Wow... that's insane! Thank you for letting me know. I guess we'll just have to go ahead with it. How quickly did they get it back to you?

Honestly, it was insane. Not to scare ya (lol) but they couldnt find our paperwork. Luckily my husband has family there who called and helped get it sorted. When we finally did get it back it was a crumpled mess. I think it was over a month or more. I hope you have better luck. 

Unfortunately, no. We ended up using USPS to send paperwork there which wasnt too bad $15-20 US I think. We used Fedex to pick up and it was like $100!  There was really no way around it. Every option was just as expensive. 

Does he have any family or friends that can write a letter saying you can reside at their home? Just so they know you have a place to live until you find a place? I think that would be good enough proof.

My fiance needs to get a police certificate from South Africa. We are having a tough time figuring this one out. The UK one was a simple process, this one not so much. The SA website says applicants can arrange for the certificate to be collected via courier service at their own expense. How do we do that? Has anyone done this before? My fiance currently lives in Canada. I am in US. It looks like it cost $62.60 to mail a letter to SA one way! Even more expensive in Canada. If that is the only option, I guess we must do that. But I still cant figure out how to arrange for the certificate to be collected via courier service. Help!

My fiance's son will also be coming over with him. Do you guys know if he will have to go to interview as well? He is 14.

Wow thats far!

I know he would love if I was there. I'll have to see if they allow it. We were guessing the interview would in in Toronto. I am not even sure yet.

When the interview is scheduled for my fiance, do I go with him? Should I go with him even if it is not required?

I will give it another week or 2, if I dont hear anything by then I will call. It's all such a process and a bit overwhelming. I want to make sure I am not missing anything Thank you!

Yes I have the NOA1. Ok I will keep checking the mail! I wasnt sure if you were able to check the status online with the receipt #, but that always says the same thing...that your case has been received and is being processed. Thanks for the info!

Hi all! I received my receipt of I-129 petition on 2/3/16. Will I receive a letter in the mail saying what comes next? Or do they email as well?
