NOA2 Received - Confusion on next steps

[K1 Petitioner 1]

I am in the K1 visa process with my fiancé (the beneficiary, French). At this stage we have received:

-          9/20/23: NOA2 (I-797)

-          10/11/23: email from NVC (attention to my fiancé) with our case number and confirming receipt of our I-129f

-          10/18/23: confirmation our case reached the Paris embassy.

 

I am currently working on my I-134 and gathering supporting documents, which looks like it is not submitted in advance and simply signed and mailed to my fiancé to bring to the interview?

 

My fiancé is also just about finished with his DS-160 – he has job-hopped a bit so he is unable to complete that portion for the last 5 years without hitting the limit on how many jobs he can list. Not sure if that is okay?

 

Once the DS 160 is completed, my understanding is you will make a copy of the confirmation page to bring to the interview and pay the fee at the same time?

 

Does my fiancé also schedule his medical exam and interview on the same website, or is that through a different website? We are also not sure when we should schedule the medical exam in relationship to the interview.

 

Any information/answers/experience specifically with the Paris embassy is greatly welcomed and appreciated!!!!

1.  Yes

 

2. Order of events:

  2.a. Complete the DS-160

  2.b. Pay the fee

  2.c. Use the payment receipt number to schedule the K-1 interview

  2.d. Bring the DS-160 confirmation page to the interview (along with other documents/items)

Thank you! I was just unclear as to what the process would be for scheduling the medical exam and interview - wasn’t sure how to do that or if there were specific time frames of when we needed to do the medical before the interview.

A week or two in advance of the interview should be sufficient
