it has been 60 days I have not get any updates? Is this normal? Well, ATD has waited 67 days if I am right. Is anybody left from 08 has not got their NOA2 yet?

[ADT 17]

Mine is 64 days...I think your should approve anytime soon

[oguzksk 25]

Called them they said as they said to you that It will take 5 months to hear them something.

It is really annoying while for those applied after me got their noa2 already.

Hi,

Should be coming soon. In the meanwhile you should get your police clearance certificate, financial support form (i-134) filled out & get the evidence ready & plus the ongoing relationship evidence if that is required for the embassy in your country. That way you have everything filled out.

This was a response I read in another thread asking if you are over the 125%:

I already have my letter from my employer and tax returns gathered.

The letter from employer and recent tax return will suffice even. Bank letter not required, so you should be fine.

The I-134 instructions are vague and don't really apply to a visa with immigrant intent. Since the K-1 is processed through the immigrant visa units of the consulates, they tend to go by the I-864 guidelines, even when using the I-134. This is also because you will need the I-864 not long after obtaining the K-1, after you are married and filing for AOS. Check your consulate's instructions. If they do not ask for a bank letter/statements specifically, then they are not required. They are usually used for someone that is self-employed, someone using assets, or someone that needs to prove non-taxable income.

You can read through the whole section on public charge in the FAM, but here is an excerpt on the use of the I-134 geared towards a K-1 applicant>

https://fam.state.go...9FAM030208.html

(Previous Location: 9 FAM 40.41 N5.6-3 CT:VISA-1995; 06-06-2013)

(3) Use of Form I-134:

...

(e) To substantiate the information regarding income and resources, the sponsor should attach to the affidavit a copy of the latest Federal income tax return filed prior to the signing of the Form I-134, including all supporting schedules. If you determine that the tax return and/or additional evidence in the file do not establish the sponsor's financial ability to carry out the commitment toward the immigrant for what might be an indefinite period of time, or there is a specific reason (other than the passage of time) to question the veracity of the income stated on the Form I-134 or the accompanying document(s), you should request additional evidence (i.e., statement from an employer showing the sponsor's salary and the length and permanency of employment, recent pay statements, or other financial data).

Most consulates ask for them. See the excerpt from the FAM above. Your consulate might not insist, but their instructions state they are preferable. It is ok if your most recent taxes were filed with your ex. Show the 1040 and your W-2 to show your individual income from the joint return.

6. EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT: Any evidence from your American spouse/fiancé(e) which will show the consular officer that you and members of your family who will accompany you will not become public charges while in the United States. Documentation regarding financial support can be in any form – preferably one year of tax returns, W-2s, bank statements, earning statements, letters from employers. PRESENTING ONLY THE AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT I-134 FORM IS NOT SUFFICIENT. The I-864 form is not required for a fiancé(e) visa.

Thank you, appreciate your help.

How do you know that your case has been received by the NVC? I've been waiting almost 3 weeks. My Noa was on the 3rd.

[ADT 17]

My friends had NVC numbers already, their NOA2 is Oct 7th

it usually takes 10 business days to get NVC #, and 5 days to transit to embassy.

I seen most of VJ members Vietnam received their NVC numbers within 2 weeks

I called today about an hour ago, the lady checked and said mine is approved on 11th, but not yet receive

I will call back Friday too see any luck

Just remember, its all random like USCIS, most people got their quick others really slow

Did they have it send from the California service center or the Texas one? I have no idea why mine is taking so long, but I'm getting worried.

[ADT 17]

California service....I saw most of people from Vietnam took only lastest 15 days to get their case numbers..

That is why I started call today

[ADT 17]

Usually it takes 5 to 7 days for NVC to receive, but depends on how quick that worker enter in systems...Its random like USCIS .....no idea who will get first..

I saw some people got their 4 weeks later...That freak me out..

Yeah... when I called today she said that nothing "pulled up". I don't know if that means they recieved it and maybe no one put it in yet or assigned it? I don't think they know if it comes in until it has a case number, right? I'm hoping for this Friday too :/
