Thank you for all your help, @Greenbaum.

In the "Travel" section of the DS-160 where it asks to list visits to the US, what is your recommendation as to how far back we should start to list trips?

I input everything from 2017 up until now; would that suffice or should I go as far as the I-94 allows me to?

It's best to list ALL trips even those that may not be on your I-94. Add an addendum if needed. Better to let them decided then you.

Is there a P3 for Japan?

Hi everyone! Noa2 approved February 6th, 2020.  Will I need my fiance's Naturalization certificate in original at the interview in Montreal? We sent the copy when applied for petition. 

 I am confused. Some places it says i wont need the original of this document at the interview. Can someone guide me? Thank you

The normal rule of thumb is that the petitioner submits copies for the initial application and originals for the interview where asked for. See the P3 for specific answers for your embassy. Beneficiary submits original and one copy to guarantee that you get the original at the interview.

Average wait time from when embassy receives the application is 6-8 weeks.  Average time to be sent to Ghanaian embassy from NVC is 1 month.  Therefore applicants should expect 3 months from NVC till receiving the P3.  Interview slots are very limited for this embassy, so it is advised for applicants that believe that they are a "strong applicant" to proactively schedule their interview date three months out to secure a date and time.

NOA2 on Feb. 7th.  I think we already have all documents ready, just waiting for time to schedule Medical/Interview now.  I'll also check out the Seoul embassy threads.

I have already looked at P3 information somewhere for Sydney.. But I don't have it right now.

 

I do have a sponsorship question but I might make my own thread for that as I don't want to derail. Although what is the average time I should wait until my fiance starts to call to get our number? 3 weeks?
