K1 (Non-immigrant) vs K1 (immigrant)?

[tirzaray 4]

This is my 2nd time filing for fiance in Morocco. My question is that I already received NCV # and we were approved but now the status is under the immigrant and not non-immmigrant which I noticed when I checked the CSB # given to us. What does this mean? I called and they said we needed to wait for package so I am assuming he will have interview after all. Anyone has had this issue before?

K visas are nonimmigrant visas but are understood to be used mostly for immigrant purposes. This is why you will see them under the immigrant section on official documentation from time to time.

So your fiance will have an interview and yes he needs to wait for Packet 3 which tells you the forms that you need to send back to the US Consulate, then once they get that they will send out Packet 4. Once you receive Packet 4 you are good to schedule an interview.

I got this from the Casablanca US Consulate website:

Please note that once a K visa petition is approved by USCIS, the file will be sent to the U.S. Consulate in Casablanca and we will contact the beneficiary of the petition directly to schedule an interview date.

Documents Required for the Visa Interview

• Birth certificate
• Police certificate (fiche anthropometrique)
• Court record (casier judiciare) and English translation
• Singlehood certificate
• Original marriage certificate plus a copy and English translation if applicable
• Original divorce certificate plus a copy and English translation if applicable
• Death certificate and English translation if applicable
• Medical record from one of our panel physicians
• 2 photos (5cm x 5cm) white background
• $240 paid in cash at the Consulate, in either U.S. Dollars or the equivalent in Moroccan Dirhams.
• I-134 Affidavit of Support form (with petitioner's original signature) along with a copy of the petitioner's most recent tax return
  • Please note that the petitioner must fill out the I-134 form even if he or she thinks that their income does not meet the Poverty Income Guidelines
• The beneficiary of the K petition must also fill out two copies of the DS-156 form as well as one copy each of the DS-156K, DS-157, and DS-230 forms. These forms will be sent to the applicant by the Consulate, or can be found online by clicking on the links above.

The K1 is handled by the immigrat side of the embassy but it doesn't itself confur immigrant rights to the holder so it is technically a non immigrant visa ( AOS confurs immigrant rights )
