MARCH 2020 K-1 NOA2 to NVC to Embassy

[Greenbaum 12,258]

This thread was created for those who are waiting for their NOA2 K-1 case assignment from NVC and then tracking your case on wards to your Embassy.  Contained in the PDF below are many tips, tricks and hacks to help you along the way.

 

These are items that everyone asks for, so I thought I just post a PDF of them here for you to refer to when it's necessary. If you are new to this thread please read as these are most asked questions multiple times.

I read the Greenbaum PDF File in the first post and I found the answer to be 30 days to NVC and 1-2 weeks assigning a case number. There are some great tips, tricks and hacks in that file. The best part is that it's free. Grab a copy and read over it for everything that could ask about this stage of the process written up with attention to detail.

Here is a thread that had some discussion about the Embassy procedure there in Ireland.

https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/673780-dublin-embassy-how-long-after-submitting-a-notice-of-readiness-were-you-contacted/

 

The embassy only interviews once a month.

 

If you find anything not up to date or the information is wrong, please share your findings. Please compare the date of the P3 of mine with the date from your copy, once you receive yours from your embassy. Keep in mind that I try and be factual with my information, but I can't do it on my own and that's where you come in and can give back to the community those who come behind you. Without others ahead of you I would not be able to provide this to you.  I can only share factual information if folks like you continue to be my eyes and ears for your embassy. I wish you much success in your visa journey.

You need to learn to use two means in which to contact someone. One is to use the "quote" button below the post you want to reply to and the individual who you are replying to will be contacted as well as a quote of what you are reply to. See what I did above with yours. I quoted you and now you have been notified and you know what I am responding to.

 

Second way is to use the "@" sign. When you want to send a message to someone and you have nothing to quote then use @Greenbaum and you will see a pop up box appear below where you are typing giving you choices. Select the individual you want to reply to and if you did it right then it should turn blue like mine is above. Now I will be notified that someone want to tell me something.

That's not odd at all. Many of the systems do not show they same results. To get through this jungle of a mess you just have to learn which is the one that is closes to telling the actual status or result. My guess is if it says you are getting an RFE then I would tend to believe it before the other that has no results. RFE's can be a good thing. To be in my experience most who answer the RFE are approved. So it's my bet your case and the RFE is received, and you are one of the good guys (are you wearing your "white cowboy hat"  then you must can expect an approval. Just a hiccup in the process. You'll get it sorted out.

Whoa. I didn't say "overload". Those are your words. I said to take it easy. These people are trained to interrupt any document that you present for any unintentional information contained within. When they find something, and that maybe why they are on this fishing trip with your RFE, they will dig deeper. Embassy is the same way. These are experts, not just clerks your dealing with.

 

The requirement for the letter is supposed to be one from you and one from her. You never stated you had sent one, only that she needed to complete and submit one for herself. Big difference. Sometimes letters get lost and therefore it is not uncommon for us to see others, many others, receive a similar RFE for letters of intent. Just saying.

Bolded: The letter of intent must be for both of you. So either 1 letter signed by both of you or (preferably, IMHO) 2 separate, signed letters. Her intending to marry you alone is insufficient.

 

Underlined: This would be best addressed with a couple items as I am not sure from the wording if they are referring to your initial meeting or meeting in person:

1) State how you initially met via xyz.com. Provide evidence that they are not an IMB. This is typically via a copy of the site's TOS.

2) Provide information on how you met in person at least once within the 2 years prior to filing the I-129F. I'm not sure what you already sent, so this list may not be that helpful, but primary items would be things like passport stamps. Then receipts, invoices, event tickets, etc. showing the date and location. Last would be things like pictures.

Panel Physicians are qualified by the CDC to conduct the examination, along with following the CDC"s TB screening procedures. They won't accept a finding obtained elsewhere...it's just too prone to corruption (i.e. in the Philippines, you can likely find a dr/facility to provide a negative reading pretty easily IMO).
