Hi Guys,

My visa is in transit now to London!! Whoop!

I have a few questions if you guys could help me out.

Am I okay to go a head and book my medical exam whilst the visa is still in transit or should I wait a little bit longer??

Also as far as all the forms I now have to fill in will the embassy send me those or has it all been condensed down into the DS-160??

Finally, in a little worried about the affidavit of support. My fiancé is a student and has a job but I'm not sure if it will be enough! Her father is willing to fill the form in for us which will be fine. Will this be okay or does the affidavit have to be filled in by my American fiancé??

Cheers guys! Best of luck!!

NVC has sent my case to the embassy and when I checked the website it says "Your case is in transit to the Consular Section. Your interview date was provided to you by the National Visa Center." So does it mean they have already scheduled my interview ? if so where can I find the interview date that they are referring?

I know each embassy is different but the Turkey embassy only wants to forms DS-160 NONIMMIGRANT and Form I-134, is that all? I thought there were more forms in package 3... Also I am a little confused about the nonimmigrant vs immigrant visa... in CEAC I had to select Immigrant visa to obtain information about my case but it the USVISA.gov says that K1 is nonimmigrant...

Once your petition reaches the NVC it will be given a case number and forwarded to your Embassy. The Embassy will then contact the beneficiary (foreign/alien fiance) and inform of exactly what it needs prior to scheduling an interview. The beneficiary will at some point need to complete a DS-160 as well as a medical. You can visit the website of embassy and look up the information which will be required.

For the first question, you could probably go ahead and schedule your medical. CharlieTanger may be able to give you more insight on that. You will need to file an electronic DS-160 once you have your case number and invoice number available to you. You can complete that at any time. http://london.usembassy.gov/iv/fiance_instructions.html

I'm not sure what the requirements are for scheduling your interview at an Embassy in Turkey. But before you even get that far you need to fill out and electronic DS-160 and follow the steps for submitting packet 3. Each Embassy is a little different. USCIS considers the K1 a non-immigrant visa. Embassies generally label it an immigrant visa. It's not entirely irrelevant at this point, but it's not going to have any impact on how your case is handled form here on out. You will fill out the DS-160 as well as what is considered your packet 3 and the embassy will tell you the next steps. Which embassy in Turkey was your case sent to?

Dear Stephanie, thank you very you reply. I just checked the CEAC and they changed the our status to ready and this is the message "Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment." My case is in Ankara Turkey, and in the embassy website says that once we send you the package 3 then you need to go online and schedule you interview, pay the fee and then send the documents (form 134 and online DS-160)... but here in this message says that they will notify us of the interview... I guess now we have to wait to either they set up the interview or send us the 3rd package and the we set up the interview date...

This is what I found on the Anakara Turkey Embassy's Website: Instructions for K1/K3 Visas

If this information is up to date, it looks like you have some additional forms you may need to fill out. You will get a letter in the mail from the Embassy which will request exactly what they want from you. You may also consider posting in the Turkey sub-forum for advice from other filers from that country.

Hi everyone. So I got a quick question. I am going to try and call the NVC to see if they have our paperwork yet. My question is which number do I call? I notice on their site there is two numbers. One for immigrant and one for non immigrant visas. The K1 is non immigrant if I remember correctly.

A non immigrant visa with immigrant intent so it is classed as an immigrant visa. Call the immigrant number.

Thanks. And congratulations on getting your interview date.

Thanks! Good luck with calling. It takes a bit of persistence and patience.

Thanks! Well after being stuck at the Texas office, persistence and patience has become a normal part of life lol.

I called the non-immigrant line a couple of days ago as the immigrant line wasn't even letting me hold. I got through after 40 minutes of hold time and confessed that I was confused to the guy who answered. He was really nice (said his name was "Mel") and said he could help me no problem. Got my case number! (And now our file is "In Transit" Yeah!!!)

Hope that helps!
