Hello. My question is for ones who already passed K1 interview. There were immigrant or non immigrant visa applicants while you were taking your interview? As I know there's immigrant and non immigrant visas must to schedule interview separately, different days. When I called to clinic to schedule medical exam, the receptionist told me that there's something wrong with my interview schedule as on Fridays (my interview will be taken on Friday) is not immigrant visa day. I'm confused. Pls help me to make clear  this issue.

K-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa with immigration intent. 

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.

So it must be taken at non immigrant day or immigrant day of interview?

Sorry I am unable to answer this question. If you have received your Packet 3, refer to it. Otherwise, call or e-mail your embassy to confirm the details. Every embassy is different when it comes to scheduling the K-1 interview.

That is something unique with your particular consulate and is not common across other consulates. Therefore, we will not be able to help you much.

 

That being said, as @KULtoATL mentioned, K visa is a non-immigrant visa by definition, which is why you have to adjust status after you get here.
