NOA2 Received... now what?

[Muqz&Nonz 0]

Finally, 6 days after being approved, I receive the hard copy of the NOA2 in the mail today. Can't begin to tell you how happy we both are. Of course this is just the beginning but at least we know the ball is rolling.

A few questions and some guidance needed from those who are ahead of me in this. Now that I have received the NOA2, what do I do? Do I stay put and wait for correspondence from NVC? In the Step-by-Step guide here in VJ.com, there is a list of things I need to do upon receipt of the NOA2. Do I have to do them now or once the application has reached the consulate, which in my case is Australia.

Second question, #2 in the guide talks about sending originals of documentary proof - I had sent copies of my passport, naturalization certificate, etc. Do I need to send those originals? Or is this referring to something specific?

The letter mentioned in #3 of the guide, I presume it would be the same as the statement of intent that I had submitted or somewhat different. Do we have any examples of them here?

Lastly, at what stage do I send the I-134 and the necessary documentation?

Any and all help you can offer me will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all in advance.

Now that you have been approved your case will be transferred to NVC, you can start calling them to see if they have rec'd your case or not.....they are pretty good about giving you case status and letting you know when it will be sent to the Consulate. As for getting things ready, it is a good idea to start gathering everything on that list together now. You must get everything together to send to your fiance prior to the interview. As for the original documents for the interview, they do require originals, or certified copies. Originals of the documents you can send are good, but certified copies of the rest of them will be fine, such as your passport, etc.... As for the Statement of Intent, they are just wanting another one, updated. So, just make another one just like you did the first one, and date it for now and send it with your package. Hope this helps

Not sure what isn't clear on the guides. But at any rate...!

No need to wait on the NVC to send your fiance anything, although common sense may dictate to wait a little while to send the affidavit of support so that it is dated closer to the interview time.

You need to send original proof of your citizenship for your fiance to have at the interview. If you were naturalized, then the logical proof would be your original natz certificate. Doesn't seem like sending your passport to your fiance would be a good idea.

The letter of intent example that is on this site says exactly what to do at the consulate stage. Download it and see what it says.

The example form you want is in the Example Forms link at the top of this page, just below the search box. Instructions are on it.
