I'm actually pleased I followed suit when tricked and slimbo booked, my work colleagues thought I'd lost the plot when I went into a "must book now" meltdown/panic in the middle of the day on Tuesday! Lol I love how this process continually plays with my emotions!! ?

Should have seen me when I first noticed the change, took a few seconds to realise what I was reading, then panic and try and book, realise I didn't have enough information.

I had a meeting/call 5 minutes later, but informed my poor team mate they were covering for me as I ran out the door to go home for the relevant numbers to book :P

Is it just for K? What about CR-1/IR-1?

I thought we decided this was for CR-1 and IR-1 DCF visas as well, not just K-1?

Is this definitely for K1 visas? I scheduled my appointment online myself, two days ago, but someone told me that isn't the case and now I've just seen this post! I'm so confused.

I've scheduled it for June 22nd and am praying that is the case!

Yes it is only for K1s and DCF filers. It is new as of one week ago so you could pick up old information easily. Follow this https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/applying-for-the-visa/ and you are good.

Nich-Nick,

Do you know if there is a way we can update the Pinned thread at the top of the forum with this information. It still currently shows in the London K-1 complete guide about the old process. I know the change was recently made, but would it be too soon to update the thread or do you think it's possible/a good idea to update it with the new information?

Anyone can add a post with new information to the end. Do it. But much has changed so links are broken because the London website changed so there's a lot wrong with it in general. Really needs a re-do.

Ok. So I tried applying when it was at NVC, nothing kept coming up with 'not ready for interview'. I tried again several times when it was in transit. Yesterday evening (still in transit), I was able to book, pay my fee, courier fee etc. So I think it's when NVC does something on their system after they have sent the file to the embassy. I know the package arrived today but it's still marked 'in transit' so I'm expecting it'll change next week, regardless it'll change before my medical results get to them which is all good.

This is the stage I'm at, mine is in transit, but when I try to book it keeps coming up with 'case not ready for interview'. I emailed the embassy yesterday, I'm yet to get a reply, but I'm hoping it will work for me soon.
