Hey everyone. I just have some questions. The embassy in Ho Chi Minh city has our paperwork, and when I tracked the case on the NVC site, it says the embassy is ready for us to schedule our appointment. I am really happy about that.

So the packet 3, will they send this to my finacee's house at some point?

Also, will I receive any emails from the embassy? When I called the NVC when receving the case number the lady made it sound like I would.

Hello Clawren. Usually this packet is mailed to whomever's email was on the petition. It is also ground mailed to the beneficiary's home address. In my case, it was mailed to both of us for some reason. Since you have taken note that your case it "Ready" (congrats! :)) you may begin with the next step. Here is a link to your embassy's K1 Application instructions: http://photos.state.gov/libraries/hochiminh/231771/PDFs/K-INSTRUCTION.pdf

cheers

We completed our Packet 3 before either of us got an email or ground mail. If you have your case number and your invoice number, you can go ahead and complete packet 3 per the link I shared with you earlier.

Can I take a moment to vent on how ridiculous this entire system is? Our interview is tomorrow, and after paying $50 to mail my original birth certificate to Managua they have lost it. I have spoken with USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, the customs office in Managua as well as the local post office in Granada where my fiance lives and not one person knows where it is even though I have tracking and customs numbers. So, after 9 months of waiting for this interview we have to cancel it and post pone it until further notice because we can't even reschedule it because the documents are gone. I will have to order a new official birth certificate which takes time itself and then post it yet again to Nicaragua. I am completely deflated and frustrated.

Are you the petitioner? Why are you sending your BC for your fiance's interview? Is this a requirement?

Not sure about his/her consulate, but at the Montreal consulate they didn't ask to see petitioner birth cert. They wanted a photocopy of mine though (long-form).

I just read the embassy k1 instructions for his/her consulate and they actually ask for both. So bizarre. I'm assuming it's a high fraud country.

Congratulations :)

And thanks.

Thanks also StephanieC.

They changed the status to "advanced parole" and I had a heart attack because I thought that was the thing that takes like several weeks. Then the next day they changed it to issued. Thank goodness. Just waiting for communication about the Loomis thing now...
