i know its been posted here several times but i cant seem to find it anywhere..

     So does anybody hav the email address for the NVC so i can see if they have recieved our K1 packet?

also its been 14days since our NOA2 about how many days should we give them before enquireing?

     our interview embassy is in Thailand an im wondering if their is anybody else here on this thread that will be interviewing there? 

     

Put in a public inquiry:

 

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html

 

In my opinion, it’s a little early to start putting in public inquiries. I waited 30 days before I started sending mine and then sent a new one after I received the answer which was typically that they have it and are waiting to input the data. It took around 90 days for us before  NVC sent it to our embassy.

@Bh_sarah Which questions were you asked and what documents did they need? Congrats by the way 🍻

Thank you!
I wrote a review with my questions, you can check it on my timeline.
In Brazil they request: passport, DS-160, passport picture, beneficiary birth certificate, police certificates (state, federal and international if applicable), medical exam/vaccine sheet, sworn statement (specific to Brazil, kinda like a intent to marry letter), I-134, US citizen passport copy and tax transcripts. No relationship proof was requested.

@Darko-Emily

I see you had your interview and was approved! Congratulations!
I have a friend whose Russian fiancé is interviewing in Belgrade. Any tips on what documents were required to show at the interview? Did you need to wait for P3, had to submit any documents beforehand?
You can DM me if you like as well. Thank you!

Is the Russian beneficiary a resident of Serbia?  Many VJ members in the RUB regional forum are desperately looking for US consulates that may accept case transfer for their Russian beneficiaries, so your friend's case might be helpful to them.

Yeah, the fiancé got a resident permit from Serbia, they're on NVC stage now and sent it to them requesting the case transfer. I think they're still waiting for the acceptance of the transfer/case number.

Thanks for the info. Any idea how long it’s been like this? We just started checking Friday. Might as well start writing representatives again. 

Tends to take 2 weeks to find the appointment but also requires that you keep looking for appointments. 
 

We found our appointment just last night.

You might be thinking about an invoice number...which you will not receive.  Those are for immigrant cases only.
