Department of State Online Visa Status Check

Starbuck -- yes. Although technically the K-1 is a non-immigrant visa, all the embassies HANDLE it like an immigrant visa because it does lead to legal permanent residency so quickly. So for instance, when emailing your embassy you usually will be talking to the "immigrant" visa unit, your interview will be with an "immigrant visa" officer (and probably the line outside too, although it's dependent on your local embassy), and yes the CEAC page treats K-1 as an immigrant visa. It's a distinction without a difference, for K-1 it's really mostly "immigrant" in every normal sense except legality.

The bit about the "interview date was provided" is wrong, that's just some boilerplate language. But the fact that it's IN TRANSIT is the good thing, so you went out the same day as me from NVC (today the 5th). Tomorrow after 3 pm, we should be able to start tracking it on DHL, I hope!

Thanks! Mine was actually update today too! It is updated pretty quickly for anyone else wondering. My petition is "in transit" online and I called to verify and it left today and is on its way to the embassy!

On that website you write you case number from uscis or firs need to call the nvc to get different case number? And another question what visa type we choose, i mean immigrant or nonimmigrant?

Maybe those questions are stupid but im getting confused

You need to call the NVC and get your case # USCIS receipt number will not work. And even though I'm a K-1 I chose immigrant and it worked.
