Unfortinately it doesn't show anywhere. You can call them at 603-334-0700. Start calling two weeks after your NOA2 approval. Once you get your case number you can check your status on http://www.ceac.state.gov

Do they give us the case number by phone? Will they email or mail us it? I know that mail can take quite a few days to receive it. But thanks for the link to the website.

Hi, guys! How do I know that NVC got my case? Does it show on the same website that the NAO1? Or only by letter? How do I follow up on that? Thanks!

Hi everybody! Now that my NAO2 arrived, we are looking into the I-134 form. My fiancé has not enough income, so we will need his mother to co-sponsor. His father could be a better co-sponsor, but he is worried about his job on the air force, as he thinks that sponsoring a foreign can affect his clearance. I don't know how much my future mother-in-law makes right now, but she has no one dependent on her, so her household would be her and me, the beneficiary?

Maybe we should have attached the "sponsor" form with the first petition... but we thought it would be necessary just for the second part. After the NOA2

From what I understand, we both thought right. The same happened to us. My fiance was studying only when we filed our case. But, don't worry, you will need to to bring the Affidavit of Support when you go to the interview, and that's where they are going to evaluate your financial situation. At least it is how I understand it.

That would be great. It is serious and ceremony that joins the both of you as husband and wife is frowned up by the embassy whether it be informal or formal. I think it would be safe if you do not mention at your interview about doing the ceremony after you get the visa before you formally enter the states as that could be a red flag. 

I don't intent to mention it unless they ask, of course, but I have seen the case of many Brazilians that had they religious wedding in Brazil before they move to US and they had no problems at all. I have just one friend that said they gave her a bit of a had time on the interview for the green card, but she could prove that was not a legal wedding (though it was a big and beautiful wedding), so they understood it and approved her.

Still, I won't recommend. As many other people. Don't start your immingration process with the lie. Check that thread. 

 

 

Thanks for the advice! wow, really seems dangerous. We will need to cross our fingers and hope for it to be approved prior to the date, otherwise we will need to call off everything. Now it got me even more anxious!

Be careful if your religious ceremony will take place before your actual wedding in US, and especially before your K1 Interview, than you might be taken as "too married" to receive fiance visa. Because this kind of couples should apply for different kind of visa. I would skip religious ceremony for after the real marriage in States.

I understand the concern, but there will be no documents from our religious wedding, so, they can't consider us married, because no government does consider it. So, I guess there will be no problem. I'm not sure if it could even help with the proof of an ongoing relationship and intention to marry. I wouldn't be so worried about it.

I guess it depends on the embassy but I know some women for instance Filipina overseas workers in Hong Kong after NOA approved recently only take 1 1/2 months.  So we're hoping approved this week or next week and here late May or June in the USA.  

 

Find a good direct flight ASAP and get her here to USA!   And get on with our lives 

I hope it is this fast here in Brazil too. Well, actually, we will be having a religious only ceremony in Brazil for my family and friends on July 15th and we hope we can have like a week of honeymoon and then I can go to US with him right away. But, Lord forbid, the visa is not ready yet, at least we have some more time until August 26th. I know everyone here agree that waiting for this visa is just such big headache. Not be able to plan for sure anything and be waiting on this for our lives moving on is very stressful. But I hope we all have approved visas inside time frames!  And this website is great support, thank you all!

We have a (flexible) date set for October. I think as long as you receive NOA2 in April or early May, you will have the visa in hand by the end of August. 

I hope it is much earlier than that. Planing and buying plain tickets is really difficult when is so close to the date... But, God will take care of it and all will be alright! 

102 days of waiting for the NAO2. I'm getting nervous. Maybe we shouldn't but we already have an wedding date. Lots of prayers to have it ready before the wedding (Aug 26th).
