Any and all information is more than usefull at this point, thanks!

I don't have the P3 instructions for your Embassy. If and when you get a copy if you could share with me then I would be able to share with others who come behind you.  Here are a few things that I did find the can be used as a primer.

 

From the Serbia Embassy's website: Interviews are by appointment only! You will receive an appointment when you have submitted your notice of readiness confirming that you have all the required paperwork in your possession. Embassy Belgrade will notify you of your interview date and time and paying the MRV application fee by an appointment letter.

 

Required Documentation

 

You, the foreign-citizen fiancé(e), (and eligible children applying for K-2 visas) will be required to bring the following forms and documents to the visa interview:

• Completed Form DS-160, Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application. You (and any eligible children applying for K-2 visas) must: (1) complete Form DS-160 and (2) print the DS-160 confirmation page to bring to your interview. 
• A passport valid for travel to the United States and with a validity date at least six months beyond your intended period of stay in the U.S. (unless country-specific agreements provide exemptions).
• Divorce or death certificate(s) of any previous spouse(s) for both you and the U.S. citizen sponsor
• Police certificates from your present country of residence and all countries where you have lived for six months or more since age 16 (Police certificates are also required for accompanying children age 16 or older)
• Medical examination (vaccinations are optional, see below)
• Evidence of financial support (Form I-134, Affidavit of Support, may be requested)
• Two (2) 2x2 photographs. See the required photo format explained in Photograph Requirements
• Evidence of relationship with your U.S. citizen fiancé(e)
• Payment of fees, as explained below

Note: The consular officer may ask for additional information, such as photographs and other proof that the relationship with your U.S. citizen fiancé(e) is genuine. Documents in foreign languages, other than the language of the country in which the application takes place, should be translated. Applicants should take to the visa interview clear, legible photocopies of civil documents and translations, such as birth and divorce certificates. Original documents and translations will be returned.

Yes, for the CEAC tracker choose "Immigrant Visa".  Yeah, it is confusing, but give it a try.   Let us know if this corrects your issue.

@Greenbaum explains it best.   To quote him...

 

"The K-1 process is quite strange. For a time, it is both a non immigrant and immigrant visa type."

 

"As you go through the stages, within the NVC system you look up your file under immigrant. It stays that way until after approval and ready for issue. At that point, it changes over to non -immigrant. It truly is a non immigrant visa with immigrant intent."

GB's TIP: The medical for the interview is good for 6 months. For AOS the same medical is good for 1 year. Your validity of your visa is based on the medical date so don't get the medical done to far out from your interview or you will have less time after the visa is issued to be on US soil.

what question number is it? I need to look at it as I haven't filled one of those in some time now.

Just wondering. Does it mean that once I come to the US on K1 with validity say of one year and apply for Green card, I would have to leave once 1 year finishes even though i am waiting for my green card application to be approved?

 Thank you in advance.

I'm pretty sure that it means that you need to enter the US within 6 months of medical, potentially accounting for the 90 days before the wedding. Once you get married, it doesn't matter anymore. Maybe I'm confused.

Yep that's what i thought as well. So it shouldn't matter that much, the main thing is to enter the country and legally marry during 90 days period.

 

Thanks for your reply anyway.
