We can't help but wait.

-In the meantime, just get all the documents needed Passport, CENOMAR, NBI, Birth Cert (you may be surprise that there's a tiny error in it that needs correction, like mine- got a "BLANK" sex, I still have to go to my birthplace to correct it), Police report if you lived abroad for at least 6mos.

-Read (A LOT) as much as you can. Tips. Do's and dont's in the embassy. Talk to people that have been on K-1 visa. A lot of their tips surprised me...and the more I read, the more I am stunned.

-Keep on double checking stuff that you hear until you get it right.

-Tell your fiance to get ready for the Affidavit of support paper evidence.

-Print what's needed to be printed.

-Keep communicating with your fiance and document it again.

-Keep in touch with VJ..

-Pray

Happy New Year!

I am starting to panic, but I feel relieved that someone has been waiting longer than we are. Maybe they have been stacked with too many petitions. Who knows. I think it varies: season, number of application, who reviews it etc... :luv:

The "wait" has just begun, so be prepared for future times of frustration. Our NOA1 was dated 01/25/11 and the Visa Interview has JUST been granted for 10/24/11. by June, I just decided to stop being so anxious and just let time run its course. "A watch pot (visa) never boils (arrives)!

hahah nice one," wa watch pot never boils" Ill take that as my advice. I'm here anxiously checking for my NOA2 by all ports, emails, text, and mail....and via the site. ITs hell.....

I got a feeling this week :)

and to the topic starter, HOLD ON THERE! there is more waiting to do than for the NOA1. Get all the necessary docs in place. Try do that to get your mind off of things. Thats what I've been doing and with the help of the VJers its been pretty decent time spent reading and posting questions.

Best wishes to all

Have you seen that your check has been cashed yet? Also did you send with delivery confirmation if by post office or tracked the package if UPS or Fedex? I saw that about 2 days before I got the Noa1. Also seems I read something about August being end of their fiscal year so maybe thats the delay but you should try tracking the package. Jim.
