Advice on what happens after NOA 2?
Hi...
Anyone help is so far as what happens after we have gotten NOA 2 from the US? I have been searching these threads and other sites and so far I am thinking this happens?
1. US send NOA2 to UK London consulate.
2. Do I wait till the contact me or should I fill out the forms DS230, DS156 and DS156K and send them off before they contact me?
3. The check list on the London (US) embassy site says I don't need to post any documents - just take them with me... guess that must be right then.
4. Ruth sends me her Affidavit of Support from the US to take with me at the interview?
5. Is it crucial that I have my marraige certificate? My exwife has this...
6. Anyone any ideas what the time span is between 2nd NOA and an interview in London?
Thanks everyone for your help so far...
Good luck to all of you who are going through this tough process and more importantly, being away from the ones we love!
Best wishes
Andy

Yep!

Won't do any harm to send them now

They didn't ask for mine but you can bet your ass that if you don't have it they will
want to see it! The courts kept my marriage certificate when they issued my divorce.
I got another one from the Family Records Centre in London. Don't take any chances.

For me it was 4 months but my petition got lost between CSC and London so that is not
necessarily typical.

We got our 2nd NOA on July 11, and Graham just got word that his interview date is September 9th. I think that if you're pretty quick about getting everything sent in, it goes fairly swiftly.

Thanks!
Did Graham send all the forms off before the US consulate contacted him? Thanks again

It was actually really quick--he posted his timeline earlier (his screen name is Targaff). I think he mailed off the forms a couple of days before he actually got them from the embassy...but we went through TSC, so if you went through a different service center (I can't remember) it might not be as fast.
