@geowrian does your files get returned to you after your interview.

Or returned at POE?

Which forms exactly? From the I-129F? Not usually...the only original forms they should have from the I-129F are the USCIS forms, letters of intent, etc. The rest should be copies. The supporting evidence taken to the interview should be returned, I believe (I don't believe they ever collect it...just look at it).

 

It may vary from embassy to embassy in terms of what they keep or return, though.

Was this submitted with Packet 3? I'm not entirely sure where you would have been able to submit these (although having a copy of them available for the interview in case they were lost in transit is suggested)?

It has been a while again since I was here the last time. Congratulations to all those newly-issued visas and a lot of energy to those still waiting. 

Meanwhile, I have arrived safely at my new home, and currently, we are busy with last minute wedding preps. Being her permanently hasn't fully sunk in yet though, and when I wake up, I usually still frantically try to calculate how many days I have left as I used to do when I was visiting. Having no return date makes the time together so much more relaxing. 

Good luck to everybody! And again, thank you all for having helped me "survive" the agonizing half year leading up to my moving here. I am finally home.

My fiancé is coming home to me!!!! Is there anything he needs to know before having a short layover in Germany?  Will he run into any problems with his K1 on his short stay there? He's from Zimbabwe but has the visa in his passport and his port of entry packet packed away in his carry on.

How long does it take for the Embassy to receive your package from the NVC? We have been waiting since the 17 May. Still shows in transit on CEAC. Plus I already received the letter from the NVC saying they sent it. In the letter it says it may take several weeks to arrive in Zimbabwe?? I called the NVC and they don't have any information either... trying to be patient but it's hard :(

my fiance just sent the packet 3 email, he had to send it 3 times he sent it 3 times because the first time he put our receipt number instead of the barcode number, ans then fhe screen shot was illegible-he doesnt have a printer and the site wouldnt send the email of the confirmation to him or me so he just took a screen shot of it, are either of those going to be a problem?

 

how long does it take to get packet 4?
