No problem, Sis. I'm right at your service.

Anything you want.

 

Now, let's start counting days for USCIS to send your case to NVC. Give it 14 days to call NVC for the case #.

 

My case took 20 days to get to NVC. I got the case # the same day (after 3 hrs) they received it.

 

After 3 days, it left NVC and after 2 dats, it was Ready (EMBASSY received it). 

 

So, it took my case 6 days (4 Business Days) from NVC Received (At NVC) to Ready (At Embassy).

 

Now, you can do the following as you wait for NVC #;

 

1) Download and start filling Affidavit of Support Form (I-134) and try to get the Supportimg Documents for it.

2) You can start filling the DS-160 Online Form, save it but don't sign &  submit it yet.

3) Start compiling Evidence of Relationship.

 

*Make Screenshots from the App (e.g., Whatsapp). Have 3-4 screenshots from each month and arrange them 6 screenshots per page of MS Word. Gather Screenshots of Chat, Call, Facetime showing your phone numbers (you and your Fiancé).

 

* Pictures, from 6-30 of you two together, including family. DON'T INCLUDE PICTURES OF TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE!!

 

*Boarding Passes (If you wish)

 

4) Your Fiancé should get ready with his Passport, Birth Certificate.

Which Country?

Which Rmbassy?

You need to update your Timeline, as I believe there are many people in this Forum from your country.

I'm from Canada and the embassy is in Montreal, I thought I did have that on my timeline but I can make sure it gets updated! I have been trying to go through and see if there is anyone with the same embassy but I have not had much luck (it's a lot of posts to filter through but I am trying). If you know of anyone that does I would love to connect with them.

I've had him filling out the affidavit of support and he's gathered the supporting documents already. And I have filled out the ds160 just not submitted it yet . I have the evidence and everything ready to go as well. But to my understanding I can't really do more than that until I hear something right? Once I have the nvc number, I can submit the ds-160 and then do my medical and book the interview? Am I missing something in there? And To book the interview do I have to call the embassy ?

That was the most beautifully crafted post thank you for finding it! Discovered that apparently Montreal is notoriously slow for processing, so at least I know it won't be abnormal to be waiting for a bit.

He was approved! How long did it take to get your passport back? 

 

Wait he can get a SSN NUMBER ONCE HE GETS HERE?! Or is it after you get your green card?

Nice, I had my interview on a Wednesday and the passport was sent off to the courier on Thursday the following week. I could pick it up on Friday because I asked to collect it instead of having it delivered!

You need to wait 10 working days so the i94 is registered on the Social Security System, and thereafter you can apply for a SSN. You don't have to wait for a Green Card 😕 You will need the SSN before then anyway!

Congratulations!!!! 

Well hopefully you won't have been in as much of a rush as I was, (I already had a wedding date planned with plans in place!) I am getting married to my fiance this Saturday!!!! 

It's good to make sure you tie all loose ends up in the UK too? @UKUSABoston

This is a great post, even if it's a bit dated, just reminds you of all you don't think of!
