JMK_IT reacted to Jenny Doci in K1 Visa Approved - Naples, Italy (experience) February 22, 2018

Ciao Paola, quanto tempo hai aspettato da quando ti hanno detto che i documenti erano a Napoli a quando ti è arrivata la lettera? E quando hai prenotato l’appuntamento, dopo quanto tempo te l’hanno fissato?

JMK_IT reacted to geowrian in FORM DS-160 or/and DS-260? Puzzled. February 7, 2018

DS-160 is the non-immigrant visa application.
DS-260 is the immigrant visa application.

K-1 is a non-immigrant visa. It's handled by the immigrant visa unit at the embassies and is very similar to immigrant visas, so sometimes their instructions are generalized and refer to the DS-260.

I believe the applicant’s statement refers to the letter of intent that both you and your fiancé should complete prior the interview, communicating your intention to marry within 90 days upon entering in the United States.
I will double check to make sure. There’s no other “statement” we should write, so I’m pretty certain it’s that.

And whoa, thank you for the information. I wasn’t expecting so much inefficiency, although it makes sense.
Your answer confirmed my worst doubts.

Would you mind if I messaged you privately?

Hi, I'm Italian too and I'm currently going through the same procedure/problem!
It's just not clear, i tried in any possible way to get in touch iwth Naples Embassy, but the best luck I had was to get to talk to a real person that told me they don't talk to people about visas.
About WHEN to collect documents, I can tell you by my experience that gathering documents too soon it's a bad idea...I'm going through gathering them all again because apparently in Italy even a birth certificate expires in 6 months (no idea how my date of birth or parents have changed in the past 6 months!!!), same for majority of documents, as police certificates etc.
But since your case already left NVC you can/must start now, since for a few things it may not be very easy or quick to get them.
About the embassy giving you time, no. They don't care and they don't get in touch with you.
It's up to you to schedule the interview just when you have everything ready to go. (which is where I am at right now)
So they don't notifie about the interview date, it's basically up to you to remember your NOA2 has an expiration date and it's your job to go on line and book the date you think it's good for you (remember to go throu IMMIGRATION VISA, it took me forever to figure out the way to book the interview).
So basically you can follow what the packet 3 on line says, what people on VJ tell you to do, I'm assuming being paranoid and bring more of everything and make 3 copies of each document may be a good idea.
Hope I'll be having an interview soo and I can help better Sorry for negativity, but I'M STRESSING OUUUUT!

Hi, I've seen you'll go to Naples embassy... I've heard of packet 3, but I don't think we will receive it in any way, I think the only thing they do it's have it on line and you can download it (it's also not very well organized, imagine that!)

I have an additional question. I've seen on the Naples Embassy Page here on VJ ( http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Italy&cty=Naples ) that is needed to print, sign and fax back an Applicant Statement...what is that? where do I find it? I'm confused!!!

Hello all,
first of all, thank you for all the content provided on this platform. We would have needed a lawyer if it wasn't for this.
We are in the middle of the K1 Visa process, and we are at a step where I'm quite confused about what documents to gather, and when.

This morning my fiancé, the petitioner, received an email from NVC with an attachment addressed to me, the beneficiary, communicating that NVC received the approved I-129F petition and that it will now forward it to the US Embassy in Naples, Italy.
The notification also provides the Case Number and the USCIS receipt number.

Following the instructions on http://nvc.state.gov/K1, I will soon start gathering the following documentation:
- FORM DS-160
- The police certificates related to my country (Italy), which are two, the Certificato carichi pendenti and Casellario giudiziale
- Vaccination records
- Evidence of relationship (photos, emails, travel tickets, various receipts, conversation screenshots and whatnot)
- Passport and 2x2 photographs
- My fiancé is completing the Affidavit of Support, Form I-134, and he's also gathering statements from his bank, his employer, and tax documents

Now, my question is: how do I know if that's all I need or if there's more? Will the Naples Embassy get in touch with me and give me time to provide everything I need? Will I receive more detailed information or will I just be notified about the interview date?
I checked on the Naples Embassy page through the "Review Additional U.S. Embassy/Consulate-Specific Instructions" link provided by the travel.state.gov page, but the page doesn't seem to provide any specifics.

I apologize if my questions sound trivial, I just want to make sure we're doing everything right.
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, I'll add any possible additional document just to be sure. Better be safe than sorry! :)

That's incredibly quick then, congratulations! I hope this means we will start to see an overall decrease in NOA2 wait times.
