    it depends on the embassy how long it takes for them to send the instructions according to that link in my original comment it says packet 3 comes in an email to the petitioner, but it doesn't specify a time frame. I would say wait 1-2 weeks before contacting them but you can use their visa navigator to find the correct email/way to type up the email so it goes to the right place Visa Services Navigator https://eg.usembassy.gov/embassy-consulate/cairo/contact-us/ also according to that original link, everything is just a copy of the document. not the original. as the embassy will keep the documents you give them.

    yea thats true since theres no upcoming federal holidays, maybe it'll go a little quicker lol

    well made the mistake of not using the newest forms... got our packet back in the mail yesterday. even though the uscis website said they'd accept the old forms if it was post marked before february 10th... now gotta send everything back today
  4. MalloryCat
    you only need the ds-160 confirmation page printed. not the entire form itself. once the DS-160 is submitted, you will be able to print the confirmation page. those documents will need to be printed regardless. but yes they should be fine. they want to see your current income.

    ours went to the Elgin lockbox i guess illinois is just slow in general 😂
  7. MalloryCat
    that makes me feel a little better 😂
  8. MalloryCat
    ahh ok thank you! we filed at the illinois lockbox, it was delivered on the 20th and haven't gotten anything yet making me anxious lol
  9. MalloryCat
    which lockbox did you file with? and when did you get your NOA1? can you fill out your timeline please?

    i am not sure the only thing I can find is that they have the dedicated staff and the infrastructure to handle the family based petitions.

    the DOS is different from the embassy the DOS may process the petition within 30 days, but all they do is send it to the embassy. embassies do not have the same policy.

    you should have them include the salary as well. if you look at the instructions for the I-134 "Statement(s) from your employer on business stationery showing: A. Date and nature of employment; B. Salary paid; and C. Whether the position is temporary or permanent" https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-134instr.pdf

    after the visa interview your case goes through more administrative processing that is most likely what is happening it will eventually update to "approved" or "issued" it can take days to weeks, depending on the embassy and how simple your case is it's completely normal

    the tracker is very glitchy, and not very reliable most of the time. it'll probably change back, especially if they are expecting a response to a RFE

    have you gone through your visa interview at the embassy in Argentina? if not you still have that to do before receiving the visa. NOA2 means the United States has approved your USC fiance's petition (i129-f), the embassy in Argentina still has to approve your visa (K-1). I would also say not to have a party like that. the marriage is just a signed piece of paper you can have the party whenever, AFTER you've signed that paper in the US

    they all get sent to the lock boxes in texas but i believe the majority get sent to be processed in California. they go to the other offices for different reasons.

    please fill in your timeline for your AOS
  19. MalloryCat
    it could be. We are in michigan. I know for getting a state id/drivers license the NOA1 is enough. plus a bunch of other stuff it could also be because I personally bank with a credit union, that could make a difference
  20. MalloryCat
    hmm might have to try that!
  21. MalloryCat
    that's why evidence of married life isn't a requirement for AOS from K-1, because it is hard to get really anything in such a short time frame. we can't get my husband a bank account until he has a state id/drivers license, and we cant get that until we have at the very least an NOA1 from the AOS. but I also agree, the notarized letter from FIL about your living situation would be good also encourage just getting your own place together. depending on the landlord, whether its one person or a company, they should only need one person to meet whatever financial stuff they require. they didn't even need an SSN for my husband when I added him to the lease.

    Only Montreal handles family based immigrant visa petitions

    yea certificate is what i meant my county clerk was using them interchangeably for whatever reason lol we were able to look it up on their website to see if it had been processed yet, and then was able to order copies once it was
  24. MalloryCat
    this is for a K-1 visa? after the interview, whether you receive a verbal approval or not, your case will go through more administrative processing which can take days or weeks but you will not get your visa right after the interview, it will take some time for them to process it. getting the visa in hand will also take days or weeks, depending on how long it is in administrative processing
  25. MalloryCat
    that is also a very good point lol
