Hello! The guide doesn't explain this thoroughly. Please explain exactly which documents I should have my foreign spouse gather in lieu of the NOA2 which should be coming soon, God willing. Exactly which documents should I gather myself? Thanks in advance guys...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
A checklist of items needed in preparation for interview as well as the medical will be mailed to you wife shortly, or if you're the choice of agent, you will be receiving those paperwork.

djveed,

Nothing is needed in place of the NOA2.

Okay. I'm retarded.

I realized I didn't use the words IN LIEU correctly. In lieu means - to replace.

What I meant was - considering the fact that God willing I'm getting an NOA2 soon, what should I tell my wife (foreign spouse) to begin to gather so that we can quickly move on to the next step?

What are the next steps (specificall and in plain English)?

I'll use grammar check next time too.

djveed,

Find OF-167 or DS-2000 - same document, old and new designations. Consulates differ as to some of the details, so look first on your consulate's web site, but if you can't find the consulate-specific one you want then a generic one will give you a good idea.

There's also the VJ Guides and Visa FAQ.

You can also ask around on VJ who has recent copies for packets 3 & 4 from your embassy and they can e-mail them to you. The Colombia club has been doing this for a while and members can have their spouses/fiaces ready before the embassy recieves anything from NVC.
