Do I REALLY need the NOA2 for the interview or to be sent with packet 3?

Hi to all.

I was checking today the documents my fiance sent me, and he forgot to send me the NOA2.

Im still waiting for other documents to arrive from my birth country, so I haven't send packet 3 yet.

I want to know whether the NOA2 is a indispensable document I need for the next step or not.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, most of all you should check the list of requimenst for K1 in Argentina. But as far as I know nobody asks for NOA2 at interview. They have approved petition in the consulate, so why do they need your NOA2.

you need NOA2 only when you file for your green card (AOS)

I was asking bc I read here on the VJ K1 visa checklist that I would need a copy of the NOA2, and I didn't know whether it was an indispensable document to bring to the interview or not.

I know I will need it for the AOS.

Anyway, he will scan it and send it just in case.

Thanks for your reply

What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):

1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one). Your fiance(e) should review this information in advance of the interview (the embassy will have copies of this as well). 2. Send copies of the documentary proof that you submitted with the I-129F for your fiance(e) to have on hand for their interview at the embassy. Your fiance(e) should review this information in advance of the interview (the embassy will have copies of this as well). 3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F). 4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all. 5. You will need several items (for the above form). Gather duplicate evidence of income and resources as appropriate:

(A) Statement from an officer of the bank/financial institution with your deposits, identifying the following: 1. date account opened; 2. total amount deposited for the past year; 3. present balance

(B) Statement(s) from your employer on business stationary showing: 1. Date and nature of employment; 2. salary paid; 3. whether position is temporary or permanent (also include copies of your last two pay stubs and your previous W-2 for the associated employer if available)

© If Self Employed: 1. Copy of last income tax return filed (or IRS transcripts); or 2. report of commercial rating concern

(D) List containing serial numbers and denominations of bonds and name of record owner(s).

Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. See this FAQ for more tips and useful information on the Affidavit of Support Form. 6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail. (backup information; the embassy will have copies of this as well) (emphasis added) 7.

Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, online chat logs (pick several over the prior few months), etc.. from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 until date-now).

Examples: Copies of land line and cell phone bills, appropriate emails and letters you have sent including the stamps on envelopes (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

If that is what you are referring to, read the emphasized statement. It would be a bad day if you go to the interview and their documents were misplaced, and you didn't follow the back-up advice, likely resulting in an avoidable delay. During you immigration journey - be prepared.

Good luck.

Yes, this.

You need the NOA2 hard copy for when you go through AOS. If you don't have it, start making arrangements to get a replacement sent out now. Don't wait until you need it.
