Ok We are so near the end of this process to be hitting a brick will just sucks!

I have an interview date and time in just over a week. The letter didn't arrive.

I cannot pay fee's because we do not have a DS-160 number.

I cannot get through to anyone as the transitional process is happening.

Anyone worked this transitional process out yet and if you have can you please help me to understand what to do next. Thank you x

The email stated was mailed to us on the 22nd of October. But yes I check it daily. It is just a dead end which ever way we have tried to go. We need help :( ...we are literally counting down the days.

See the paying instructions in this Interview document http://photos.state.gov/libraries/unitedkingdom/164203/cons-visa/IV019_fiance_appt_letter.pdf

Did you follow them exactly, specifically choosing "pay for a K1 visa" BEFORE scheduling the courier? If you do courier first, you get into non-immigrant visa territory for student or B1/B2 applicants and can't get to K1 payment. That was the problem people were having last month or so when this was new. Unless they did a change this week, it should work. Many had to start over with a different email address because if you take a wrong turn, the software is unforgiving.

If that doesn't work, they will still take your money at a payment window on the day of the interview.

Also, did you actually submit an online DS-160 or a previous version of the application forms?

What is missing, the appointment letter?

The appointment letter didn't arrive, it was posted out on the 22nd of October. We did the older forms as we were told to, the 230 and others that had to be filled in and returned. The new way appears to be easier to keep a track of but we had to do it the older ways. I am glad they will take the money on the day as without a DS-160 number the online way just wouldn't do.

man i am so frustrated right now, we have spent the day chasing up one lead after another to keep hitting dead ends. :(
