K1 oath

[junaidkhalid89 0]

Hello,

I am from Pakistan. I have applied for k1 visa and my interview was on 4th January. CO gave me. 221g and asked me for the proof of status for joint sponsor. I have submitted it on the next day. Good thing is they kept my documents and passport with them.

Today i received an email from the embassy, they have asked to come on 26 February and take an oath for the submission of ds 260 form and new set of finger prints.

Now the question is, i have submitted ds160 form,why they asked for 260. Please help me to sort this thing out. Do i have to fill new ds260 or they have mistakenly typed ds260 instead of DS 160.

Hi, 

 

Reply back to the email that you got from the embassy and asked them why you need to fill up DS-160 since you are applying for K-1 visa. Wait until they reply.

Thank you for replying. In email it is mentioned that do not reply.

The email which generated your response might be just an automatic account, which isn't monitored.  That's possibly why it said not to respond. The website doesn't have an email address listed, but you could try calling with your question. There is a phone number listed, and maybe you could get a live person on the phone.

 

Someone with more experience might be able to give a better answer than me, but I think every country classifies the K-1 differently. For Pakistan, I believe, it's considered an immigrant visa; for other countries, it's a nonimmigrant visa. Since DS-260 is typically used for immigrant visas, it may be that the embassy is requiring that or an oath in regards to that as necessary for your case, instead of/in addition to a DS-160. Or it may be that they made a mistake. If the embassy isn't being responsive, though,  it might be helpful to contact previous filers from Pakistan and see if they were required to submit a similar document. Maybe someone else had a similar experience. Otherwise, go to your appointment and ask directly.

 

Good luck!
