I tried getting a letter from my bank and they acted like they could not do this and it was to much work. Yet trying to send me every record of transactions for 3 years was no big deal. Anyways...I would be ok sending my w2s, pay stubs and a letter from work?

My fiancé will be coming from Canada. Should he plan to fly here and leave his belongings behind? Can he bring everything that he has and drive down? Would they deny him?

Does anyone one know once you receive the NOA2 in the mail.... how long before interview in Canada? We were hoping for him to move here in December but now I’m not sure.

Packet 3 for Montreal is a checklist and ds-160 confirmation.  You will email it. Now that you have NOA2 start calling the NVC for your DOS case number.  

Packet 4 for Montreal is them telling you it's okay to book an interview. Do not do it before p4, it will be invalid and cancelled without notice. 

I was approved online and haven’t been received letter yet. Do I need to wait on it before I call?

I feel like I should know this! What exactly does NVC received and left mean? What does packet sent and received mean? 

We got our NOA2 today and I am so excited but want to make sure I understand all the steps that are coming up. I feel like I’m not prepared or educated in this enough no matter how much I read it!

omg.. youre so right. 

 

I just scrolled down and saw this too. I guess i just thought we needed to submit it because we had 3 or more. These petitions are really confusing!

 

Imma try to edit my posts, so nobody gets a wrong idea.

 

edit: nevermind you can never edit your old posts. weird.

Ok so my fiancé has no criminal record. So we didn’t need to submit a form?

Wait I’m confused! Were we suppose to submit a criminal record too? I went down the checklist on here (even had a friend double check for me) and never saw that. I thought that it was for the interview. Am I wrong? This means we will definitely be getting an RFE.

No update on new and old web sites.

We received information that we got RFE from Tier2.

Has the status of your case been updated on web sites / any notification?

 

how long have you been waiting for RFE after you found out that you got it?

 

i can’t belive it takes so long  and when I imagine that we will be waiting for an answer from USCIS for another month or even longer it just kills me 😞.

 

What is the old and new sites? I haven’t been checking either.

Reading those stories of people just getting "forgotten" really makes me anxious. Like I dont mind the wait at all, but reading about how many people dont get any answer for a very long time and then they ask and nobody can help them... It just feels weird. Like how do you know your case is fine and they just check stuff.

 

203 Days now... 

I’m feeling the exact same! So nervous about it all.

I wish I had found this thread earlier! We filed Feb. 22. I should hear something back next week. But from other comments I’ve read I shouldn’t expect anything. I’m so nervous and excited about this. It’s been such a long road!

Not to sound harsh but don’t be upset if you don’t get an approval when you’re expecting it. USCIS is not exactly punctual. Unless you got a text saying you were approved and you’re just waiting for the letter in the mail you might still be waiting a while. With that said, you also may not get anything from the embassy. They’re not exactly rules following people either. Immigration processes are more like do it yourself kind of thing and if you don’t you’re screwed. I suggest checking the guideline on VJ for K1 visa and looking to see what the next general steps are. Then go over to the embassy website for your country and search for K1 visa and you will find a list of all documents and following steps. Every embassy is different so you really have to go by what the website says and you can always check the country specific forums of this website for more specific information as you’re gathering documents. 

Thank you!

Congratulations on your upcoming approval. The checklist that you get from the usembassy.gov website is very clear and to the point. You should start there first, then come back and fill in the gaps with this forum or other websites. 

I’m asking because I am the petitioner. I am wanting to know if my fiancé will need original copies of my old marriage license and my original copy of divorce decree when he goes to the interview. I gave both to the Catholic Church for my previous marriage to become annulled. If I am going to need them for sure I need to go ahead and try to get them. 

We should receive our NOA2 next week or the next. I am trying to get things together and be prepared. I have been previously married and know that I need my original divorce papers but do I need my original marriage license to my ex? What other documents will I need? I know that they will give me a specific list but I am just wanting to know in general what was required to bring. 

I know that we should receive our NOA2 around the beginning of September. Could we go ahead and get all the information needed for the AOS? I am going to fill out one for me and my parents are also. Is there anything else I can go ahead and have ready to move the process along faster?

canada can take a couple of months for the interview. once you have your noa1, book the interview and medical and all, and see what the timeline is looking like. they can come here once you have the noa2, but again, depending on timeline it might be better financially to wait. coming, having an interview a week or two later,then moving could be a strain depending on their circumstances. if it were close id rather save the money so i can fly up to attend the interview with him.

We already have the NOA1. We can go ahead now and make an appointment for after we get the NOA2?

Our NOA2 should happen in September. My fiancé is wanting to visit the end of October or beginning of November. Is it a smart idea for him to do this? We don’t want to book something and then find out he can’t come.

I've been on a fair bit of timelines and I think you could say 3-6 months is normal. I got mine in 4 months and I saw others get them in 3-4 months, but yes many other people it takes 5-6 months. 

Awesome! Thank you!

Apologies friends. Just new in the system hence did not understand how the thread works... very sorry for that 

It is ok. This site confused me a bit too but it’s very helpful!

According to the OP's timeline, they filed February. So I'd advise sticking it out.

Definitely going to stick it out. I was just trying to plan things.

I can’t seem to find an answer online.  How long after we get married does it take before my future husband can work? I am a planner and just curious what we need to prepare for.
