NVC sent case to Naples, Italy. Confused about next steps

[JMK_IT 134]

Hello all, 
first of all, thank you for all the content provided on this platform. We would have needed a lawyer if it wasn't for this. 
We are in the middle of the K1 Visa process, and we are at a step where I'm quite confused about what documents to gather, and when. 

 

This morning my fiancé, the petitioner, received an email from NVC with an attachment addressed to me, the beneficiary, communicating that NVC received the approved I-129F petition and that it will now forward it to the US Embassy in Naples, Italy. 
The notification also provides the Case Number and the USCIS receipt number.

 

Following the instructions on http://nvc.state.gov/K1, I will soon start gathering the following documentation:
- FORM DS-160

- The police certificates related to my country (Italy), which are two, the Certificato carichi pendenti and Casellario giudiziale
- Vaccination records
- Evidence of relationship (photos, emails, travel tickets, various receipts, conversation screenshots and whatnot)
- Passport and 2x2 photographs 
- My fiancé is completing the Affidavit of Support, Form I-134, and he's also gathering statements from his bank, his employer, and tax documents

Now, my question is: how do I know if that's all I need or if there's more? Will the Naples Embassy get in touch with me and give me time to provide everything I need? Will I receive more detailed information or will I just be notified about the interview date?
I checked on the Naples Embassy page through the "Review Additional U.S. Embassy/Consulate-Specific Instructions" link provided by the travel.state.gov page, but the page doesn't seem to provide any specifics. 

I apologize if my questions sound trivial, I just want to make sure we're doing everything right. 
Thank you very much.

Follow the instructions provided. The list of information/documents you've referenced so far appear to be the common pieces of information they request at this point. The only other things that could be added would be any additional evidence supporting your ongoing relationship between now and when you guys first petitioned (such as any photos or travel logs if either of you have visited since then, chat/email/text message logs, call logs, etc.), or any other financial information on the petitioner's side that may be beneficial in accompanying the Affidavit of Support. I've heard of recommendations such as last 30-60 days of bank statements, tax documents, and income/employment verification, which it looks like you guys are already planning for.

 

There are no hidden requirements - just make sure you read through everything you receive and follow any instructions given. It's also a good idea to make copies of all notices you receive (we've made copies of our NOA1, NOA2, and the letter/email from the NVC). From what I've read in some other's interview reviews, most of the extra information brought in isn't even looked at, but I don't fancy risking the one piece of information they may ask for or ask about and could cause any sort of delay. Also just gives you peace of mind going in knowing you're well prepared for anything that may come up or be asked of you.

 

Best of luck to you!

You may have not actually got to the full info for Naples... 

 

Try this link.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/list-of-posts-k1-k3-visas.html

 

Scroll down and click on the blue link for Naples.... should open up a PDF,  which will really help 

 

That's exactly what I tried, but this is what shows after clicking on the blue link for Naples, hence my doubts:

 

 

I'll wait to receive packet 3 to make sure I got everything right.

Thank you for your answer.

Thank you very much, I'll add any possible additional document just to be sure. Better be safe than sorry! :)

Hi, I've seen you'll go to Naples embassy... I've heard of packet 3, but I don't think we will receive it in any way, I think the only thing they do it's have it on line and you can download it (it's also not very well organized, imagine that!)

 

I have an additional question. I've seen on the Naples Embassy Page here on VJ ( http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Italy&cty=Naples ) that is needed to print, sign and fax back an Applicant Statement...what is that? where do I find it? I'm confused!!!

Hi, I'm Italian too and I'm currently going through the same procedure/problem!

It's just not clear, i tried in any possible way to get in touch iwth Naples Embassy, but the best luck I had was to get to talk to a real person that told me they don't talk to people about visas.

About WHEN to collect documents, I can tell you by my experience that gathering documents too soon it's a bad idea...I'm going through gathering them all again because apparently in Italy even a birth certificate expires in 6 months (no idea how my date of birth or parents have changed in the past 6 months!!!), same for majority of documents, as police certificates etc.

But since your case already left NVC you can/must start now, since for a few things it may not be very easy or quick to get them.

About the embassy giving you time, no. They don't care and they don't get in touch with you.

It's up to you to schedule the interview just when you have everything ready to go. (which is where I am at right now)

So they don't notifie about the interview date, it's basically up to you to remember your NOA2 has an expiration date and it's your job to go on line and book the date you think it's good for you (remember to go throu IMMIGRATION VISA, it took me forever to figure out the way to book the interview).

So basically you can follow what the packet 3 on line says, what people on VJ tell you to do, I'm assuming being paranoid and bring more of everything and make 3 copies of each document may be a good idea.

Hope I'll be having an interview soo and I can help better Sorry for negativity, but I'M STRESSING OUUUUT!

I believe the applicant’s statement refers to the letter of intent that both you and your fiancé should complete prior the interview, communicating your intention to marry within 90 days upon entering in the United States. 

I will double check to make sure. There’s no other “statement” we should write, so I’m pretty certain it’s that. 

 

And whoa, thank you for the information. I wasn’t expecting so much inefficiency, although it makes sense. 

Your answer confirmed my worst doubts. 

 

Would you mind if I messaged you privately?

Hi! I'm also going to go through Naples! Can you guys @Fiammetta @ababsurd possibly post a summary of how things went after NVC? As you know there's like 0 info on the naples consulate! What was the "applicants statement" and do you just book your interview online immediately after faxing them the DS-160 and the Applicant's statement?

Actually the only time I heard about an Applicant statement and faxing something was on this forum, Naples embassy didn’t send me anything about that.

you can book the interview on line after Naples embassy has your file ready

I'm trying to download the instructions in italian for the K1 visa from the link you posted, but it gives me an error. Is it only my computer or everyone is experiencing that?

Couldn't say, have you tried a different browser? I'm on my phone at the moment so I can't verify.

Anyway, the Consulate generally attaches Packet3 in the email they send to to the petitioner after receiving the case from NVC. 
OR They send it to petitioners/beneficiaries who request it by email in case they didn't receive it. 
I was just recently messaged by a K1 Petitioner going through Naples, who was worried for not getting any email.
I suggested to write to the Consulate, who immediately sent it to her.
You will get it anyway, don't worry   Just wait for them to receive your petition and then see what happens.
