Hey! I got my NOA2 today and I am so scared about NVC. I filed an I-130 now what happens? I want to zip through NVC rapidly because we have waited so long to be together already. So can you all tell me what I need to be preparing "right now" and how I can get through rapidly and not have a large amount of delays?

Look at the menu at the top of the Visa Journey page 4th from the left is a tab named "GUIDES". Open it up and start learning the process. Explore the page for your type visa and circumstances. I think you would be better served checking out the guides rather than someone listing everything for you. There is a lot of information and guidance available that has already been written. After you take time to do that, then use the forums to list specific questions or to ask questions to clarify something.

Congrats on your NOA2. Start studying the guides ASAP so you can prepare as soon as possible (the more you study the guides, the sooner you can start saving time through the NVC process).

Best of Luck, and we are always here to answer questions and give support.

Best Wishes,

~Bleauwolf
