Hi everyone,

When I embarked on this procress (K1), one really handy thing to have would of been step by step flowcharts. Idiot proof diagrams, as i think its good to visualise things.

I'm thinking of putting these together and asking whether Visajourney will add them to their site, and BEX. As far as i'm aware nothing else like this is in existence.

Anyway this is a rough mockup (i know the information needs ammending) that I would like some feedback on, style, design, information and what might need to be added.

If people can help with details I will create a K-1, K-2, K-3 etc.

Cheers

James

I know I would find it helpful, James. Ya might want to up the font size a little, though.

James -

I think the flowchart idea is brilliant!

Would love to help with the K3 process. Please send a PM. What program did you create it in?

My comments on the K1 flowchart are:
- would you add the stuff that happens after you enter the US (AOS/AP/EAD) here or in a separate chart?
- I think there should be some discussion (like something that goes off to the side) of RFE's...
- what about the fact that timelines vary so much? it took us 4 weeks to receive NOA1
- other things vary too (Packet 4, where Packet 3 is sent) - not sure how to address that...

Rete

There are charts for K-1 to add their timelines, etc. Just as there are ones for POE's. Not sure if you have looked at all the resources available.

Regardless, I'm sure whatever work you do to improve either existing sites and/or start up of new ones, would be applauded by all.

The whole thing is a bit too small. Not very easy to read on a screen
(it's probably better when printed out)

I think it's a good idea and a good start. I noticed right away that you left out the NVC's part of things between Steps 4 and 5. It's really the NVC which sends the file to the embassy/consulate. Although the consulates vary on how they do things in the last several steps, it's good as a general outline.

James,

Look for an e-mail from me.

Hay! That is really cool and most helpful. If you want to email it to me in a larger file so that it is more clear I can convert it to a Adobe pdf file, which will be easier for people to read.

add in the chance for an RFE.

Thanks for all the suggestions, here is a html version:

Will do. As mentioned this is a rough mockup, i know timescales and some information needs refinement. Thats why it would be good to get the community involved providing me the correct steps/timescales.

I would plan to add stuff like work permit at POE, AOS etc...

Cheers

I think it looks really good. Nice work.

When John and I started this process a year ago, I used to love looking at others timeline to see what to expect. I know blips happen to everyone but it woudl be nice to look at a step by step flowchart. Our process seemed to go quickly thru Vermont service center Good luck James

I did make one for my K3 when I was grappling with the ins and outs of it all. It needs to be updated because armed with 5 months worth of extra knowledge it's not 100% accurate. Will post later when I've updated it.
