California to Texas & Texas to California - Part 2

[Rakmaster 1]

Received 2 out of 3 hard-copy NOA2's today... I'm anticipating the 3rd one will arrive tomorrow or the next day. The approvals were generated out of the CSC, and indicate the case(s) have been sent to the Department of State, NVC! Wooot!!!

So here is an interesting thing we have learned today from our lawyer after having our I-130 approved at the USCIS and on our way to the NVC side of the world. Basically what we were told is that we do not have to wait for any USCIS letter to arrive in the mail. Instead, we will be getting an email in about 1-2 weeks directly from NVC with instructions for paying the fees and what documents NVC will require from us to submit. This is particularly interesting, as there is no need to wait for any hard copy letters, nor any need to call NVC. I only wonder how does NVC know our email address, but it makes me think that when our lawyer submitted all documents for I-130, they must have submitted The Choice of Agent form that NVC will use immediately. Anyone sees any flaws in this thinking process? It looks good to me and I'd take it! Any thoughts? Thanks!

If you have a lawyer, he or she is automatically designated as the agent, so no DS-3032 is generated for you. Another bonus for having a lawyer is that both bills are generated at the same time, so you save a few days instead of waiting for the IV bill to appear.

Sorry that I interfere your discussion but I wanted to make something sure. It says or in the official language of the country, in which application for a visa is being made. My application is made in the US, same as yours, right? How will they able to read all the documents in all the different languages? I'm preparing my stuff for NVC and I'm still not sure if I should get a translation. It just seems so unlikely that they accept papers in all the different languages if they can't even read them. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I just want to be 100% sure.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm playing it safe and getting everything translated. It isn't a requirement to speak the language of the country that the conlulate you work in is. I just want to make it as easy as possible for the ajudicators and interviewers.

Hang in there! It's on the way!!

Since the service centers have been bustin' their butts all week,,, hopefully the August NOA1's will be addressed very, very soon!

If it was your thinking process then everyone always would have to have their original documents translated into English, because we all apply initially through the US. However, what "application for a visa" means in this case is where you will physically go to have an interview at the embasssy/consulate abroad and as long as your original documents are from the same language (German for Austria and applying through the US embassy/consulate in Austria), then all you need is original docs without English translation.

The consulate in Almaty, Kazakhstan requires documents to be translated. At least thats what the woman said when I called them and asked.
