Congratulations!! So jealous I couldn't get approved in 5 months but also so happy that you didn't have to keep waiting!! 😊

 

I would say make some sort of list for yourself of documents you need and get them as soon as possible so you don't have to delay any more after you're given a case number. I've got a folder at home and have put sticky tabs on every document depending on what stage(s) I will need it for (pink for NVC, purple for Interview, blue for Medical). Keep all original documents where possible and a physical and electronic copies of everything you fill out/ sign during the entire process. Keep all evidence too. It's not common but some people have had their files get delayed or go missing so it's good to have copies of everything to bring to your interview.

 

Use this time to gather all your evidence that you need for the different stages. Read up on things like the I-864 very carefully as there's more than one type. For example, my husband & I will be doing the I-864EZ as he will be my sole sponsor when I move. Also check the poverty guidelines for the US state you'll be living in as these will tell you how much the sponsor or joint sponsors need to be making in order for NVC to be happy that the beneficiary won't become a financial burden on the country (they say you have to make at least 125% of the poverty guidelines). The two tables that open at the bottom of this link are very helpful, they tell you what I-864 you should fill out and what evidence you'll need to submit with it: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/collect-and-submit-forms-and-documents-to-the-nvc/step-4-collect-financial-documents.html (The link also has different tabs at the top which go through all the NVC steps and what you'll need for them.)

 

There's also a monthly NVC Filers forum on here where everyone who's currently at NVC can ask questions and get advice from people at the same stage or passed them. That's super helpful, and you can keep an eye on how long people are waiting for documents to be accepted/ what people got RFEs for and why. I'd recommend reading through and following those because a lot of questions in there are very common things we're all wondering, and someone who has done it will have the answer most of the time

 

Good luck and I hope NVC goes a lot smoother for us both. I think we have learnt our lessons and will be extra cautious from now 😊

Lool , yesss thanks god I didn’t have to wait so long , and I really really love your idea ,I will start doing that now , we can share each other List if you like and before we submit on what we learn from our research.

 

i really learn the hard way , 

 

good luck and wish us fast acceptance.

 

thanks a lot
