I made my appointment before they switched the website so I'm not sure. But are you looking under immigrant visa? Sometimes the K1 is considered non-immigrant and sometimes it's immigrant. That's my only suggestion.

Our interview is Feb 17th, whoo hoo!!

Does it seem normal to have been at NVC for over 40 days without the case being sent to Nairobi? I have talked to them 2x and they just say that administrative work is being done to it before being sent. Just looking for some affirmation. Thanks!

I have a K1 visa in process at the Nairobi embassy as well. Our case was at NVC for about a month before they sent it to the embassy. I wouldn't worry too much just yet.

My fiance and I are ready to make the payment for our visa application. When I tried to generate the MRV receipt to take with for the payment, it will not allow me to do so. It just states "there are no available appointments at this time." Does that mean we can't even make the application fee payment? I'm assuming this means January is all booked, and we have to wait for the calendar to open up for February before we can make the payment and schedule the interview. Is this correct?

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

I am in a similar situation. My fiancé is Rwandan but he must go through the embassy in Kenya for his interview. I'm not exactly sure about the unabridged birth certificate. But I do know that for my fiancé he must do his medical in Kenya by a specific doctor that the embassy assigns. He will have to get a police record only from Rwanda, not Kenya. I assume the same would be for you. You only need police records for any country you've lived in over six months. You should check out the specifics for the embassy in South Africa to be sure. http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=South%20Africa&cty=Johannesburg

Good luck!

We haven't scheduled the interview yet. Our case status says ready, but I haven't received any email/notification from the embassy. Did you receive something? Since we have a case a number we're planning to submit our DS160 and arrange for the payment this week so we will be ready to schedule once they open availability in January. Do you think this is okay? Thanks!

What does the expiration date of an NOA2 exactly mean? Is that the date by which you have to apply (DS160 submitted), or is that the date by which you have to have an interview scheduled or completed? And what was your result, did you get a January interview set up? Thanks!

So it really won't help for me to list savings (which is only like $3,500) or my life insurance policy info?

I have a similar timeline so I can share with you my recent progress to compare. I got my NOA2 on November 6th and got my case number from NVC on November 24th. My case file hasn't left NVC yet.

Thanks for all your advice! This helps a lot.

For the I-134 form, since my income is above 125% of the poverty line, can I just list that? Is it necessary for me to put any other information (like savings or life insurance policy info)?

Thanks again!

Hi all,

My fiance and I received our NOA2 approval about three weeks ago. I'm getting ready to send him the paperwork he needs for his interview. But I need some advice for the affidavit of support. Currently, I make 238% of the poverty line so I am fine with the income requirement, however, I have only had this job for 8 months so it is not reflected on my last tax return (I was in graduate school last year so my income was low, about 98% of the poverty life for a family of 2). I do not have a joint sponsor. Will we be okay? Is it a good idea to supply a letter explaining my student status in the last year? Any advice?

Thank you!

Hi,

I'm currently at the NVC stage for a K1 visa and will eventually be interviewing in Nairobi. I got my NOA2 approval on November 6, but NVC hasn't received my file yet. You're not alone

Has anyone recently been approved for K1 process with a fiancé from Rwanda? I received my NOA2 on November 6th. Just hoping to find someone in a similar situation to compare. Thanks!

I just received my NOA2 yesterday. It was a total of 10 days between my NOA1 and NOA2. My petition was at the California Service Center. I guess I got pretty lucky!

I also submitted the G-1145 form with mine but still haven't heard anything. I'm worried!

No, they haven't cashed my check yet. Is that good or bad?

I sent my I-129F packet on 9/26/14, tracked it, and saw it was delivered on 9/30/14. It's now 9 days later, and I haven't heard anything, not even that they officially received it. How long does it usually take to receive the NOA1? I sent my packet to the Texas Service Center.

Thanks!
