Hey guys! I have read back some and it looks like y'all got a nice little community going on. I am looking to join in as we have just received the online approval of our I-129 for our K1 case (12/10). I am from South Carolina and he is from Spain! SO... I am reading around on what to do next and I feel helpless again like when I started the I-129 packet. 

Can someone confirm for me I have together these steps? I have simplified them down to be sure I really get what is going on, hahaha.  I am also following this doc I found in another thread https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nfin98c33IEpB0T0FlURERriblYmlm5O/view

 

1- We wait until the letter comes in the mail with the NOA2 receipt number, and update our emails with the NVC. We wait to hear that it has arrived. (approx.30days). They send us a message. Then in another 5-10 days we call to get our case number.

2- Check shipping days (every other tues/wed) on when our case will get sent out to Madrid based on when we received our case number. Should be marked as "In transit"

2.5-We are working with the Madrid embassy, where I am almost sure we schedule his interview. So can we go ahead and do the DS-160 once we have our case number to get this date down? Or do we have to wait for he ready? Can we do the DS 160 as soon as we have the NOA2 receipt number? Basically want to schedule the interview ASAP (knowing he also needs the med exam before as well) Typing this out now though seems impossible to guess the timing on everything if we schedule in advance. thoughts?

 

3- I assume now I have to get together all the documents he needs to take to the interview. I am sure there is a list of that around here somewhere. Lets hope I don't have a mini anxiety attack while figuring this all out. HELP. Thank you

I am the author of that PDF file and if you follow along it will give you the ability to follow your case from NOA2 to the Embassy. Everything has been proven to work with the slight curve ball from some of the governmental agency where upon they sometimes don't follow their onwn process. You should be in the Decemember NOA2 to Embassy thread but it's not a requirement as you can choose where ever it is that you want to be.

 

Here is some additional information that I have for you that pertains to spain. Good luck.

Spain requires the embassy send the packet 3 which allows the beneficiary to schedule and attend the medical and needs to be brought to the medical appointment, and in order to book the interview Spain requires packet 4. I have not verified this but this information came from someone who processed recently.

 

A wet signature is not required for the I-134 that will be presented at the interview.

Thank you for this response! Since your response our case has made it to the NVC and we got out case number yesterday, Jan 3rd. Today I filled out the DS 160 and gathered the documentation. I just have to complete the I-134, I am trying to get my taxes done from last year before he goes to his interview so I am waiting on this. I hope it was ok that I did the DS 160 before our case getting to the embassy (also I thought there was a fee for the DS160 but nothing ever came up?)

 

1-Should I wait to schedule the interview then once it gets to the embassy? It should be sent off this coming Tuesday per the schedule.

2-I also want to schedule the med exam as well. I am confused on if the exam needs to 6 weeks or 6 months before the interview? 

3-I guess I am also confused on the packet 3/4 situation... what are these exactly? I feel lost with Spain, there is not that much information out there. 

 

He is going to be in Madrid for other reasons coming up and we are trying to save some by scheduling these things while he is already there. I am going to look into the interview registration page as well. Any direction would be great, your info from before was great!

The only information you need is the P3 letter which I shared with you. In the first instuctions it states to complete the DS-160, upload a copy and schedule your interview. See below. This is straight from your P3.

 

1. DS-160: You need to complete the online application form, DS-160 for each applicant included in the case. The Consular Electronic Application Center can be accessed directly through: https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/. We cannot initiate processing of your application until the electronic form has been uploaded. Please send a copy of the confirmation page with the barcode.

 

Q1 - Follow the directions in the P3 letter. See "Second" below.

Q2 - See Third below - This information comes directly from the P3. Please follow as all your questions are answered there.

Q3 - See my first paraghraph.

 

SECOND
Pay the application fee/Schedule appointment. Once we provide you authorization to schedule your appointment for the visa interview you must register in the web page https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ES/iv to pay the fee and select the post office for correspondence. There you will be able to select an appointment date and time. For assistance with registering, payment or scheduling, you may call: from Spain: 91-123-8866; or, from the United States: 1.703.543.9306.

 

THIRD
Arrange for your medical examination. Visa applicants are responsible for scheduling their own appointment for a medical examination before the scheduled interview date with the approved panel physicians. You should note that the medical examination is only valid for six (6) months and the visa validity will be limited to the validity of your medical exam. Our approved panel physician is listed on our website at https://es.usembassv.gov/wp- content/uploads/sites/260/2017/04/Instructions Medical Exam 0916.pdf. You must print the letter on the website and take it to your medical appointment. DO NOT SEND THE MEDICAL EXAM; BRING IT ON THE APPOINTMENT DATE.

Have you called USCIS and inquired as to the status of your case? Your are beyond the normal filing timeline.
