Can't schedule the interview? DS 160 option does not exist... Help?

Go back and re-read what I wrote before you try to prove a point. K1 visas are processed as IMMIGRANT visas AT THE CONSULATES AND EMBASSIES. even though they are categorized as non immigrant.

Which brings me back to my point, when the applicant is paying the tax fee and scheduling their visa interview, they must select the immigrant visa category. If they select the non immigrant category, they will be making a mistake and will be required to start all over again. That's why it's so important to recognize that embassies treat K1 visas as immigrant visas. I don't want future applicants to get confused and file under the wrong category when they're ready to schedule their interview.

I spoke to my fiancés embassy this morning and asked them about it and they specified that they treat K1 cases as immigrant visas and I have to file it under immigrant visa in order to schedule the appointment at the embassy.

I don't know why that's so hard to understand for you. In the links I provided, it clearly indicates that even though its referred as a non immigrant visa, it still has an immigrant intent and is processed at the immigrant visa units at the consulate/embassy.

Good luck on your journey, you are totally correct in everything in what your saying, You got all the answers, you will have no problems at all.

I don't have all the answers but I'm trying my best to prepare myself and my fiancé for the interview.

I'm not an expert but I've done my fair share of research and I don't want other people to get confused and apply under the wrong cateogory so I'm informing them on what to do.

I'm not sure if that was meant to be sarcastic or not but thank you. Good luck to you as well. ☺️

I understand and know completely far more than you think I do. I am telling you that the link you sent has the letters niv in it. That's (N)on-(I)mmigrant (V)isa which is where you can find the section to sign up for fiance visa not in the immigrant section. Which is again, why I told them to check there.

If they were in looking in the immigrant section and couldn't find where to make an appointment then what's the issue they are having? Your answer was to send them to a niv link. Once you sign up through that you can make an appt...but you have to start in the niv section.

Tell me when you went to the CEAC website to fill out a DS-160 in what section was it located?

Hahaha. No, you clearly don't know more than I do. Stop acting like you know everything because you're wrong.

Let me break it down to you (for the third time).

When you register to sign up to register for your visa appointment, you HAVE TO go register under the "immigrant" section, not the "non immigrant" section. You can't make an appointment for a K1 visa if you chose non immigrant.

A professional that works at the embassy told me the exact same things I'm re-phrasing to you right now. Do you know more than a professional that works at the embassy? No, you do not.

I've made my statment clear and you're still here trying to justify your point. Get off my post and stop arguing with me.

I didn't say I know more than you. Regarding the other part I was only pointing out the link you sent takes you to the non-immigrant visa section. Edited October 1, 2015 by Shauneg
