FEBRUARY 2022 K1 NOA2 to NVC to EMBASSY

[gw-lh 12]

Sitting on a 12-Feb NOA2 and NVC said they still have no received my case from USCIS. Submitted an inquiry and now I guess it's time for more waiting while they reach out to USCIS 😟

Any updates on your case?

Yeah! We heard back from the NVC, they've sent our case to the polish embassy and we will receive packet 3 from them

We had medical and they saw a line on his lower lung so referred him for sputum to rule out TB.  We had to cancel our interview and flights hotels etc.  sputum was 3 days of testing and now we have to wait 8 weeks!  
we went to his private doctor and had an X-ray and CT and doctor said definitely not TB and nothing to worry about.  So visa process messed us up again as if 16 months wasn’t enough time to wait 😞

Bummed to say the least.

Nice, that means it took just one month for your case transfer from uscis to NVC and to Warsaw, very quickly, I hope ours get the same

Did you start scheduling the medical examination and interviews dates?

No not yet, we're waiting on confirmation/packet 3 from the polish embassy. There was a post on visa journey warning us to not schedule medical/interview until we have packet 3 because they will cancel our interview immediately.

 

Slavaskii and millefleur have been very helpful to me, as they're in the same boats as us. Check out the Russian Belarus Ukraine portal for more stuff! (And feel free to message me directly, although I'm just as confused as everyone else 😂😭)

Hey guys, 

The I 134 form on the USCIS website is expired. Is there a new form out there that I cant find?

That is the current form.  I called them and they said use that one until further notice.

Update on my interview at the US London Embassy today!!

 

I arrived at the US Embassy and joined a queue, took roughly 20minutes. Upon arriving at the front I was asked for my passport and invitation letter/DS-160 confirmation.

 

I then went through airport style security, no laptops or iPads permitted into the building! I was asked to open any app on my mobile.

 

I then made my way to the entrance where I joined another queue but once I got closer I informed the receptionist that I'm here for the K1 and she asked me to come forward, handed the DS-160 again, she stuck my number on the paper. Asked me to then proceed to floor 1, left then left again. 

 

I approached the waiting room and immediately saw my number appear on the screen. The friendly lady behind the window asked a few questions; if I've ever been married, changed my name and when am I planning to travel. Then she asked me for the following documents: 

 

1. Passport + 1 pic

2. Police certificate  

3. Birth certificate (+ translation as its in a different language

4. Affadivit and a tax return but i provided my fiances W2 + Tax return transcript 

 

I Wasn't asked for a letter of intent however, I had one from my fiance just in case. I then had a fingerprint scan. She then asked me to sit down and wait for my number to be called.

 

Fast forward 5 minutes and my number was called. I approached a different window and I cannot tell you how friendly the American man was!

 

He first asked me to raise my hand and swore me in, then scanned finger prints again. He proceeded with 'let's have a chat my friend' super casual! He asked the following questions:

 

1. How did we meet

2. When did we start talking

3. Have you lived in any other country as an adult

4. Who proposed 

5. When did I propose

6. What are our wedding plans (small intimate wedding, married within 90 days)

 

After this he said everything looks great and approved my visa on the spot. Took 5minutes!! Told me my passport will be returned next week :)!

 

I was extremely nervous but honestly this was the easiest part about the entire process!!

Hey everyone,

For the I 134 form in the part that says dependent’s information, do I add my fiance on there? Also, number 38 on the form that says I intend or do not intend to make specific contributions. What does this mean exactly and how are we supposed to fill this out?

I see, almost a month.. I was checking similar timelines and it only took a week for their cases to be sent that’s why I was wondering how long it took for others. Thanks for the reply!
