We are waiting for the NOA2

[BrianAndKati2009 0]

My Fiance Kati and have been navigating this "Waiting Game" for the last 3 months. I just registered for the site yesterday and I now feel a new surge of hope that we are not going to be waiting until November to get our NOA2. This has been the most intense 3 months of my life. The waiting has been really good for our relationship because we get to talk so much and learn so much more about each other. (THANK GOD FOR VONAGE) I guess it has just been hard not to be able to go on dates and all of the other stuff normally associated with being together.

One thing that I am starting to wonder is this though... We did the I-129F, got the NOA1, and now are waiting for the NOA2... What can we do right now to help us out when we get to the interview stage? I have read a little about doing the AOS and other forms (I really feel like a Novice right now) that other people do. Can anyone give us some things that we can start to do while we are doing all of this waiting? Also, can anyone link any helpful articles or suggestions for us. And one last question is how do people get the detailed timelines at the bottom of their posts??? Is this just something that people make them selves or is there another section of the site I haven't found? Thank you so much in advance....

You can start doing her interview forms NOT her AOS hehehehehe!!!

The DS-156 and the Ds-156k and the DS-157 and get ready for her to have to pay for the interview.

She will have to go to a DBO Bank and pay for it and get them to stamp her DS-157 or DS-156 PAID in FULL.

See the guide on USICS site to see what forms are rquired.

They will also not send a PACKET 3 to you but in the letter they will say what they require.

Photos for sure also .. (still Laughing) I gave Rosie enough money to get about 2 dozen photos like our Passport photos.

By the time we did all the stuff there and she brought them to the U.S.A. us use 6 for the AOS here after we was married.

I forgot the cost but there are two things to save your money for her Fee for EXAM at ST LUKE in Manila and the INTERVIEW in Manila.

If she is not in Manila then you will also have plane fee to save for ....

Oh and read up on the Day long class she has to take in Manila or Cebu before she can leave the Philippines, all Filipinas have to have the class and a stamp on their Visa from the place where she take it.

I have heard of some people taking the class and keeping their reciept then going back to get it stamped after they pass. To me I had Rosie wait for two reasons ..she didn't have a Reciept to loose (HAHA) and second after the clasee was done she got it stamped and I knew it was done.

Good Luck

Your best bet is to start preparing the paperwork for the interview stage in Finland, i'm not really up on what they require but check their website to see what they need from you.

at top of page will help you very much, you can also look at the consulate page on VJ for information about the embassy you will be going through.
