I have a question though. I've been reading about Income Tax Returns and Poverty Guidelines.

Since they already approved our petition, it won't be an issue anymore right? Or will they look into it during the interview? How do I know if we're good or not? In his Income Tax Return? Which part? 

 

 

To determine if you will have no issues for the financial part which is to say do you meet the financial standards here is the link to the poverty guidelines.

Apparently, my fiance hasn't finished doing his taxes for 2017. But in the email sent by the embassy they only asked for his 2016 taxes. 

 

It's ok right? I'm just really nervous about my interview 😱😱😱

The rule of thumb is if you have submitted your taxes and they have been excepted by the IRS then use the latest submission. To determine this see if you can get a 2017 ITR from the IRS for the interview.  If you have not filed then use 2016. All will be fine.

 

You need to relax. You're going to get through this. Just read what is required, gather what is required and bring to the interview what is required. It's that simple. The interview will last all but 5 minutes. You're getting yourself all worked up.

Hey !! We didn’t wait for the packet 4 (only packet that we receive from the embassy ) there’s no specific packet for each person here just general instructions for all the applicants so I went ahead and did everything without the packet 

[Boyd_M 23]

Ok, so now that we are close and have interview scheduled, done with medical etc. and we want to start planning on what happens once my fiancee gets to US, is there another place everyone goes one this site to help each other out?

Hi everyone, 

 

Does anybody know when you pay the fee for the visa? I thought it was after you submit the DS-160....

Anyone from Mumbai India K1 Interview scheduling got dates for April  20, 27th recently ? I keep seeing April 13th available since yesterday but none for last week of April.

 

My PCC application requires local Police Verification - takes atleast 3 weeks on average as passport was issued in Indian Consulate abroad and in such case current address matching that of passport makes no difference; it triggered a Pre-Verification.

 

I had April 6th booked earlier but canceled it and now looking to move it further by two weeks.

hey!!! the current latest date shows on the website is april 6 if it doesnt change that means theyre all full keep checking the website 1x everyday. I rescheduled 3 times.If someone reschedules to closer date it is likely youll get thiers  but you have to keep checking the website everyday. FIY you dont have to cancel it just make a new account and look for dates everyday when you see new date pops up then reschedule it in your original account.....good luck!!!

Can anyone tell me what is appropriate for booking flight for K1 entry? I mean, if we book a round trip, can we just book it as cheep as possible not worrying about the date? Like we found cheep flight dates with a 6 day round trip price. Do the immigration agents care about this knowing it's a K1? Or should we book it out the extended 90 days and then once were married let the return ticket go un-used? Or Must we book a one way ticket? Or do they not allow that?

You can book either a one way or a round trip doesn't matter to immigration. Of course choosing the one that his cheapest is in your best interest. BUT!!!!!

 

Embassy states in their letter: Do not finalize arrangements for travel to the United States, dispose of property, or resign from your job until a visa has been issued and delivered to you. Generally, a single-entry fiancé(e) (K-1) non-immigrant visa is valid for six months from the date of issuance, unless its validity is limited by medical or other restrictions.

Today I call the nvc and they give us our case number. ...They say now our case will be send to Mumbai. 

Question

Now since I have the case number can I schedule the medical, biometrics and interview or not yet since he did receive yet the package from Mumbai consulate?
