That's great news! Friday makes 2 weeks for us so I'm gonna call them on Monday and see where we are. Fingers crossed! I love the ring idea! When we looked at engagement rings I immediately was drawn to a carribean topaz because it meant so much to me since that's where he is from. I known it made him feel good that I wanted something from where he lives too! Plus it's so pretty!

Very sweet... in the most special way...  

 

 

Thank you both. The funny part is that her engagement ring arrived after she had to go home. So she still teases me that I didn't actually ask her since the ring is sitting at my house rather than on her finger. I keep teasing her that I will come to the airport with flowers and the ring to see if I can make her blush. I have been threatened repeatedly for this.

Then, by all means, you must make the blushing occur to the nth degree!!!  Lol...

Yeah, she hasn't learned that it only encourages me.

Hey all! We submitted the DS160 today and I'm worried he forget to do something. Our attorney filled it out and my fiancé just needed to make sure it was correct and be the actual person to hit submit as the attorney can't do that for him. It was submitted and I received the confirmation page and it looks fine. My concern is I don't know if he checked the boxes in the INTENT AND ABILITY TO MARRY section. I'm guessing the form wouldn't go through if he didn't as it doesn't allow you to skip or leave blank any sections that require a mandatory response, but I can't retrieve it now that he's submitted it. Any insight? Anyone read about this anywhere?

I've got a question. We got approved a couple weeks ago and received an email with the NVC number. In the e-mail, it says to complete DS-160 form (a non-immigrant visa). However, when checking out the type of visas they have. it says K visa is an immigrant visa. Could someone please help me understand why this is the case? Thanks!!

I got so confused too a couple of weeks ago,

I did the DS160 and then in the instruction somewhere I read the same thing as you and started freaking out thinking I filled out the wrong format.

 

I came here and asked and got many replies saying DS160 indeed is the correct one, and sure was, I managed to even book my interview a day after this happened...

 

Still Im clueless why this whole process is so confusing and still dont get why sometimes K1 visa is listed as non immigrant and others as immigrant

It is doable, everything from here on moves very fast. The Philippines moves really fast. Once you get your MNL# you can get it all done quickly.  As long as you can schedule the interview on any day then you have lots of options. 

Thanks for the insight! 

 

Her schedule is wide open so we'll make it happen .....

Congrats on your progress so far.

A December wedding should not be a problem your NVC number should be available in the next 5 business days with any luck even by Friday.

 

Thanks for the encouraging comment...........!

 

just knowing it's doable has re motivated me.........

I called NVC yesterday. 10-4-17 and was told our case was received that day but not yet assigned a case number. I called back after work tonight, 10-5-17 and was told we have a case number but he could not give me any details. Long story short, the USCIS entered my last name as only "V".  #######. The NVC officer i spoke to was super helpful and pulled some strings to give me the case number and invoice number. 

 

Kudo's to the NVC

Hi, Fiance Visa is a NON-immigrant visa and Form DS-160 is required.

If someone married first then they would do a Spousal Visa or CR-1 vs. K-1 and the form they would use would be DS-260 which allows them to come as an immigrant instead of a Non-immigrant.

 

The Fiance Visa requires AOS AFTER you marry in the USA and that allows you to become a conditional permanent resident. You can remove these conditions by requesting the removal 90 days prior to the 2 year Green card expiration. The paper work never ends LOL.

 

Not sure why some places it says fiance is immigrant.

 

Overview: What Is a K-1 Visa?

The fiancé(e) K-1 nonimmigrant visa is for the foreign-citizen fiancé(e) of a United States (U.S.) citizen. The K-1 visa permits the foreign-citizen fiancé(e) to travel to the United States and marry his or her U.S. citizen sponsor within 90 days of arrival. The foreign-citizen will then apply for adjustment of status to a permanent resident (LPR) with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Because a fiancé(e) visa permits the holder to immigrate to the U.S. and marry a U.S. citizen shortly after arrival in the United States, the fiancé(e) must meet some of the requirements of an immigrant visa

Hi @spike198 That is correct no RFE's on the DS-160 hehe..if you don't fill something out that it wants it won't let you go to the next page.

It is also correct that you can't got back into it after you submit that is why they give you the chance to review the entire document before pressing the magic button.

If you made a major mistake you can do one of 2 things. Start all over and do another DS-160 which will generate a new AA number or what most people to is just notify the 

CO at the interview that there was an error.

 

Good luck and congrats

You know, I don't even remember those questions/boxes being there...
