    LeeWanner got a reaction from Risma in JANUARY 2019 K-1 NOA2 ----> NVC   
    Hey guys, I'm new here!

    I received an i-797, stating that my i-129f has been approved! I'm unsure what to do from here. Any/all help will be immensely appreciated!!!

    I read while skimming the 33 pages on this forum, that my fiancee in Indonesia will be sent a "Packet 3". I looked up what that entails and this was the list I got:
    https://www.usavisanow.com/k-1-fiance-visa/k-1-fiance-visa-faq/packet-3/

    I'll list the requirements for my own checklist and ask questions as they come to me:
    1. She must have a passport valid for 6 months beyond intended stay - I assume she can get to work on this now, rather than waiting for the Packet 3?
    2. Birth Certificate - this is straight forward; however, I heard there are specific places the translations for documents must be done. Is that written in the Packet 3, or can she get those translated now as well?
    3. Divorce/Death Certificates for previous spouses - neither of us have ever been married. Is it ok to bring nothing to the interview in this regard, or will she need proof that it isn't applicable?
    4. Police Certificate for all places lived since age 16 - I have *no idea* what that means. What is that and where would she get it?
    5. Medical Examination - again, should she do this now or wait until the packet? It seems so vague to me... what exactly does one ask for when they go to the doctor? Are there specifics to be examined? Can she see any doctor/hospital for this?
    6. Evidence of financial support - I'm about to begin filling out the i-134. I will need my mother to co-sponsor; however, I've heard from some sources that my mother must fill out the i-864, and others say she and I must both fill out the i-134 (no i-864). Another question about this: Is my fiancee supposed to take the original i-134s, or am I supposed to send it to some agency and give my fiancee a copy to bring to her interview?
    7. Two nonimmigrant visa applications (DS-156) - I've not yet heard of this. Is this another form for me to fill out or the first form for her to fill out. Can she/I start that now or should she wait until getting the packet?
    8. One  nonimmigrant fiance application (DS-156k) - Same questions as for number 7.
    9. Two nonimmigrant visa photos - Would these be of me or her or both of us? Sorry if this is extremely rudimentary. 
    10. Evidence of fiance relationship - I take it this would be all the same evidence sent in to get the i-129f approved?
    11. A check - no questions here. I'm sure if the amount changed, that would be in the Packet 3.

    Again - I'll be eternally grateful for any help/advice regarding what my fiancee and myself should begin working on now.

    Q4 Required for all countries where you have lived for more than 6 months since the age of 16 and any country where you have been arrested, even if you were not resident there.  U.S. police certificates are not required.  Police certificates from certain countries are unavailable or are obtained directly by your Embassy (rarely does your embassy execute this step).  Fingerprints are required for certain countries.

    Here is a copy of the P3 letter that I have for your country. You can start using it to prepare but once you get the one from your embassy review it for final document submission.
     
    You should be over in the sub-forum for your region/country. Go up to the blue ribbon, select forums, then scroll down 3/4 of the page and find your sub-forum. Begin asking questions of others who are going through the same embassy as you. Someone from Germany, Spain or Syria is not going to know what you should do next because each embassy has different requirements.

    As a note, you don't need her birth certificate now, but you are going to need it translated into English and have it certified, and any other forms she might have that are in her language such as previous marriage and divorce certificates, name changes, etc. Just gives you something to work on while you wait for the embassy stage.

    You're missing:
    1) Cover letter (not required but highly suggested to list out what is included in your package and act as a checklist)
    2) Signed letters of intent to marry: 1 from the petitioner and 1 from the beneficiary.
     
    NOTE: While they will accept a binder with clear sleeves and it won't affect your petition's adjudication, the former IT document imaging experiences I have been through with setting up large capture processes makes me cringe inside if you put the documents in the sleeves. Those poor near-minimum wage workers that need to remove each paper from the sleeves to scan it...
     
    I'll just note that the second item here is really part of the first item. Written statements can help with a timeline, and photos are secondary evidence of meeting in person within the past 2 years, but USCIS requires hard evidence of the meeting (not statements) and putting a date to a photo is quite difficult unless supported with other documentation (i.e. receipts, boarding passes, passport stamps, etc.).
     
    Anyway, no change needed...just pointing out that the second item is really addressing the first item.
     
    1) No. They will need it for the embassy/consulate later, though.
    2) Correct.
    3) The beneficiary only needs to sign the letter of intent to marry. This can be printed, signed, scanned, emailed, and printed again. "Wet" signatures haven't been required for this for years now. The passport photos don't need to be signed...just labeled.
