Hi all;

What does the petiotner have to do to move the process forward past NOA2.

I beleive the NOA2 comes by email and post. Is this correct?

If email, can the petitioner act then or do they have to wait for the snailmail copy?

Once received, what do they physiclly have to do. I have read the guide on what they need to send to the beneficiary? Do they have to do anything with USCIS or any other U.S. government agencies to move this forward to the beneficiaries embassy?

Thanks in advance

The petitioner waits about two weeks for the NVC to process the petition and assign a case number. Then after about two more weks the petitioner can contact the Embassy where the beneficiary lives and inquire as to if they received the petition. Then they both wait about two more weeks for the interview to be scheduled. During this time the petitioner completes the necessary forms and sends them to the beneficiary. Then when the interview date is scheduled, the medical can be scheduled. Then they both wait until those dates. The peitioner can send money for the medical and visa costs. Then when the visa is approved and received in hand, the petitioner can book tickets.

There is nothing the petitioner can do to move the process forward; it all works on its own.

What do you mean by "peitioner can send money for the medical and visa costs"? I realise that the medical will cost money. But when first applying for the k1 visa I paid (cant remember) approx $550. So when you said visa costs, are you saying that there will be more fees to pay before he gets here?

There is a Visa application fee paid to the Embassy/Consulate, plus the fee for the medical exam.

Do you know how much the visa application fee is? I heard that the medical examination will be approximately $220 american dollars, but how much does the other fee run? If it helps anything, his interview will be in Casablanca, Morocco... :blink:

The "approx $550." you paid was not a visa fee it was a petition fee. You filed a petition to get permission for your SO to be allowed to file an application for a visa.

The actual visa fee paid to the embassy is $131., you will also have to pay for the medical and any other reqs. the embassy may have.
