Great! See? You were worrying about nothing. A little bit of patience takes you a long way.

Good luck!

Yes I worried a little but I was sure the embassy would respond me quickly, they always respond on the same day of the day after!

On* the day after

Ok thank you Didopage, I will try to call for the 3rd time if the embassy does not respoond to my email.

The embassy responded me and I finally got mt case number!

Thank you guys for your help

Call 603-334-0700 press 1 for english, then 5 to speak to an operator.

Hours: Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 12:00 PM (EST). Best time to call is 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM to 12:00 PM

If you call the DOS, you will need your NVC case number in order for them to give you some updates.

Really, it should be pretty easy to have the PRS number. Once you have it, send back your packet 3 and wait. The if you want some update about your case, best will be to call the DOS (don't try to contact the embassy, it will quite a headache... They don't answer really often, and call be frustrating on the phone). The DOS will be able to give you quickly the last update on your case (packet 3 sent, packet 4 sent, interview date scheduled).

Ok thank you Didopage, I will try to call for the 3rd time if the embassy does not respoond to my email.

And yep Dan tried to call NVC which close at 12am east hour but never answered, and I called too earlier AND we tried DOS which was closed earlier, (just giving more details because yea I sounded a little dumb haha)

Again, the NVC case number is on the NVC letter your fiancé should have received. If he didn't, I told you to call NVC (during their business hours for sure).

For future questions, please ask on the French American couples topic, you will have quick and precise answers (you are at a stage where the process is highly country-specific).

Ok, but he did not receive a letter or email, him and I called NVC but the guy was confusing me, and when Dan called, they never responded. But, as I have been told earlier, the embassy should have received news from NVC because I received the packet 3, so they may know my case number, I don't know ? I just try many solutions because NVC is hard to catch :/

Thank you for the "french/american couples" link Didopage

haha you've read in my mind, I am waiting for the response of my friend to go to theater, otherwise I will think and think again !

Thank you again for responding and helping me!

Ok, I just checked my papers and there's no case number on it. I will email them.

Yes I received the packet 3 by mail, I will look for the number right now. Otherwise I will email them.

For my birth date, I don't know exactly what the guy said, he talked like a robot, I will check with my embassy too.

THANK YOU Celeste !!!

the DOS was closed, it opens on business days/hours so we will try on monday. But if my embassy sent me a packet 3, it means that I already have a case number, doesnt it ?

thank you very much,I did not know this phone number, I will have my fiancé calling them.

Hi everybody,

The embassy of Paris sent me the packet3, 3 weeks ago...but me and my fiancé do not know what is our case number so i can't send it back to the embassy, is it normal that i already have the packet 3 instructions, before getting the case number ?

I tried to call them and they told me to send an e-mail to prove my birth date because e did not found my case, I am very confused.

I sent an email and did not receive a response yet.

What do you think about that ? Isn't it weird ?

Thanks

thank....you didopage !!

Thank you guys. And something else, in the "notification of applicant readiness" what is the number case ?

Hi people,

In the DS-230 part I, it asks "in what occupation do you intend to work in the usa ?"

The problem is, I am not sure about what I will do even if I have ideas.

What should I write ?

Thank you very much

If I were you, just in case, even though it shouldn't be a problem, I would have someone ready to co-sponsor; just to be on the same side.

In theory, you won't need it, but it wouldn't hurt to be prepared.

Best wishes

I have thought about it....thank you

One question though... is the current income of the petitioner cutting it too close? Is it barely over the poverty line or a comfortable number over it?

Its not a lot more...

It shouldn't be

Ok ! thanks

Here's the sample VJ form http://www.visajourney.com/examples/Form-I-134.pdf

This sample was done as if the petitioner has an annual income that exceeds the poverty line + real state.

Thank you. I have already seen this paper and i was wondering if you exceed the poverty line but you don't have a lot of savings, is it a problem ?

Your totally confusing yourself my dear.

As long that you MET the poverty guidelines requirements no need to worry

Just leave those BLANK

usually other applicant/petitioner fill up that part if they want to use some short of asset to able to meet the income guidelines.

goodluck

Haha ok, phew, im worrying too much, thank you very much

Hi friends,

We know that the petitioner needs at least $18000 (I don't remember how much exactly), to support the beneficiary.

But in the affidavit of support, there are some points that freak me out...they ask about the savings, the ability of deposit a bond, moreover I know they need the 6 last salary papers.. so for me, it means that even if the petitioner has enough to support the beneficiary, he could be refused because he does not have enough savings ? They don't mention the limit of money.

What do you think ?

Thank you very much.

I dont think they allow a service request to go in before the 5 months and 2 months ago you were at 3 months. As it is a lot of people get denied putting in that request sad but true. I would try calling them 2morro and push for a service request.

As far as a "Expedite" I believe those are for very few cases depending on your circumstance. I'd do a search on it to get a better view on that.

Good Luck on your Process!! I know we all want that NOA2 to get things moving a long. They told me i should hear something by September 21. I sure hope it's a decision if not well i'm telling myself at least i tried.

Thank you very much for your response. Good luck again, I hope we will get it soon.

From what I understand, It means that the case is basically pushed to the front of the pile. However, you have to have a VERY good reason to ask for your case to be expedited. They told me that there had to be an extreme medical issue, a natural disaster in the alien fiance(e)'s country, military, or extreme poverty/refuge country.

Thank you very much, it makes sense

Hi ! my noa1 is april 12th, almost like yours. My fiancé called them 2 month ago and they told him we should hear something by September 10th (yep, yesterday) but of course nothing. I don't know if he put in a request though but don't think so, I have to ask my fiancé if he got a confirmation number...

I was also wondering what does "expedite" means in the visa process ? I heard it a lot but I am confused.

Thank you and good luck !!

PS: I forgot to answer your question: I tried to do an e-request but there is no option to put a request, only one for typographical errors!

maybe it will work tomorrow because my noa1 was april 12th and I have to wait the 12th of september, I will let you know.

Thank you! I called USCIS just awhile ago and i did get my confirmation number. The lady told me I should hear something by September 21st, I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one.... I just also noticed you can put in a request on the USCIS website under e-request..... I wonder if that's the same thing? Well like i said, even if nothing gets done... at least i know i tried right?

Pretty good answer of what happens. Also when you see something completely out of sync it could be a military expedite.

Hi! I always see the word "expedite" but I don't understand what it means in the visa process, what does it mean ?
