Hi,

Here is my story; me an my wife got married in Chennai, India and I live here in Dayton, Ohio USA; she is an Indian citizen currently in Liverpool, UK on a work permit; we got married on the 18th of January 2007 and I started the K-3 process on the 8th of March 2007; on the 15th of August 2007 we got approval for both our I-130 and I-129F application;

I have found from all my reading of the USCIS website and visa journey that the next step for our application is the National Visa Center; there is nothing I have to do at this point from my side. Next it reaches the Chennai consulate; here once they receive it I am confused about what happens:

When I sent the Chennai Consulate an email they said that they do not have a Packet 3; but only have a Packet 4 that they send out; and it contains an interview date and some forms to fill up.

The Forms at a high level are the following:

1. The Affidavit of Support from the Petitioner.

2. Medical for Beneficiary.

3. Police Check for Beneficiary.

I am still confused on what to expect from the rest of the process post NOA-2 with respect to the Chennai, Consulate.

If any one can shed a little light on this I would appreciate it.

Also is there any action on my part when the application reaches the NVC.

Hi

We have a similar timeline as yours. You have to start collecting the I-134, I-864 from here and prepare with the necessary documents. Your wife will receive a packet that will have the interview date in it. You can call the NVC and ask them for the status and then the chennai consulate on when its going to be sent to your wife. Other than that, your wife can get her police clearance certificates and wait in the meantime.
