Ici le dinosaure auto-proclamé du thread qui vous parle ( j'peux me permettre, ya qu'a voir ma timeline).

Le jour tant espéré arrive enfin: interview le 15 Avril.

Je suis un peu confusionéifié™ a propos de la confirmation de l'interview sur le site https://usvisa-info.com/, ca doit etre fait pour les IR-1 aussi?

Ma lettre P4 du NVC ne me demande pas de le faire mais les instructions ici: http://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Supplemental/PRS%20-%20Paris.pdfdisent le contraire (enfin assez flou). Et une fois sur us-visa-info le premier choix est de s'inscrire si demandé par le NVC. M'ont rien dit moi le NVC ... ????

Qqn deja passé par la peut m'eclairer?

C'est vrai que c'est quand meme tres flou. Je n'ai aucune idee de ce qu'il faut faire mais instinctivement je me dis "Ca ne fait pas de mal de s'enregistrer sur usvisa-info" Il est quand meme tres peu probable qu'a l'ambassade il te reproche d'avoir essaye de comfirme un rendez-vous alors que le contraire peu etre...

Dans le cas du K1 usvisa-info sert surtout a payer les frais de visa et juste apres tu confirme ton rendez-vous sur le site. Comme je ne me suis pas interesse au IRC1 je ne sais pas la procedure evidement, mais comment tu va payer les frais de visa?

Petit detail egalement, le PDF que tu met en lien indique que tu as besoin d'une enveloppe Chronoposte, je comfirme que pour les K1 ca n'est plus le cas. Est ce que peu etre le fichier PDF de VisaJourney est obsolete et celui que tu as recu est une nouvelle version? Juste une idee...

Un long post pour pas dire grand chose desole, juste pour partager mon opinion sur ta situation...

Salut Yohann, sympa de ta part de revenir nous voir. Ca se passe bien la vie a Boston? Pret pour St-Patrick?

Pour les IR-1 tous les frais de visa ont déjà été payes au NVC, il ne reste plus que les $165 pour la green card a payer entre l'interview et le POE.

Comme tu as pu le constater, non seulement les instructions sur ce PDF sont assez floues mais en plus elles sont obsolètes, en tous cas pour l'histoire du Chronopost même pour les IR-1.

Je sonde encore un peu VJ mais je pense que je vais aller m'inscrire "et puis c'est tout" (comme dit mon fils de 5 ans :D )

J'ai fait la confirmation de l'interview ce matin et apparemment c'est obligatoire car c'est notamment là que s'effectue la saisie de l'adresse postale d'envoi du passeport avec le visa et le package pour le POE.

Bon courage a tous!

Super, c'est rassurant de savoir que tu fait tout bien. Bon courage en attendant l'interview, plus qu'un mois a attendre !

Je me prepare doucement pour la St Patrick oui :) Mais surtout tout le monde est content que ENFIN la neige fonde a Boston, ca a ete l'anne la plus eneige de l'histoire de la ville...

De memoire ils envoient deux NOA2, un au conjoint Americain, et un au Francais.

Petite astuce comme sur le papier il y a vos deux noms et l'adresse du conjoint Americain, et que c'est un papier officiel avec des joli logos de l'USCIS, je m'en suis servit pour jsutifier mon adresse aux US au debut car mon nom n'aparaisait sur aucune facture encore... En tout cas ca a marche pour mon permis de conduire...

Felicitation et bon courage !

Bonjour,

Je suis une étudiante en sociologie et langues en première année de master,

Je cherche actuellement des expatriés français qui accepteraient de répondre à une courte enquête.

Je vous remercie grandement de votre temps et attention.

Voici >> le lien <<.

English speakers: if you know a French expatriate I would be most grateful if you could send them this way. I am a student trying to write her thesis and in need of some testimony from French expatriates in the United States. Thank you for your time!

Hello Blueprints!

You should post your request in the french-american couples' topic: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/473587-frenchamerican-couples-part-iii-2014/page-32

You will get more visibility there because that's where we gather. :)

Hey y'all!

I have a quick question : My fiancée and I are a confused on how the Package 3 will be sent to her. I read on VJ that it should be sent thru email, not postal service. Correct me if I'm wrong but, I don't recall that the beneficiary's email address was asked on the I-129F?

Thanks :)

Hi,

Yes the packet 3 is mailed threw post office to the Alien fiance. There is definitely a section where you write your address on the 129F.

Bonjour à tous,

Now waiting for the Packet 3 to be sent to my place! Should receive it within 2 weeks..

Est-ce qu'il existe une liste claire, quelque part, des éléments à renvoyer au consulat après réception du Packet 3?

Tout ce que je trouve est assez confus ... avec des mélanges entre éléments à renvoyeret/ou à amener lors de l'ITW.

J'aimerais évidemment préparer les docs en amont pour les renvoyer le lendemain de la réception.

Can't wait to join you in the US guys!

cheers

Thomas
