Hi All,

Did any of you share the process I am going through? We were told by the US consular office in Albania to first submit all the required documents which included everything from the beneficiary (birth cert, police certificate, military etc) and the petitioner (affidavit of support documents). They say that once they review the documents, then they will give us the go-ahead to choose an interview date.

I ask because from what i'm noticing, most people seem to pick the interview before sending the required docs and just bring those with them at the interview. Wondering if anyone has gone through the same process...

Different embassies have different ways of doing things. For some, you can book your interview, but most embassies book it themselves.

You're almost there - a little more patience. :)

I had to send all those documents to National Visa Center. Once they review them they send them to the embassy. I don't know if it's different for your country.

K-1 applicants do not send anything to the NVC, no matter what country they will interview in.

I know...and we are not trying to rush it really...as long as he's here this summer :). I just kept reading people scheduling interviews before sending in required paperwork.
