Hey VJ Family!

So here are the updates on my case:

1) NVC received my case and assigned number on 11/22/16
2) NVC sent out my documents to consulate today on 11/28/16

I havent received any letter yet from NVC not sure when that will come in?

Questions I have:
Do you guys know how long it takes for mail to be received usually internationally?

I need guidance on the next steps. I have my employment letter ready. How many pay stubs do I need? How many bank statements do I need for how many months? How many years of tax documents do I need? I also have a small business, would I include bank statements for that as well?
When do I start filling out the DS form and do I need to send an original affidavit of support form to my fiance or can I scan and email it? When does my fiance set up the medical exam and interview?

I need a lot of guidance!! Thank You!

I received my case number on Oct 5 and didn't receive the letter until Oct 12. So about a week. Letter from NVC is not really important. The "packet 3" or mailed case update from the embassy to the fiance was received on Oct 14.

It took the UK ~1 day to receive my case after it was shipped to the embassy (update on CEAC). However, I could tell my update because i logged into the embassy portal every day until i was able to book the interview.

I submitted 1 year's worth of tax transcripts, my most recent pay stub, and a letter of employment. The I-134 is less stringent than the I-864. So far as I am able to discern, it's more of a "convince the CO your fiance won't be a burden" than a true support affidavit. So it depends on the intensity of your embassy and the leniency of your CO. England is reportedly far more lax than most, so I suggest you check your regional discussion forums for more detailed assistance. Yes, this form DOES need to be an original copy. I mailed mine and it took ~5 days to reach my fiance in the UK.

You can start filling out the DS160 as soon as you get your case number, however as it is your fiance/e's application for visa, THEY have to be the ones to "sign" it electronically. You can assist them with answering the questions and filling out the form however I personally found it impossible to fill it out myself as it asked very detailed personal historical questions.

The medical can be scheduled as soon as you get your case number; the interview varies by embassy. We were able to schedule my fiance's as soon as the embassy "received" the case, some embassies require you to wait until you've received the mailed "packet 3" from the embassy. Again, check your regional discussion forums.

Don't forget your Police Certificate! This can be obtained at any time.
