April 2018 NOA2 ----> NVC

[Louize 118]

Hello, everyone! I wanted to share our experience with this journey. 

 

NOA1: October 20, 2017

NOA2: April 23, 2018

NVC Received: May 9, 2018

NVC Case #: May 10, 2018

Current Status: Still “AT NVC”

 

NOA 2 Notified by:

(1) Mail (hard copy) / I would suggest for you guys to download USPS Informed Delivery

 

No update thru text or e-mail, and new/old website and Case app tracker still shows "received" until now. 

 

Currently, my plan is to do my medical examination next week because here in my country it will take 2 days plus 1 to 2 days release date. I have also set my interview appointment on June 1 but my plan is to reschedule it once my medical is cleared. 

 

Wishing all of us to have more patience and don’t forget to pray because God is good all the time.

yes... I thought I need those just in case the consulate ask for them at least i have them.

ok 

. i'm in reading mode here now since things are more specific to each country now on the forum. i'm waiting to hear from the NVC and i really don't know how things are going to be once NVC sent so since so far it seems like i'm the only Togolese here i'll be just reading, doing research and reply or ask a question whenever it comes .

by the way one of my far worry is about the advance parole because i read that even with the AP you can still be denied at the POE when you travel back so if it's true, i'm not going to take the risk. so what if i have my first two years conditional green card ? can i travel with that without worries because yes i'll need to travel back in my country with my wife then for few days. any help will be so so so appreciated.

thx

No one, other than US citizens are guaranteed entry into the US.  However, people with approved AP or valid Green Cards very rarely have any problems reentering......enjoy your trip.

Once you have your GC you can travel. Its advisable that you don't stay out of the country more than 6 months at a time or you can be denied as that would be construed that you are adbanding your GC status and will be deported.

Hey everyone, I have just completed my DS-160 and am going to book my medical / interview now in London, U.K. My question is this.... on the main page of the appointment service website it says: ''Please select the condition that best applied to you''

 

So do I select ''I have completed the U.S Nonimmigrant visa application form (DS160) and need to apply for a visa'' 

 

or

 

''I need to apply for a K (Fiance/Spouce/Child) Visa. ??

 

Also... do I just call knightbridge to arrange my medical or do I need to book it online?

 

Many thanks,

 

Todd.

Thank you, It also asks for my DS160 number, is the confirmation number on the DS160? do you know how I book my medical? Do I just call up and book it or do I do it online?

Attended my medical in London today, was very quick and everyone was so friendly! When I got back home I received a packet with our original petition that was photo copied and a letter about my rights for the USA. 

Is this packet 3 or 4 or just something totally different? This was included too.

For your interview go here

As for your DS160 print it out and at the top right it should have a barcode and under that is a set of numbers / letters, this is your DS160 number
