I couldn't take it anymore and called NVC....repeatedly, since they kept telling me to call back before I even got to talk to a human being. They sent our case to Jo'burg on the 13th!! One less thing to worry about in the next week. Now for the bar exam on the 24th and the 25th. I swear...after that is gone, all the stress of the last few months will be a memory and it will feel like i'm on vacation even tho I won't be going anywhere!

NOA2 CRIS Email!

We got our CRIS email today stated they put our NOA2 in the mail. How soon can I expect it and how soon can I expect NVC

1.wait for NOA2 in mail

2. NOA2 goes to NVC

3. FBI name check

4. NOA2 sends petition to embassy

5. Embassy sends pack to fiance

6. Fiance gets everything and then sends it back to Embassy

7. Embassy sends letter with appointment date

8. Appointment

Right?

OOOO. Now what do I do? The only thing I need to do send to him is the affidavit of support right, and supporting evidence of being together? What else? I'll be there with him at the interview, but what should I get together now?
