Quick Question,

On the applicant statement, it says to check if either he will be going alone, or with someone (children). There are no children but I do plan on attending with him. Am I allowed to? And do we note this on the statement?

No. You don't have to note that on the statement, the question is asking either you're going to apply alone (K1) or with children (K2) (if any) to your interview scheduled. Yes you're allowed to bring him to the interview but I'm not sure if he'll be interview as well. From the info I gathered here, some said that both were interviewed while some said only the beneficiary.

Thank you so much for providing this! Could not find a sample pack anywhere!!

Wow, Congrats! your Service Centre is fast in sending the petition to NVC. CSC is taking SO LONG. at least 40++ days. I am just ranting. It's just good to have the case number so I can schedule my medical. when I I have to fly to get it done.

Well, when they gave me the case number, they said it had just been entered into their system today, and that it is now undergoing necessary AP. Not sure if this is normal or not???

Oh. I am not sure about that but from what I see, the petition usually leaves NVC within a few days. How did you get the case number? Did you call them?

Yep :) I had called them yesterday and they had just received the case, but no number was assigned yet. They told me it could take 10-20 days, but patience isn't my strong point lol. So I called today and voila they gave me the number. But he said he has no time frame of when it will be out of AP. At least with the case number i can track it now though.

I hope it will be out of AP soon. Some takes a very long time to be sent to the Embassy. Best of luck to you and I will call them at the end of the month, or as soon as someone from CSC who filed in August got a case number from NVC.

Hey guys, there's a new info for those who's not in the interview phase yet. http://travel.state.gov/visa/questions/news/news_4413.html
Effective immediately, all K visa applicants are required to complete the DS-160 Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application. The DS-160 replaces forms DS-156, DS-156K, and DS-230.

For K visa cases already in process at a U.S. embassy or consulate, the DS-160 is not required when, prior to October 7, 2013, one of the following situations exist:
  • The K visa applicant is already scheduled for an interview.
  • The K visa applicant has already been interviewed and has been requested to submit additional documentation or is pending administrative processing.
  • The K visa applicant has already submitted a valid, signed, unexpired DS-156, DS-156K and/or DS-230 or received instructions to do so.

Checked the CEAC site today for out case and it says this:

U.S. Department of State
IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION
Ready

Immigrant Visa Case Number: KLL********* KLL

Case Creation Date: 08-Oct-2013

Status Updated Date: 11-Oct-2013

Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at:http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3731.html

For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV.
But we have not received anything yet. I'm assuming the packet 3 will be sent out sometime this week hopefully. But since we have this can we go ahead and pay the fee online and do the medical? Or do we have to wait for the packet?

Also, my fiance lived in China for 9 months, and on the DOS site, it states if you have lived anywhere longer than 1 year, but I have heard Malaysia requires a police certificate for anywhere lived more than 6 months. So yesterday, my fiance went to the Chinese embassy in Kuala Lumpur and inquired about how to go about getting a police certificate for the time he studied there. They told him he'd have to go to China in person to obtain it!! ohmy.png Is there anyway around this? I've emailed the US Embassy and not received a response, also emailed the Chinese Embassy in KL.
