Hi, 

 

No, you would need to call the Doctors office in Sandton. After completing the information supplied to you by above user. The doctors office prioritize immigration cases. But follow the information from the post above and follow the steps, give them a call and book. They're really helpful and it's pretty seamless.

I got an email from Nvc for my interview

[Teri.G 0]

Hi there. 

 

I was was wondering how long it took to receive your unabridged birth certificate from home affairs? I have my noa2 and still don’t have my both certificate

[Nkululeko 2]

Anyway from 3-6 weeks. I got mine after 3 weeks. Some get it sooner, some later. I would check in at the office you applied after 3 weeks.

[Daymellow 7]

Hi, I was wondering which affidavit of support form you completed. 

On the website for the general countries it says I-134 but on the Johannesburg one it says I-864 on the pre-interview checklist.

So I'm a bit confused.

 

[Nkululeko 2]

The I-134 for sure! The difference between the forms is based on the visa application, the I-134 is for temporary visa’s like the b1/B2, or in this case the k1(90 days to marry).  The I-864 is for permanent residence applications. Remember that prior to arriving at your port of entry, you will be approved to marry within 90 days, this is a temporary visa granting permission to marry, it technically expires after 90 days. After marriage you submit AOS documents to the USCIS, which is why you’re not aloud to leave the US during that time as you technically don’t have a ‘legal status’ until you’re approved for your marriage green card. Once married you’ll apply for the marriage green card which will be a permanent visa category application and for that you will require the I-864 affidavit of support! Hope this helps!
