[pkewl 0]

Ed, hope you sort out your NVC stuff... but as you said, as long as the petition reaches Manila and ON TIME, thats what matters....

My Honey... Congrats once more and welcome to the post-USCIS era

Our case arrived at the Embassy today. Good news. Every since in left the CSC it has moved at a resonable rate.

Question??? Can we send back packet 3 while we are waiting for the medical. I am hoping to return the packet within the next few days and since none of the medical goes with packet thee and it is taken to the interview. Can I go ahead and return it a few days before completing the medical?

Also do I actually have to submit fotos in advance. They want copies. Seems like a bunch of work. Has anyone sent a CD or DVD of pictures?

Thanks

It appears you need to send in the checklist to get an interview appointmen

"Once you have returned the checklist indicating that you have all the required documents, the IV unit will schedule the final visa interview."

We are waiting for the medical appt. I figure we can send it in without the medical info as it is not part of the packet that gets sent back. It is taken to the interview.

My wife is still using her maiden name. I figure once she gets here we will cross that bridge. Seems like it only complicates things before. That is the route we decided to take.

Hablo espanol. Puedes mandarme preguntas pero tambien es bueno a pedirlos en los "forums" asi puedes tener la ayuda de muchos. Puedes ir a http://babelfish.altavista.com/ y pon tu texto y va a salir en ingles tambien puede poner texto en ingles y traducirlo a espanol.

Suerte,

Certainly not necassary. My wife is not taking my last name, no big deal either way.

You don't wait for the medical to send back the packet as long as, depending on the delay with interview scheduling at your embassy, you make sure that your interview is scheduled after the medical results will be in hand.

Hey folks! Add me to the list See Sig below.

on a different note, i am hoping all of you here have the same wording written on the I-130 NOA2 as below:

"The petition indicates that the person for whom you are petitioning is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status. He or she should contact the local INS office to obtain Form I-485, Application for Permanent Residence. A copy of this notice should be submitted with the application.

If the person for whom you are petitioning decides to apply for a visa outside the United States based on this petition, the petitioner should file Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, with this office to request that we send the petition to the Department of State National Visa Center (NVC)."

In the email did they say that your petition arrived at the embassy? I had requested and received packet 3 in October, even before CSC approved the petition, so unless in the email they actually say they received it, it's possible that they're just being nice and sent you the packet ahead of time. I thought about sending in a CD with clips and photos, and having seen the inside of the embassy I know they have computers to view the stuff, but I think they want to see more hard copy photos with explanations. What it boils down to is that they want to know if you're actually married or not, or if it's a sham. According to the NVC, my petition was sent out a week before yours but the embassy hasn't contacted me yet (even though I sent them the NVC petition number) saying that they received it, so it's possible that it's still in a pile of mail waiting to be processed....however, I'm not in too much of a hurry, as I can't get down to Buenos Aires until the second week of December to get the police check done (thank God that it only takes 8 hours to process, I can do it in one day no problem). The medical, well, you can't actually get that done until they receive your packet 3 info from what they told me in emails....

Our embassy explicitly says no videos, DVDs, VCDs, or photos on CD. They want paper. Takes too much time to review in soft format I take it.

Welcome to the thread G. Will add you on the next update.

And yes, the I130 NOA2 says that to indicate that it will be held for AOS when your spouse is in the US. For now, its off to the NRC for your I130!
