I think google chrome is a bit troublesome when it comes to accomplishing this ds-160, it always give me errors in retrieving my application. I just finished my ds-160 using internet explorer latest version and didn't even gave me any problem. Tried to retrieve my application and VOILA...😉.

 

Just have one slight question about my uploaded picture. Is it really a bit blurry after successful upload?

I used one of those photo places that take passport pictures at the mall here in the Philippines.  I had them to put one of the photos on my thumb drive and I used that to upload my fiancé's photo on the DS-160 without any issues

(NO APPOINTMENT DATES AVAILABLE)

 

I thought I'd share... I had to write to them to check on the status about a week after they shouldve received our K1 Visa app. They sent the P3 the next morning.

 

Once we sent back the items for the P3, we were told there are currently no appointment dates available but we would be placed in a queue for when future dates do become available. We were also told it could be 1-2 months wait for dates to become available. Grrr...

Hi LaLaRI

 

We are in the in the same situation. Here is our timeline.

 

Approved and received NOA2 on Jan 7th

Called every two weeks to check on the status and was told the case had not reached the NVC.

Received an email on Feb 13th stating our case was sent back to the USCIS on Jan 30th. 

Check the USCIS website and our case was reaffirmed and sent back to NVC on Feb 13th.

Received second NOA2 on Feb 16th.

 

Hopefully both of our cases will be corrected and sent through soon! Good luck!! 👍

Your answer is spot on. If couples aren't together anymore then who will show up for the interview. No ONE so letter of intent is not needed.

Well, I could see a possible situation where the fianc(e)e was just in it for the visa and even after breakup still sees a possible opportunity to try to get through the interview and get one anyway, without the beneficiary's knowledge.

Good point.

Preparing Materials For Interview

 

Hi all, I recently heard that embassies will not allow you to bring in those binders with the metal rings. Can anyone else corroborate this? If so, I'm going to have to pull ours apart and figure out how to organize in a plastic folder.

 

Any suggestions?

Thanks! I think I'm going to email and ask the embassy. I'm not really sure what kind of danger a 3 ring binder could present. Haha

Bring the binder and if it's a problem remove the plastic pages and toss the binder in the trash. You're over thinking this minor item.

What is the A number by the beneficiary name on NOA2

A number or better know as the Alien Number is just another number that USCIS and DOS use; much like the case number. But the A number follows you forever and the case number is a one time use number. You will use the A# for AOS, ROC and naturalization paperwork.

 

“A” number is short for Alien Registration Number. It is a unique seven-, eight- or nine-digit number assigned to a noncitizen. The 9-digit USCIS number listed on permanent resident green cards issued after May 10, 2010, is the same as the A-number. The A-number can also be found on the back of green cards.

Ok thank you very much.
