As soon as your case is sent to NVC you must log onto nvc.state.gov to select who to direct communications to, pay your $325 immigration fee, and pay the $120 AOS fee. This is a process of pay, wait for confirmation, pay again, wait for confirmation. You will complete your immigration form online and submit. The AOS must be completed at this time, then sent in to NVC along with your required documents and supporting documents. Your document cover sheets and invoices must be attached to documents. After NVC receives and reviews package they will inform you when your case is transferred to your consulate. They will give you interview date at this time. You will log onto the given website and select the delivery method for your visa and where to send it to. Get your medical before your interview (leave enough time to get results back).

 

Just make sure you have your documentation ready, and please be sure it is in the correct format to avoid an RFE, although they seem to be just flagging them these days and requesting you re-submit after your interview which will delay your visa. The process changes from time to time and it can vary depending on your consulate. They do a good job of informing you of the next steps. Just be sure your documentation is correct and ready when you are ready to submit.

Regardless of country and consulate, k1 and ir1/cr1 is extremely different. Please be careful when giving advice about a process you don’t know.

Follow post noa2 NVC topic people are waiting for the next steps after noa2 there, and even for NVC waiting timelines change all the time so you can get a better picture for recent timelines.

 

after NVC stage it will highly depend on your embassy. Overall your flow is correct but some parts may be different like when you can schedule interview or medical(just an example)

Remember that timelines are only general in nature and specific to country. It does make a huge difference as others have stated. Just be happy that the IMBRA implementation in 2006 - does not cause you the delays that others here experienced (8-10 months, on top of the normal processing). Best of luck to you.
