    what comes after NOA2

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    ^_^ Glad to help.

    You will receive the "official" NVC letter stating your case number.

    Your Fiance, will receive two letters like I said.

    The first one will have a letter saying pretty much they received the package (they send this literally the day your NVC changes to ready). It has a page with instructions (which I translated it and copied to the Consulate information page) and a brochure about domestic violence (and the rights immigrants have).

    The second one includes all of the above, but the letter they send, actually has an interview date. (this was dated 4 days after the first letter)

    If you email the embassy asking for the interview date (which they probably already have) they will email you everything included in the second package. Like I said before you can just print the letter from the email and take it to the medical. Take into consideration they take FOREVER to arrive by Serpost (peruvian mail). You will also get a copy of both letters... though again, it takes even longer for you to get it.

    -------------------------------

    To email the embassy:

    Email: limaiv@state.gov

    Subject: IV Inquiry - LMAxxxxxxxxxx (case number) - (You fiance's last names)

    This is what I wrotE: To whom it may concern;

    I have come to notice that our Case Status changed to ready today (Friday, December 27th, 2013) on the CEAC website (https://ceac.state.gov). I was wondering if it was possible for you to send us an electronic version of the forms and requirements we will need for the interview; as well as the interview date.

    Thank you,

    -------------------------------

    If you need anything else, let me know :)

    Thank you SO much! You are so helpful! :goofy:

    what comes after NOA2

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Hey! ^_^

    I know it can be confusing.... Here are PERU specifics;

    After you receive NOA2, your case will be sent to the NVC (may take a while, you can call them 2-3 weeks after your NOA2 and maybe get your case number). Of course you can always just wait for the letter they send you (petitioner) with the case file. I would strongly suggest calling though, you give them your USCIS receipt number and they will tell you if an NVC case number has been assigned. (Will begin with the letters LMA)

    All the NVC does is assign a case number and send your file to the embassy in Lima from the day it arrives it takes them 2-3 days to ship it to the embassy). About a week later your file will arrive at the embassy.

    Here you have two options;

    1. Wait patiently until your fiance receives a letter with instruction.

    2. As soon as the case status at the NVC website shows it has arrived you can e-mail them asking for your interview date.

    Now every embassy has different procedures, Some have a packet 3 (papers you send before going) and a packet 4 (papers you take with you on the interview date.

    Lima only has ONE packet (3), every paperwork your fiance gets, he will take with him to the interview.

    As soon as you have your interview date, schedule a medical appointment, there are only 2 doctors who can preform this evaluation in Lima. Results take around 2 weeks, so schedule appropriately.

    Dr. Sandro Corigliano

    Address: Clínica Anglo Americana | Av. Alfredo Salazar 350, San Isidro

    Telephone: 222-2192, 616-8900 x1450, 1451 & 1458

    Office hours: Tuesday & Thursday, from 8:30am to 12pm; Monday & Friday, from 3pm to 6pm

    Dra. Viviana Mélinchon

    Address: Av. Benavides N 1579, Of. 804, Miraflores, Lima

    Telephone: 447-3654 y 981-036-823

    I went to the first one, and I would suggest him, he was nice. I have heard the female doctor is rude.

    Anyway, in this link ( http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Peru&cty=Lima ) are the list of documents she will need to take with him the day of the interview.

    In total your fiance will receive 2 letters. They pretty much say the same thing.... Just keep in mind you will need to take the second one to the medical interview (or if you email the embassy you can just print the one they send you, since the mail in Peru takes for ever!).

    Well, I think that's most of it. If you have any questions feel free to inbox me. :D!

    Thank you SO much! This is so helpful! I talked to the NVC last night, they sent our case to Lima and gave me the case number :)

    What are the two letters that the embassy sends? Also, does the NVC send me anything? They told me (petitioner) that I would also receive instructions in the mail but I hadn't heard of this.

    Thank you again!!

    i was wondering if anyone knew about how to receive your case number from NVC? I got my NOA2 on May 15...I called NVC yesterday and they have it, but the lady was very short and rude with me...she said it would take 30 days to process and another 10 before I got a letter in the mail with instructions. I thought the letter was supposed to be sent to the beneficiary.. anyone know about this?

    Yes, well my fiance told me if the USCIS approve our cases they gonna send an email or txt message but i really dont know is that accurate or not... I just checked 3 times the USCIS website since they accepted our case ...

    Yes, if you signed up for the email and text alerts then you should get both when your case is updated...i still check the website though..

    I-134 QUESTION

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    From what I've seen reading around, it seems like the consulate officers are given a lot of leeway on what they will or won't consider sufficient. It's better to go to the interview with a bunch of documents that you don't need, than to be delayed getting your K1 because you didn't bring the right thing.

    Thanks for the advice, my only concern is that both last year and this upcoming year my parents claimed as dependents so I dont have my own separate tax returns...do you think that matters?

    I-134 QUESTION

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    HI, i have a question regarding the affidavit of support...i've read many forums that say you need your last 3 years tax returns, or your last 1 year tax return,..and some say you dont need them at all until you file the I-864...According to USCIS on the I-134 instructions it indicates this:

    Supporting Evidence

    As the sponsor, you must show you have sufficient income or financial resources to assure that the alien you are sponsoring will not become a public charge while in the United States.

    Evidence should consist of copies of any of the documents listed below that apply to your situation.

    Failure to provide evidence of sufficient income or financial resources may result in the denial of the alien's application for a visa or his or her removal from the United States.

    Submit in duplicate evidence of income and resources, as appropriate:

    A. Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial institutions with deposits, identifying the following details regarding the account:

    1. Date account opened;
    2. Total amount deposited for the past year; and 3. Present balance.

    B. Statement(s) from your employer on business stationery showing:

    1. Date and nature of employment;
    2. Salary paid; and
    3. Whether the position is temporary or permanent.

    C. If self-employed:
    1. Copy of last income tax return filed; or 2. Report of commercial rating concern.

    D. List containing serial numbers and denominations of bonds and name of record owner(s).

    According to this....I dont even need my tax returns at all because I am not self-employed. Did anyone not submit their tax returns with their I-134 form?

    thanks!!

    tax returns

    I am in the same boat and wondering the same thing!! I was claimed as a dependent (I was an unemployed student) for the past few years and will only have one year of tax returns. I have read in some places that you only need one, but I've read in other places that they may request for up to three years. Fingers crossed..

    Yeah..I was wondering too..However, on the step-by-step guide on VJ it only indicates the following:

    (A) Statement from an officer of the bank/financial institution with your deposits, identifying the following: 1. date account opened; 2. total amount deposited for the past year; 3. present balance

    (B) Statement(s) from your employer on business stationary showing: 1. Date and nature of employment; 2. salary paid; 3. whether position is temporary or permanent (also include copies of your last two pay stubs and your previous W-2 for the associated employer if available)

    © If Self Employed: 1. Copy of last income tax return filed (or IRS transcripts); or 2. report of commercial rating concern

    (D) List containing serial numbers and denominations of bonds and name of record owner(s).

    If im not self-employed, Do I still need my tax returns?

    identity theft and visa application

    It sounds like your fiance is the victim rather than the offender in this case. I think he should be ok, specially if nothing negative will be on his records. If a question ever comes up during the visa process that will make him mention this case, either when you are completing forms or at the interview, then having supporting documentation is always a good idea. From what the judge and lawyer told your fiance, that should be no problem. Good luck!

    Thanks so much for your input!

    Hi everyone! I Just had a question about the copies of the past tax returns that are required. My past 3 years of tax returns were filed with my parents as they claimed me as a dependent. Do I still need to provide these or is my proof of income enough? Has anyone had experience with this?

    Thanks!
