US Travel Docs, Pay Visa?

[KhanLuree 0]

Hi All,

For k-1 filers, did you register on travel docs, schedule an interview, AND pay the visa fee online? I know that is what it says to do online, but want to verify with those who have successfully gone through the process.

*Will be done in New Delhi*

Thanks!

Hi,

I am trying to do the same for my fiancee who is to be interviewed in Mumbai next month. But from what I have read in many posts that for K-1 you don't need to pay at UStraveldocs but rather bring in the demand draft with you to the interview. I am still not able to navigate since we do not schedule an appointment online because we are assigned a date and time by the consulate.

So I am confused here and unforunately I am also looking for some guidance here as well.

You can pay the VISA fees either at any of the CITI or AXIS bank branches or bring a DD to the interview. If you are paying it thought the bank they will provide you a reference number which you need to register online STEP 8 in your profile on US TRAVEL DOCS website.

Yes, you are right that you needn't schedule an interview on US travel docs as the NVC schedules interviews and will mail you the Interview letter with the date & time. The online schedule is only for non-immigriant visas not for K1.

Thank you for the reply!

Where will I get the 'demand draft'? After registering on travel docs?

And what is the purpose of registering then?

Hey, your fiancee and mine have the interview on the same day and time and place. Hope we can set-up something so both of them can help eachother out. That way they will also have some support. What say you?

"Demand Draft" is like our Cashiers check. So basically it tell the embassy that its as good as cash. The purpose of registering is for the delivery of your passport once the visa is issued. That way the beneficiary and embassy can track the issue of visa and the shippment of passport back to them.

Hi Punit & Dhurvi, that works for me. I will be at the consulate before 7:00 AM. I'm the beneficiary

Awesome, Dhruvi should be there just before 7 as well, as they start taking people in at 7.
