Waiting for NOA2, what forms can I start/tell my fiance to start gathering?

[vs2011 3]

I am a June 2011 filer at VSC, still no NOA2. So instead of just sitting around and waiting, what can I start doing on my end to help speed up the process once the NOA2 does arrive? As in prepare documents for Packet 3/4 etc?

What is already listed on the Forum:

1.A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).

2.Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.

3.Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).

4.I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.

5.You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.

6.A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail.

7.Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now).

What else? Anything I can do to start preparing for the upcoming Packets and forums required? Passport Clearance/Police Clearance etc?

My fiance is in India, using the Delhi Embassy if that helps.

Thanks!!

check into your vaccinations. Prepare your DS-230, DS-156, DS-156K, I think there is a DS-157 for males. Go to your consulate website and see what information is needed for country specifics. I could be wrong because I'm in Canada. For some of the vaccinations they are done in a series so check them out with the approved Civil Surgeon for your area.

Have the beneficiary (I don't know if that's you or not) start working on the police and passport clearance certificates. Some people (including my fiance) had a lot of trouble getting those. I think you just need the passport clearance now, but my fiance had to provide the police clearances to the passport office to get his passport clearance and we submitted them to VFS for the interview in case they decided they wanted them.

Some passport offices give you your certificate in one day, ours took two tries and 2.5 months total (Guwahati, Assam). You MUST get the passport clearance from the office that originated the passport, not the closest office. If it one and the same for you, consider yourself lucky. Regardless, look up your passport office on line and read about the forms you have to fill out. Sometimes you can do it in advance. Sometimes they only accept them in person during certain hours.

Good luck!
