K-1 NVC Letter confusion and petitioner interview?

[Rob&Jen 14]

Hiya,

So I'm at the stage where my medical is booked and I'm now trying to get my fiance (US) to contact our co-sponsor to sign the I-134 and gather financial evidence. When I asked her when she planned to do this she was under the belief that it would be several months before my interview with the London embassy would be scheduled because according to "the government website" she would need to send the financial documents to her local consulate and schedule an interview for herself. She is under the impression she will need to visit NYC for an interview.

I tried telling her otherwise but she had to leave for work and couldn't discuss it.

Before we speak about it again can I just clarify whether the NVC letter that is sent to the petitioner makes any mention of this?

Because as far as I'm aware once the case is forwarded to my embassy the ONLY thing she needs to do is mail me the signed I-134 and financial evidence and the rest is handled by myself and the embassy.

Only you, the beneficiary will have an interview at this point.

Yes, that's my understanding but somehow she's got it in her head that she needs to attend one too.

No. The NVC letter will not tell her that. It will say the case has been sent to the appropriate embassy. For a K1, the NVC is merely a handoff point between USCIS (petition) and Dept of State (visa/consulate).

Yes. That is the ONLY thing she has to do....mail you the I-134 stuff.

Thank you.

I was certain that was the case but since I haven't seen the NVC letter I wanted to make sure. I really don't know where she's gotten this idea from. It rings a bell for some reason. I think maybe a different visa or maybe she's looking into the AOS process and getting mixed up. She mentioned needing to choose her consulate.

This is your London Instructions which you can tell her to read. https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/fiancee-2/applying-for-the-visa/

You can pick an interview date for yourself now, but you are supposed to have all your documents and the I-134 in hand first. You no longer have to wait for London to assign the date. See the instruction link. You have done Step 1 and 3. Complete Step 2 and 4 then schedule your interview date.

All your fiancé needs to do is mail the I-134 and supporting financial documents to you. If you have your medical booked, and you'll be able to book your own interview date, then it won't be long. She needs to get working on it, and mail it out soon. Tell her to stop looking at crazy things, okay? You are almost done and will be together soon!

The NVC letter she may (or may never.. or maybe even duplicates every few days if they feel especially enthusiastic!) receive will just tell her the petition has been forwarded to London. That's pretty much it. She's welcome to look around here for additional confirmation.
