Look on your NOA1 under notice date; it’s probably October 2nd or 3rd. My petition was received on August 27th, my notice date was August 31st and I received hard copy in the mail on September 2nd.

Is she coming later just to visit or to live in USA? If it's just for a visit than you do not have to include her name on the form

As far as I know you need medical exam for interview, you are not required to show proof of vaccines for K1- visa, but you will need it for AOS. If you don't have the record, they can take blood and do test which will show if you are immune or you can just get all vaccines again.

No, it's not a problem

It could be that they sent you NO2 hard copy, or your case was sent to NVC.

I was a joint sponsor for my sister when she did her AOS. When I filed I-864 I had to put the size of my household (at that time I was married so me, my ex-husband and my sister that I sponsored were household of 3). Each application is separate and you have to count co-sponsor as part of the household so for each new member poverty line is increasing. How much money does your co-sponsor make, and how many family members depend on your co-sponsor?

How many people you need to sponsor? They will count your joint sponsor and amount will change.

You are making copies of your original documents (birt certificate etc...), yes you can make copies before, but you have to bring your originals to the embassy or consulate when you go for interview (they will keep copies, and give you back originals)

Did they ask for D-230 Part 1? My understanding was that DS-230 is the form you need to send back with checklist, but then again all embassies’ are different. Didn’t they send instructions letting you know what you need to send back?

Text and e-mail, no hard copy.

Received approval e-mail @ 8pm

No need to include copy of the passport

You need tax return with I-134 only if you are self-employed. If not you need to submit letter from your employer (include following information’s position, start date, full-time or part-time, temporary or permanent position, salary).

You will need last three years of tax return when you file AOS and to answer your question no, it’s not a big deal if your address is different.

Well I have read the guide on here about 3 times now fully and I am still confused on somethings! lol

Do I need to send in the I-134 AOS form in with the I-129F packet in the beginning or is that for a later date?

No, he will need I-134 for interview

Should I certify mail the I-129F packet or something else?

I would recommend certified mail

The forms I am sending in, my fiance wasnt here to sign in person, but he filled them out, signed them, scanned them and then emailed them to me and I printed them out. Will they accept that?

I believe they need to be signed, not printed copies, but I could be wrong

I know I have more questions, but I cant think of them right now lol

Do I need to get a Pastport? I have not traveled to england or anyother country, but in reading some things on VJ it says copy of passport?

Thanks.

Erin

Only to prove your citizenship, but your application was already approved so you will not need passport.

So today I recieved our NAO2 via email, I currently have the flu and my mind is going in one hundred diffrent directions. I know you probably think this is a stupid question but what now?

Vermont was our service center. What number do I call to see if the NVC has recieved the package and do I have to call. Can anyone from england give us as est. time from this point until the interview. I know these questions can be annoying and I'm sorry but I do thank you all for the help you can and have given.

THANKS,

erin and dave

It takes about a week to get to the NVC, so you will likely hear something about status if you call after that. Make sure you speak to a person. K1's are not updated on the automated status option.

im currently living in ireland and am filing a petition for my fiance who is in ireland with me. i havent lived in the us for 5 years, we are moving to california and i am wondering if i should file out in california or in the vermont office as the last place i lived was NY.

any responses will be greatly appreciated:)

niall

When are you planning to file, before you move back to California or when you move?

planning to file now, before we move back

Why don't you get married and file DCF?.

whats DCF?

i thought the k1 was the faster visa to get.

my fiance is polish and not eligible for the visa waiver scheme. although we have a 2 year old daughter who is a us citizen.

If you are filing abroad:

File Form I-129F with the service center based on the last place you lived in the United States.

That would be Vermont for you

Hello fellow vj'ers! It was nice of all the people who responded to my hello. My fiance and I were both (at our own homes) looking at VisaJourney today and it really made us happy seeing all of the people who have had such good luck in this process. I will be sending off my I-129f form here very soon. I'm thinking I may send it off by Friday. My question is this.....can someone help me in some of the specifics of the I-129f form? I have an example sitting right in front of me. I got it from this site and another one from ***removed***. This is where my problem is coming though. I have read almost this entire site and the other one I just mentioned! I've been on the USCIS site and have been watching YouTube videos as well. And now after all of that I've gotten so much information in my head that it seems to be overloaded. I'm only asking for help because I'm really ready to do this. Neither me nor my fiance have any experience in something like this so if anybody could help it would be greatly appreciated. However most of the questions I have I have a good guess what the answer is. I just wanted to see if someone could tell me, "this is how I did it"! I promise to help other noobs with any information you can give me and be a steady member of the VJ community. Thanks everybody!

Part A:

On question ten when it says, "My citizenship was acquired through" it has two choices under it, a box asking for a certificate number, a box beside the word parents two questions asking if you have a certificate of citizenship in your name and if yes when and where it was issued.

Where on the birth certificate is your number of certificate? Is it the number on the top right of the document? Should it be a 10 digit number? A seven digit number? And what do I do if all I have is a copy? Also having to do with something else it asks for a copy of the front and back. Mine doesn't have anything on the back besides security document watermarks.

You were born in the USA, you do not have certificate of naturalization. Certificate of naturalization is only for people born outside of the USA. If you are less than 18 years old when your parent are getting citizenship, that's when you acquire citizenship thru parents. Anyway, this is only for you info, as I said earlier you were born in the USA and you do not have certificate of naturalization so check birth in the USA and leave everything else blank.

What is the box that just says parents for? Is it asking if you got your citizenship through your parents? I'm guessing that is what it is and that I would leave it blank if "Birth in the U.S." was my answer.

Correct

What is a certificate of citizenship? Is it something you would get if you were a citizen but not born in the U.S.?

Part B:

On question 3a it asks for the place of birth for my fiance. It asks for the town of city and then in another, smaller box it asks for State/Country. Do I put in the state or country or both? If I'm supposed to put both which I believe I'm supposed to do what do I do if I can't fit it in the box? It is Tehran/Iran. But the only way it will fit in the box is if I put TehranIran. Will this be acceptable?

Tehran is the capital city of Iran. So for town/city you would put Tehran, for state/contry Iran.

On question 9 should I leave it blank of put the word "none" in the box?

None

For question twelve how do you fill out the boxes for arrival/departure date and date of arrival and date authorized to say expired? If I put in the box above all of that that she is not currently in the U.S. do I just leave it blank? I was thinking that was a "no-no".

Blank

On question 15 when they ask for the phone number that she has in Canada do I put it like this? 011 1 555 555 5555? Will they ever call that number? The reason I ask is because my fiances family since finding out what we are wanting to do has been extremely hard on her. They won't let her work so she can't have money to get her own place. They tell her to leave me or they will kick her out in the streets. They call her names and recently her father said that he would actually take her life! We have decided to keep this all under the rug until things start to blow over a bit. If that's even possible. I try to be there for her as much as I can but I don't make a whole lot of money and flying to Toronto takes a big chunk out of my check everytime. It'd be so much easier if I could just go visit all the time....Ugh, the call worries me.

Does she have a cell phone? If she does than put cell phone number as her home phone number. My best friend went thru this process few years ago, USCIS never called, but the embassy called her job to check if she works there. So, you never know what they might do.

BIG QUESTION!!!!! On question 16 it asks if my fiances native alphabet uses other than Roman letters, write her name and address in the native alphabet. She lives in Canada. She speaks and write English. But she is formerly from Iran and can also speak Farsi. Does she need to sign this in Farsi? Does she write in her current address in Farsi too? If not do we just keep it blank? Geez, I don't expect a lot of repliers to this I know I'm making it too long! I'm sorry.

I asked my fiance to sign his name in native alphabet, why not, it's not gonna hurt your application

If you can help me I'd be so greatly appreciative. I promise I will pass this knowledge onto anybody else I ever in my life hear ask. Whoever takes the time to respond to this let me know if you could answer just a couple of the same type of questions for the g-325a. Like I said before I have read so many different websites now and heard so many different supposed truths that I've gotten everything jumbled in my head. I know not to take anything as the exact truth without looking it up but I don't even know where to go now that I've read the whole site and am still a little confused. Thanks guys.....anything you can give me I will appreciate so much!

To save time, she is better off doing test before the actual medical exam. They don’t care how you obtained proof of immunization as long as you have one and you fulfill requirements.

I've read that some VJ members were sending documents if they notice that they missed something in initial application. Just send them a letter explaining why and it should be ok.

I’m not an expert, but the form states you need to provide address, so just give them what they are looking for.
