[Matt & Bing 56]

thanks. we had a guide in the past, but it would be time consuming for any member to do something similar for the process at the present time. perhaps a thread where members could post links to useful information would be helpful to those going thru the process in this forum.

Yes that guide is now way out of date.

How do we get this pinned at the top of this forum?

Thanks for your work.

The most useful is probably the one for K-1 Visa Interview Preparation Instructions

http://manila.usemba...ov/wwwfk1en.pdf

I've noticed there is still some confusion which DS forms to use for K-1 Interview. it is advisable to check the Interview Preparations for current information on how to prepare for and what to bring to the interview.
