John and Janay

Hey everyone, 

Does anyone know what vaccines are needed or where I can find a list? Since we have some time while waiting for our NVC# , we wanted to get ahead and make sure we have them all before the medical interview. 

Thanks!

Yes, we had some ice last night. I’m DC many agencies were closed this morning. So I’m sure it’s worse in NH. Should be cleared up tomorrow. 

I was thinking the same thing. Also worried about it going in the mist of Carnival in Brazil. Hope that doesn’t slow things down at the embassy. 

Our case was received by NVC on Jan. 31 and still no case number. I guess I got spoiled by how fast they received it. 

Oddly enough, our case still says received at USCIS. 

So now we’re back in the dark. Lol 

I know I shouldn’t, but I’ve been calling NVC twice a day for the last week. Once at noon and again after 6p lmao. I hope they don’t black ball our case number lol but I can’t help myself.

Just a thought: I believe you're supposed to address the recent intention to marry letter to the embassy/consulate and not USCIS.

 

Not sure if it's a big deal when people haven't done that, but it makes sense

 

 

Oh yes. I updated that too.  

All this waiting has me a little OCD on attention to detail. Im not sure if that is a good or bad thing.

Lol I just sent him the I-134 in the mail saturday! Glad I sent it express! We’re barely keeping up with the process now lol.

An Invoice number? What would it be an invoice for? I wasn’t aware of an invoice #?

Congrats   when did you call NVC? just now?

Yes just then. I try to wait until after 6p and I used option 5.

Just called the NVC our case was received today!!!! 

No case number yet, but 11 days! That has to be a record lmao! So excited! Wow things are really moving now!

Hey, what documents are you collecting?? I have been informed to show them evidence of our ongoing relationship.

So I sent a few things. 

A copy of the I-129f

a recent intention to marry letter (just changed the date on the one I sent with the I-129F)

evidence of our on going relationship. (I’ve visted since we filed so I included all the travel documents)

the financial support documentation 

Our NOA2 is dated Jan. 19. I called last Friday and again today. Haven’t received yet and got the “6 week blah blah blah”, so I’ll call again on Friday this week. We’re still collecting the documents we need, so a couple of days waiting on NVC wouldn’t hurt us. 

But, soooooo glad they’re moving faster than USCIS. 

Anybody find better luck using the other dial options?. I’m pressing 7, but maybe 5 or 2 could get me some better answers lol.

Our hardcopy says January 18th but the website says the 19th

I think it’s safe to go with the hard copy date. Our copy says the 19th so we’re going with that.

We got our NVC number! NOA2 was Jan 9th! The fella gave them a call yesterday and we're still both in a bit of shock, we knew it'd be quicker after the NOA2 but blimey! We're now frantically trying to figure out plans in terms of prepping and when I'll be leaving etc, so happy and excited!

Wow! NVC is really moving! 

Congratulations!!!

hmm...I don't remember how long exactly it took to get there , but I want to say about 2-3 weeks. 

 

Unfortunately, I won't be able to go there when he has his interview (but I wish I could so we could come back together!) As it stands, I'll met him at the airport when he gets here. And from what I've heard, interview at the Brazilian Consulate are very easy, but that doesn't make me any less nervous 

 

I think it's because after the NOA2 it's sort of unknown....and there are more things we have to do and now the beneficiaries has things they have to do as well. It's not so much just waiting like it was waiting for the NOA2. I feel that way do, I jus want everything perfect, and I keep reading every piece of information I can about the next steps, what to expect, etc. Good thing we're a part of this community that also knows how we feel lol. 

Yes! If it wasn't for this forum I would be going insane!

Is your fiancee taking a copy of the I-129F package you submitted? I read that it was advised, but I hope not a requirement. I didnt make copies before I sent...completely forgot.

Yeah, I think it takes so long because of all the pages and documentation they have to scan, and multiply that by the number of people that were approved, and well, you get the idea   I remember people were waiting like 50 days to get their case number, they were really behind at one point. But I think that the wait time is getting shorter. Just in time for us ahahah. 

 

So, about sending documents, I do suggest a carrier like FedEX, DHL, etc. If they offer something like delivery confirmation or registered mail, do it. However, I sent my fiancee the I-134 documents through regular mail, and it got there just fine (he's also in RDJ). Also, have your fiance keep an eye out everyday for the mailman and tell you when the docs show up. 

Yay! I read somewhere in the July NOA1 forum that the NVC recently staffed up to accommodate the large volume! Push through NVC!

Great idea. Thanks! I'll send in the mail tomorrow. Do you remember how long did it take for it to arrive? 

Rio! Wow! What a small world haha. Will you be traveling there to accompany your fiancee to his interview? I'm still debating, because I'd really like to fly over with him for POE. Just to make sure everything goes smoothly lol. 

Everything after NOA2 seems to be making me nervous. We're so close, I don't wan to mess anything up lol.

They don't actually send it through the mail (which I what I also originally thought). From what I've been told (and seen here) it's electronic. 

Even more interesting. A digital file taking 6 weeks to be opened. 

GUHHHHHHH this waiting is going to drive me nuts. 

I see you're applying through Brazil as well. What would you suggest is the best way to send documents to my fiancee there? He's in RDJ.

I was leaning towards DHL. I just want to make sure it gets there safe, it'll have my SS# on  the documents. Makes me a little nervous. 

Hi all! Jan 19 NO2 hard copy received Jan 25. 

Does USCIS send the application to NVC the same day they send it to the petitioner? Just trying to gage the mail delivery time lol. 

From California it shouldn't take 6 weeks to get a letter to New Hampshire!

NVC Receive - 01/25/2018

How do known it was received? Did you just keep calling, or you received a notice? 

@Naes

Thank you!!!! You're such an amazing support!

Does anyone know how the NVC contacts the petitioner? 

My friend is going through this same process, but she's months ahead of us. 

She mentioned that she received her NVC case number through email. Do they ever send anything in the mail? 

Does NVC have a case tracker like USCIS? 

Is there a K-1 NVC forum? 

Lol sorry for all the question.

@naes

How do I use the NVC tracker? I updated my information, but how do I save it so it saves my information?
