_________________

does any1 have an estimated time it might take at the NVC...3 or 4 months?? more??

they sent me an email that my i-129f was approved...is that the NOA2 then it goes to DR...or does that just means it goes to a national visa center...for another approval then to DR???...i have not read the letter as of yet...because i have a p.o. box...and will not be able to stop by in the next week to pick up mail...any input

here is what the email said

The last processing action taken on your case

Receipt Number: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

On December 21, 2006, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I129F

PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you

move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

I recieved my noa1 today....its small step toward the big goal.....i am happy...:):)

Thanks for the replies but I wanted to explain everything clearly...I DO NOT TALK TO HIM IN A 'MOTHER' WAY NEITHER AM I NOT NICE AND EXPLAIN IT TO HIM AS MY FIANCE....but I also do not want to be naive...i want him to have an understading...maybe i did come across as harsh in my explanation but i actually think that because i have been so soft and nice with him..he thinks is alright...and its not...but thank you all for the replies.

I saw this on a website and thought it was a good conversation to start here......My honey tells me that I have change...that I did not worry as much before and that I was not such a "big mouth" but I think its part of the relationship, not to be "a big mouth" but to start getting clear on what you expect out of the relationship and the person you will marry or are already married to, and what your significant other should "tentatively' except when arriving/living in the states and with you. I dont want to sound like a wallstreet junkie but I personally have invested and still am investing a lot in this long-distance relationship (from trips, phone cards, paperwork AND TIME) and I do understand that a variety of that goes into any relationship so its all an investment. However, when you only see each other in either a 'made-up'/ 'structured' environment like a hotel or a 2 weeks trip, it can get hard to deal with 'normal' situations. For example, my fiance's english is basic. And I have asked of him several times to take an intense english course, but he has yet to find the 'time'. I think he feels that because we are both dominicans, with fluent spanish, he does not need to. However, I want him to understand that I will not take the role of his mother or babysitter when he comes here. And that I wont be his boss or the waitress at the restaurant or the receptionist at the doctor's office. I think slowly he is getting that, but slowly is not good enough for me, because I was able to invest and adjust right away in this relationship, and make things happen in order to make it stronger and I should expect the same from him.

Sorry for the long post...but do you guys think he is right for telling i've changed, or is it part of the ongoing/growing relationship?....should I not expect or let him know what to expect when he lives in the states....for the most part... any non-offensive input is welcome.

i make $30,000 a year will that be enough or will I have to get a co-sponsor....thanks all

congrats...like me you have just started your visa journey and like u i feel the same about this website...it has helped me lots...i sent mine thru post office just priority mail...for 8.95..i sent it on friday it go there on monday....i wish both of us luck in the journey although i know mine will be a bit longer...i am dealing with the dominican consulate...best of luck

Should i be getting anything ready after sending my I-129f...I know i just sent it today and my fiance is in Dominican Republic...which is like the longest embassy to review the cases but shuold i be getting something ready...while waiting ...for everything....

thanks all...the only one I did not see was 'TOUCHED'

THANKS AGAIN...VERY HELPFUL

I know this might sound incredibly stupid but what does RFE stand for and what is it...I just started my application for my fiance so I have a long way to go learn all this vocabulary.

there is also a couple of other words, which i have an idea of what they stand for but just in case, here it goes:

CSC

NSC

NOA

"touched"

NVC

RFE (IMBRA)

NOA

thanks all...and sorry "incredibly stupid" question but best to ask for the long process ahead....

RFE=request for evidence

CSC= California Service Center

NSC=Nebraska Service Center

NOA= Notice of Action

"touched"= the date on your USCIS case status page has changed. (i.e. it says "Updated September 22," you were touched Sept 22)

NVC= National Visa Center

RFE (IMBRA)= A specific RFE they sent out for everyone who filed on or after March 6 but before around June 15 which is when a new form came out (unless they filed with the old form later). It is to comply with a law to protect foreign fiances, so USCs have to disclose criminal histories for some crimes, and whether or not they used a marriage broker, etc.

NOA=you already asked that!

Anyway, I'm just posting this in case anyone who reads this is too lazy to read the guides and they ask later... Also procrastinating on going to the post office.

THANKS!!!!

HOW CAN POST MY TIMELINE FOR ALL PAPER WORK AS I SEE SOME MEMBER HAVE THEI TIME LINE UP FOR UPDATES

I agree. Unless you have a complex case. follow the intructions on the homeland security/immigration website then come to VJ for all other guidelines and questions....this site has really helped me....

JUST IN CASE ANYONE ELSE HAD A QUESTION ABOUT SENDING AN I-134 WITH YOUR I-129F PACKAGE. HERE IS THE ANSWER

****Please note, while you are allowed to submit an I-134 Affidavit of Support with the I-129F package, it is not required and the embassy may eventually request that you submit the same information again to ensure that it is still valid. Typically the I-134 Affidavit of Support will be filled out by the US Citizen and sent to the fiance(e) for the K1 interview. It is not required to be sent to the Service Center with the I-129F (and not recommended). Some Consulates require extra information to be included with the Affidavit, so you need to hang onto it until you have learned whether or not there are additional requirements. These will be listed on the OF-167 "financial support" document the fiance(e) receives from the Consulate...***************

While the I-134 is not REQUIRED until the interview, do you think it might show that one is serious and well prepared, and thus speed the process at USCIS or the consulate?

Tom

thanks for all your help JEnT do you know if

should the letters of intent be certified by public notary. (intent to marry within 90 days)

should the letters of intent be certified by public notary. (intent to marry within 90 days)

this site is wonderful the amount of information that i have recieved here..has help me revised the petition to my favor....i thank you all

The I-134 is sent by the Embassy once your petition has been approved. Many USCs complete the I-134 once they've received their NOA2 to reduce the time it takes to complete packet 3. You don't want to complete your packet 3 too soon as you want your financial information to be current at the time of filing. You're going through the DR, so you have a LONG wait. Last I heard, 12-18 months after approval for an interview to be scheduled??? The DR-ers can confirm/refute that though...

Jen

I am a US citizen but my family is from DR (and fiancee)...and I've heard the same...its a long wait...I am in for a treat

no, you do not send the I-134 with the petition. You'll need it later when your fiance/spouse goes for the interview at the consulate.

thank you...it helps to know...very much!!

No.

The I-134 is for the consulate interview, assuming that is the form they request. They will tell you in packet 3 what affidavit or form they use for financial information. Follow the guides above and send only what is requested on the instructions for the I-129F. Good luck.

THANK so VERY MUCH!!
