Thank you for the information, good luck and please keep us posted.

I'm waiting for Noa2.. actually I never got NOA1 but the check has been cashed.. I gues the Noa1 got lost in the mail...

CherryBlossoms hi, I have another question: is there anything we can do in the meantime? any documents we can prepare? Thank you.

Hello Geostefan and nice to meet you... . No news on your Noa1 yet? Did you try calling them or something? It`s weird! And lari_l CONGRATULATIONS! I`m really jealous! But we should get our Noa2 any day now so I`ll get over it !Good luck to everybody!

Thank you and I wish a speedy process to all of you. Keep in touch.

You can start preparing your I-134 Affidavit of Support. Here is the link to the form: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD
You will need to send this to your fiance for the interview. I started ahead of time. You have to get a notarized letter from your employer, I orded my tax transcripts from the IRS (they're free, but take 5-10 business days to receive), gathered other financial documents as proof of all of the assets I was listing on the form. Then you have to get the form notarized. You can also start gathering your proof on ongoing relationship (from the time you filed until the present) Make sure you have everything before you send it because I sent it USPS Global Guranteed mail and it cost me about $100 and got there in 5 days. Your fiance can start gathering the stuff he needs. Police certificates from the cities he has lived in. Make sure his passport is valid for at least 6 more months. Copy of his birth certificate. More passport size photos (I'm not sure how many more, I think my fiance made 8 more) for the interview and medical. Once the embassy receives your application they will forward you a packet with a checklist and a form to sign and return to them before you can set up your appointment. I hope this helps. If anyone can think of anything I missed please chime in. Good luck.

Look on the back of your check that they cashed. Your receipt number will be on there. It should start with WAC and then some numbers. Once you have this you should be able to set up an account on the USCIS website to track your progress. The NOA1 isn't really an important document. All you need from it is your receipt number. Here is the number for the USCIS if you want to call 800-375-5283.

Thanks, we will start doing these things, great advice. Did your fiance need to have some vaccines done? Sorry, questions keep popping to my mind.

Thanks for ur answer.. actually I don't have a receit number.. I sent money order and in order for me to get a receit I have to go to western union where I got the money order from which is in Chicago.. But now I'm in Romania so I can't do anything.. In a few days I will have 90 days since I applied and I will call USCIS.[size="2"][/size]

Just curious when you had to fill out the romanian forms(DS-156) what did you put for NONE since nothing translates?

Anyone?

I think you take your prior medical records to the medical exam. There they will tell you if you need more vaccinations. If you do, I think they give it to you at the medical exam. I'm not sure though. JesNSteph- Sorry I don't know the answer to your question since I didn't fill out that form. Our interview is on the 6th as well. So maybe our SO's will meet. My fiances appointment is at 1 PM. Does anybody know how early you are supposed to arrive for your interview? What time are you going to go there JesNSteph?

1PM Let's hope its a day of many gifts from St Nick!!!

Hi Both, I wish you good luck, fingers crossed and we look forward to receiving news from you. Saint Nicholas brings wonderful presents.

We are approved, she said the interiew was long and kinda sucky most couples hads 2 -3 questions and she ended up there for 20 minutes. We got approved tho!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Hi, any news from Cherryblossoms?

Congratulations to JesNSteph! Unfortunately, we were not issued a visa. We were told to gather more evidence and then set up another interview. Needless to say, we are very upset and concerned. Good luck to everyone else.

YAYYYY!!!! I had spoken with Steph on the messenger a few days ago. I'm so glad she was approved! Good luck to you both! St. Nick brought good gifts today!

Oh no! That's awful, I am SOOOO sorry for you guys. What evidence did your fiance bring? Did they give you any idea what they were looking for?
I sent Florin a whole packet of stuff...this is what I sent:
1. About 60 pictures of us together, with my family, with his family, with his friends, our engagement ceremony at his church
2. About a year of our Yahoo chat logs (probably over kill...it was about an inch thick)
3. Call logs from Skype
4. Phone bills for the last year
5. Copy of his receipt for my engagement ring, receipt for our wedding rings
6. Proof of my traveling to Romania this last year

Anyway, I hope that helps. Do you have anything like that you could put together?
I'm really sorry this happened to you, and if you need any help or have any question, please feel free to message me!

Hello, I'm a new VJ poster so please be kind lol. Im sure I speak for more people on here when I ask if you could enlighten us on some more of the details surrounding your case. After looking through alot of profiles it seems that not too many are denied. Did the consular officer specify what types of documents for further evidence they would like to see? What types of things did you include with your original I-129f petition? Obviously waitng for 7-9 months only to be refused the visa is everyones nightmare, so any more info you could provide would be appreciated thanks.

Hello everybody! We got our Noa2 . I know that the case has to be forwarded to NVC and the rest. I`d like to ask if there`s something I could do meanwhile ... . Or I just simply have to wait for the envelope from the embassy...

congrats!!

Hello and happy 2008 to everybody! This year has started more than well for us. The guys at NVC worked really fast and now our case is in Bucharest. Today I spoke with a lady (whom I think didn`t have a very good day because her voice wasn`t very friendly) and she told me that they are going to send me the yellow envelope today ! How are all the rest of you doing?

oooo very nice

Congratulations on getting the NOA2. I hope that all goes smoothly from here on out. I was wondering how long was it from the time you got your NOA1 to the time you got your NOA2. I just received my NOA1 Dec. 28th (after it sitting in NVC for 3 months) Again, I wish you al the best

Thank you all !
As for William_and_Anca, it took us exactly 134 days! On the July fillers thread, Weedebz keeps a spreadsheet with our days and averages. You should check it out !

Congratulations Danca

Hello Romania:) just a quick question that i'm trying to get answered for a few days now, the 2 forms DS-156 are in romanian ( thats how they were sent to me ) do i need to translate those as well or not?

No those do not need to be translated. If they came to you that way, fill them out and return them that way. Good Luck

Hello! I have a question! I got the yellow envelope from the embassy! I already sent them my answer. The question is: should I have also included the DS 156s now or those only have to be taken directly to the interview???

Ed said he took his to the interview with him. You can always call the embassy if ever you are in doubt good luck

Interview date set: 07/02/2008! Let`s hope for the best!!!

On the 25th the embassy from Bucharest received the DS230 part 1 and the rest of the files that they required, my question is how will i know when i have my interview? and how long does it usually take to get that answer? Thanks.

After I sent the papers they required they immediately called me. It took less than a week. Did you try calling them?

WOO HOO good luck!!!!!


Call them

interview 7/02 !!!! one final question i guess, what kind of money will i be paying the tax in, 133$ or romanian equal to that?

It`s up to you! No special requirements regarding currency! And hey, since we`ll meet there GOOD LUCK to both of us!!!

good luck indeed and thanks for letting me know about the currency will be seeing you there! cheers

I finally arrived home! And I got the visa ! Now I`m going to start looking for a plane ticket ! I`m still tired after the trip to Bucharest....but happy!!!

omg now way! me too !! grats totusi m-as fi bucurat mai mult daca ni le si scoteau , still yay us! once its all over you realise that everything at the embasy was pretty easy. got my ticket 17th february 8:25am its bye bye for me

now what was the name of that mailing company? i forgot it >.> but i got my tracking number..


oops nvm found it

Congrats both of you!!

Salut.. si FELICITARI celor care au luat VIZA.. Noi am primit NOA2 pe 7 Februarie ... petitia noastra inca nu a ajuns la NVC.. o sa sun iar astazi sa vad.. ultima data cand am sunat pe 13 februarie nu era ajunsa.... anyways.. as avea cateva intrebari la cei care au avut deja interviul or care se pricep cat de cat ...
* Dupa ce petita pleaca de la NVC si merge la Bucuresti.. cam cat dureaza pana primim plicul galben?...
* Cate plicuri trebuie sa primim? 1 sau 2?
* Pentru interviu trebuie sa sun sa ma programez sau ma programeaza ei?
* Taxa accea de $130 cand o platesc? In ziua cand merg la interviu la ambasada sau?

Daca poate cineva sa imi raspunda la intrebarile de mai sus va multumesc mult.

Dupa ce a plecat de la Nvc in max. 2 saptamani ar trebui sa va soseasca plicul (oricum sunati la ambasada sa confirmati ca a ajuns la Bucuresti)
Primiti un singur plic.
Pe mine m-au sunat ei. Dar puteti suna si voi daca vi se pare ca se intarzie.
Taxa se plateste in ziua interviului, in interiorul ambasadei (defapt chiar in sala in care am dat interviul era si casieria).
Good luck!

MERSI MULT DANCA!

As mai avea o intrebare despre I-134. Sponsorul trebuie sa fiu neaparat eu (us citizen) sau poate fii si altcineva care face destul de multi bani pe an si poate sponsoriza. Ma intereseaza pentru ca eu am doar 19 ani si nu am lucrat decat cateva luni pe an decand sunt cu iubi ca tot veneam in Romania in vizita la el. Eu am un formular I-134 completat si notarizat de un prieten fff bun de familie. Credeti ca o sa fie ok?

Va multumesc.[color="#800080"][/color]

Dificila intrebare si chiar nu am un raspuns concret. Din cate stiu eu, daca nu indeplinesti conditiile financiare, exista posibilitatea de a-ti lua un co-sponsor. Dar nu cred ca el poate reprezenta sponsorul unic. Eventual veniturile lui le completeaza pe ale tale. Si chiar si in cazul acesta tu tot trebuie sa demonstrezi/ sa explici situatia ta financiara. Imi pare rau dar mai multe nu stiu. Good luck!

[b]Stie cineva cate poze tip pasaport trebuie pentru interview si pentru examenul medical? Dupa cate am inteles trebuie 4 poze la medical si 2 la interview. Asa este? Toate trebuie sa fie 50x50 ?

Doesn't your Packet 3 state how many photos are needed in tota, each consulate is different, but the instructions in the Packet 3 should tell you how many photos you need. As for the size...they need to be 2 inch x 2 inch (51 mm x 51 mm).

Good luck,
-P

E adevarat ca e un total de 6 fotografii. Cele de la medical nu e obligatoriu insa sa fie 50x50 ci pot fi clasicele poze de pasaport.

Am primit si noi plicul galben ieri
Mai am o intrebare daca stie careva.. pe lista de instructiuni zice sa scriem numele adresa semnatura si numarul de caz ceea ce nu stiu eu e care numar ala de la USCIS cu WAC or ala de la NVC or care?

Salut,

Am o intrebare, in legatura cu taxa de interviu. Se poate plati inainte de interviu, la B. Transilnavia?

...Intreb, ptr ca eu deja am platit-o, cu intentia sa ne incercam sansa, poate prindem o viza de turist pana o se termina tot procesul CR1.
Ei, si NOA2, a venit , destul de rapid ,si nu am mai incercat ptr viza de turist.
Am ramas cu taxa platita si interviul anulat( de noi).

Nu ma perpelesc de cei 130$ deja platiti, dar ar fi fain daca as scapa sa mai platesc inca o data taxa de interviu.
