wow congrats ! :) that was fast! now your case will be sent to NVC to get a case number and then to Ciudad Juarez! Ciudad Juarez will then send you a "packet 3" and after you get that you can schedule your interview.

In the mean time check the consulate website for all the things you'll need for the interview.

Thank you!! It's surreal. I sent my petition to the Dallas Lockbox and then they sent it to the California Service Center. I did everything myself, thanks to this website. I couldn't have done it

She just found out while on her way to Moscow.

We are all so lucky. so unexpected.

to answer TraCami, I did it myself after lots of research and reading of forums here and anywhere else I could find, Maria did just as much if not more research, so it was a team effort. Sent to Texas and was routed to California.

We will keep you posted as to our progress and what we do when and where.

Thanks for the comments and thanks for the posts that got us to this point!

WOW that is awesome, 2 months! Well congratulations! What happens now is that your file most likely will be sent to NVC (national Visa Center) where again the file will be reviewed prior to being sent to the consulate. You can contact NVC at 603-334-0700 to #1 determine if they have received your file (usually they receive about 5-10 days after you received you I-797 receipt of NOA2 approval in the mail and # 2 request from them your NVC case number as this will be your case number with the consulate as well. After review by NVC the file will then be sent to the consulate. If you have not already begun preparing to gather the paperwork your fiance will need for the interview, I suggest you go online to the website for the U.S consulate in Mexico where your fiance will have their interview and download the instructions for the application process fpr the K-1 visa. This will provide you with instructions on what type of paperwork your fiance will need to send into the consulate/embassy prior to interview and also what information he/she will need to bring with them to the interview. However, if you choose not to do that, you can wait until the file is received by the consulate at which point they would contact you and your fiance and advise you of what documents they are requesting from you. However, it is a lot of work, took me 3 months to gather all the information needed for package # 3, so I would suggest working on that ASAP if you can.

Best of luck to you and again congratulations!
