Okay so Part 3 asks for a "Date of Intended Departure" and "Length of Stay". We don't have this information. Must we put a date?

Perfect, got it. Thanks 👍🏾

Oh well in that case, I have printed the I-131 form and will fill it out asap. Anything else I need to know before I submit my AOS packet tomorrow? I appreciate all of your input so much

It's okay. But thank you, I appreciate it. My fiancé is ready to start working.We are mailing our packet tomorrow. T

No, no at all OK thanks. We will be mailing our application tomorrow 🙏🏿

Hello there. We are in the process of completing our AOS application along with I-864 & I-765. My husband entered on a K1 and we married last month. I need confirmation. Will we be mailing our AOS packet to the Chicago Lock Box since we live IN California? Thanks you

Did you figure it out?my fiancé is the one who completed it so I don't know how to help you navigate the payment part. Sorry.

Oh wow. I've not received any physical mail since my NOA 2 lol. Just emails which is faster anyway.

I emailed the Embassy and two days later I received my packet 3 and the green light to schedule my interview.

Well today is a great day. I woke up to an email from Naples Consolate with all the instructions we need and we scheduled our interview for November 29. Just 11 days away. We are elated and feeling extremely blessed! Whoohoo! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Oh okay yes. We will be paying the MRV fee at the time we schedule our appointment online. Anyways, I really appreciate you responding and sharing your experience. I am very relieved. Just a little wait longer, I pray. We have a similar timeline too. Wishing you both the very best 🙏🏿🎉

I sent an email on November 11th and received an automated reply. Sorry I'm clueless about the MRV fee and courier pickup...? We completed the DS160 as well. We did not continue with the online registration so we did not see any appointment options. Honestly, no need to tease ourselves. We are already suffering enough with the waiting. Thanks so much for responding!

So our status showed ready on November 10, 2022 but we have not yet received our packet. How long does it usually take? Many have said to schedule our own appointment but while we were in the process, the message clearly states NOT to schedule until instructed by the Consulate, otherwise our appointment will be canceled on the day of. We've emailed Naples Embassy and even called the office but still nothing. Most of the people I've reached out to who have had interviews at Naples said that their interview was scheduled for them. Our petition will expire December 15 which I think is nothing to worry about since everyone is behind. Just curious, anyone scheduled their own interview before receiving their packet? Did you get this message?

Our interview will be held in Naples Italy. I've heard so many people saying that we can go ahead and schedule our own interview before being notified by the embassy. The instructions clearly state NOT to do that and that the appointment will be canceled. It's only been 4 days since the consolate received our petition so maybe this week will be our week to receive our interview appointment. Hope everyone is hanging in there. WHAT A JOURNEY 😑

Naples Embassy received our Petition today! Status is "Ready". My understanding is that the Embassy will email us packet 3 and schedule our interview... Im so excited. 510 days today and we are approaching the finish line. What a journey!

Thank you for responding. Darn it! You are right. I'm reading the I-134 instructions and it says to provide (from the list) what applies... 😂 Okay, the heck with the bank statements. I have Tax transcripts & employment letter that are sufficient. CASE CLOSED! Have a great day and weekend ahead!

So the instructions for the I-134 form say to provide a Statement from the bank with "Total amount deposited for the past year". I just left my bank and they can only provide monthly statements. How should I handle this?

Well, people have told me that K1 visas do not get invoice numbers.

Hey me too. I received an email yesterday. Did you receive the same email? Also, I don't have an Invoice ID... That comes separately?

Hey there so yesterday, Saturday, October 22, 2022, I received this email. I find it interesting to start off by writing "the correct case number is... " Besides that, I don't have an invoice ID, I guess it comes separately!? I'm really getting excited 😁

Good to know. So it's been 26 days since NVC received our petition so we would like to get started on the DS-160. I heard that the DS-160 is good for 30 days and that we can stop and finish later because our information is saved. Looking forward to getting our case number 😊😊😊

No one wants to hear this but sincerely, Timona, you are right. People come here with questions and concerns but if you don't give them the answer they like, they will pretend that everything is suddenly OK and that they have it already figured out. Something seems very strange but hey who am I. I'm just a nobody!

Wow, I guess Lagos really is a difficult Embassy! Sorry for those who go all this way just to be denied. It's awful and unfair, I'm sure. However, people are constantly being approved and have only meet once, many have crazy age gaps of 20+ years, others are only asked 3 questions at their interviews, some don't even have their paperwork examined, I've even heard someone say that the consular asked them "what kind of meat do you have in your refrigerator? "... WHAT DA!!! 😂 All I can testify is that EVERY situation is case by case! I was stressed to the point of feeling sick that we were going to get an RFE because so many others did when we also were guilty of the same things that caused them to get an RFE but guess what? We never got an RFE! One size does NOT fit all! At the end of the day, it depends on the person we come in contact with and their good or bad attitude and the good graces of God. Best wishes to all. Looking forward to completing this dreadfully, long process and being with my honey pie chocolate drop ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sometimes I feel my heart breaking as I read posts where people have been waiting closer to almost 500 days for USCIS to even touch their case, God forbid they get and RFE. It's just awful! Thankful for groups like this which helps to connect people in the same situation and also provide support all the way though. I do believe that things will differently get better. HANG IN THERE PLEASE AND DON'T GIVE UP. IT'S WORTH THE FIGHT ❤️💪🏾 Once we are united with our love, we need to remember this journey WHEN we face tough times together... Til death do us part...

Amen! Only God 🙏🏿Congratulations to you both. May He continue to help you and bring this while process to completion. And you will never have to look back again!
