China from getting a head start, they want the instructions page mailed back with the requested documents.

 

http://www.ustraveldocs.com/cn/cn-iv-visaapplyinfo.asp#KVisaPetitions

 

P3 Letter for China:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gcrLW0OCkGfdz43tehWNmgDayJUrRTdj/view?usp=sharing

 

U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou when it is time to schedule an interview. K visa applicants will be notified by the U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou when it is time to schedule an interview.

 

An individual with an approved petition and a priority date that is current for processing (when applicable) is eligible to apply for an immigrant visa or K nonimmigrant visa. Immigrant visa applicants will be notified by either the National Visa Center (NVC)

 

And don't forget the help from other members here:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/94-china/

 

And the Portal here on VJ for processing in China and what to expect

http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=China&cty=Guangzhou

 

 or the http://www.ustraveldocs.com/cn/cn-iv-visaapplyinfo.asp

 

Don't waste time while you're waiting for P3, complete DS-160 and print confirmation page. Since you are from China(I provided your website for you below), go to the 2nd link below and click immigrant to register under K1 visa. After you register and enter info it should be clear on how to pay fee, make sure you print Bank deposit slip. just follow directions under Nonimmigrant Visa, but make sure when you register K1 is under Immigrant Visa.

 

Directions go to http://www.ustraveldocs.com/cn/cn-niv-visaapply.asp

 

Register(Create Account) https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?language=English&country=China After you register make sure to choose K1 visa under Immigrant, it wasn't an option for me under non-immigrant.

Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline or your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine your Embassy. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Thanks

We just got our NOA2 on 11-21-18 so it looks like this is our forum. 😀

 

I’m leaving for the Netherlands on the 20th to spend Christmas with my fiancé and his family (he’s Dutch but lives in Austria). I’m hoping to maybe have a case number by then.

 

I know Austria isn’t as common as the other countries but if anyone has info on what to expect there with the remaining process I’d be very grateful.

Select your flag in your profile in the left hand column and another page will populate with additional information specific to Austria. There is a lot of informaiton there.

 

I usually have a P3 letter but like you said Austria hasn't been that common "around these parts" (sorry southern US slang). If and when you receive one from your embassy can  you share a copy with me so I can share with others who will come behind you? Thanks. Just PM me here on VJ when you have it.

Thank you! I will definitely share once received.

Thanks for the update to your profile. It's taken longer now because there's so many people that are applying. Just have to have some more patience.

That's great news. give it a few days before you call. I'd recommend calling on Friday.
