Got NOA 2 now whats next?

[maximus 0]

I finally recieved the approved NOA 2 after approx. 71 days of waiting. Now what do I need to do next? Send my fiance' the duplicate packet 129F that I made according to the visa guide and will I also at this point send her my I134 documents of support, tax returns, pay stubs, updated letter of intent to marry?

Also at what point would I buy her plane ticket to the USA? After the medical I would guess but it maybe much less expensive to purchase the plane ticket several months in advance, the problem with that is if she doesn't for some reason pass the medical or interview then the money spent on the ticket would be lost.

Is there a step by step guide as to what documents to send and at what point in the visa process?

Also she has a 2 year old daughter but never married so will she still need some type of letter from the father to allow the child to come to the USA?

If anyone is from the San Francisco Bayarea and can guide a fellow member and newbie going thru the K1 and also a K2 for the child please email or PM me with any assistance I would be greatly aprreciative.

Thank You to all VJ members and Good Luck and God Bless!

Follow this Guide: click here!

Omit sections 4.5 and 5.1. The document verification is no longer done and air 21 is the new currier.

Another useful source is the US Embassy Manila website: http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3023.html

Follow the navigation links on the left side of the webpage.

Your next step is waiting a week or two and calling the NVC to find if your petition has been forwarded and to get a Manila case number. Or you can be really patient and what for them to hopefully send you a letter.

Congratulations!! We really got lucky at getting our NOA2 after only 21 days, thank God. But now we are all in the same boat preparing for more paperworks.

My Fiance and I, decided not to mail the entire I-129F duplicate packet as it will cost him another $100 or more if he sends it to me. So what we did is he scanned important things and I will be printing them out here. Like: NOA1 & 2, his passport & stamps as proof of meeting each other, his naturalization paper as it was part of our package sent to USCIS, and we're still waiting for NVC letter. I was the one who compiled the chatlogs, emails, phone logs and money transfers so it's easy for me to print the documents out. Pictures as proofs can just be printed here and will cost your fiance Php5 per picture.

Helpful links are already pinned on this regional forum, so read read read.

For your fiancee's daughter, from what I know, the biological father/one declared on the birth cert needs to sign some paperworks from Department of Social Welfare & Dev (DSWD) advising his consent to let the mom take the kid with her. You might be able to get more infos at http://www.dswd.gov.ph/
