All US procedures stay the same (NOA1, NOA2, NVC), There is a slight change but not much. The only change that is different is: Before , when you get your case number and it was headed to Bangkok. You can actually drop off the forms at the embassy and get interview. Now they required proof of your case number from NVC and the two forms that were dropped off, must be submitted on-line. I guess they were getting too many people without a case number dropping off their package to get interview date.

I would sugguest reading the new udated website, it has procedures on what to do after NVC number. Good luck to you.

I forgot, the only different is the appointment system they just implemented. check it out

Also, the new rules only apply to the NON-immigrant visa processing unit from what I understand. K1's are always processed by the Immigration visa unit and as far as I know the procedure for IMMIGRANT visas are the same. K1 is technically non-immigrant but is processed as if it were an immigrant visa.

They'll send you instructions on their procedure when they get your case..
