Hi, does anyone know if I have to pay the k1 visa before they send me my package 3 (not sure if I have to wait for that or not?) or before they called me or contact me for appointment?

This is what our status says: "Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you already have an interview appointment scheduled, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Present your appointment letter at your interview, if you do not, you will be turned away. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment."

Any information you can provide me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Maybe you should ask in a regional forum. It might depend on the country...

In Spain, you don't pay until you have received package 4 which contains your date and time for the interview, You then have to register online in the embassy's website, specify the interview date and time provided and then you pay. Afterwards you can print the proof of payment and take it with you to the interview.

But, like I said, this might be country specific. However, it seems to be common sense to pay once you have your interview date (but common sense and paperwork don't always go together! tongue.png )

I get the same message at CEAC (and has been the same from the time NVC sent it to the embassy; I have since received package 3 and mailed it back and it still says the same, only the date has changed)

Best of luck!
