Post NOA2 questions!

[FrozenGlitter 1]

I just got my NOA2 last night (at 10:15 pm, strangely enough), after just TWENTY DAYS. I know that now it goes to the NVC but I see so many different things that I am not sure what to do next. People say to call them to find out the case #, so my fiance can schedule his medical, right? How soon should we start calling? He suggested waiting till the 21st, is that about right or should we do it sooner than that, or later? Also, who calls them (him or me, me being the USC)? Do we wait till I get the NOA2 hardcopy, since that has the alien registration # on it?

Police Certificate: I will also ask in the UK forum if I don't get any input here, but when should he order his police certificate? Now, or after getting the case # from the NVC?

I called NVC two weeks after getting my NOA2 and I got my case number and a couple days later I got a letter from the Embassy that they had received our case. I'm in the process of gathering all of our forms and documents and then I guess after that we can schedule our interview and medical. Unfortunately for us, it's taking a little longer because my fiance is working in another country (not his native country) so I have to wait for him to get back so he can get his birth certificate and police certificate.

I would order your police certificate from the UK now. I'm not sure how long it takes to get it, but you can start getting all of the documents that you will need together and then once you have everything then you can schedule your interview. (At least that's the way I think it goes!)

Thanks. My fiance filled out his police certificate form today. He needs passport photos because that's how they do it in the UK, and he's planning to mail it in on Monday to the dept. that issues those over there. I have done more reading and see that from the CSC to NVC is taking about 6 weeks, so I imagine waiting till the 21st of this month won't hurt anything.

Congrats on the NOA2!

Yes he does need the case number to schedule his medical. Id really be surprised if it takes 6 weeks to get a case number, more like 3 weeks.

You as the USC will need to call the NVC as its an american contact. Where as your fiance would call Knightsbridge ( the medical) as its a British contact. You dont need to wait for the hardcopy to come your alien registeration number is not useful to you at all in any way.

You should apply for the police cert ASAP, I actually applied for mine before my NOA2 but there was a much longer wait back then had to find something to fill the time
