Hi Binaa, my wife received the interview letter and the interview was scheduled for 12/12. I guess you should have received your interview letter as well. 

Thank you Janet3. 

Just to confirm, the consulate schedules the interview for you?  Is this before you pay Aramex for the interview and take  your medical exam?  Do you take the interview letter to Aramex so you can pay?

 

I thought we have to go on the consulate website to schedule the interview ourselves?  The Algeria portal has these instructions, so is it incorrect?

I am not sure how this works for a K1 visa, but for a CR1/IR1 visa the NVC schedules the interview with the Embassy in Alger and sends you the Interview letter with the appointment date. In our case, Registration with Aramex is only for passport return after interview, and has nothing to do with interview scheduling. Maybe someone with a K1Visa case can better explain. Good luck!

No problem! I have a feeling this information on the portal might be outdated. I doubt that you will schedule the interview with the embassy. Doesn’t hurt to double check!

For a K1 visa you go through a different process. My fiancé went through a different process to schedule an interview. It appears that CR1 interviews are scheduled through the consulate.

Let me explain more.....my fiancé went through the process quoted by @JuniorMints (with ustraveldocs)......that is the process for the K1.

 

Obviously, the process is different for the

CR1

 

I apologize for the confusion of my last post.

Thanks, my fiance went to Aramex in person to ask about the process and they explained it to him.  He's also going to ask the clinic how much time it takes to get the medical appointment, then how many days it takes to get the results before we try to schedule an interview date.
