K1 Interview

[chris181 2]

Is the petitioner allowed to attend the K1 Visa interview, at the Manila embassy? I've read some conflicting info on it... 

 

Also, any tips on scheduling an interview? Seems it keeps saying that all the slots are filled, or "there are currently no appointments available..." 

Some had suggested paying someone to book the appointment, but I'm not sure that's even legit 🤔 

 

Thanks 🙏🏻

They stopped allowing petitioners to attend interviews during the rona lockdowns and as far as I know they have not started allowing it again since.

 

US Embassy Manila is having some kind of total meltdown regarding scheduling.  No one can figure out what they are doing.  Apparently they have not opened any August dates for anyone yet so those should  appear all at once sometime soon.  On the CR1/IR1 side they show over 800 interview dates open in July alone except they could only go to expedites and reschedules so they are unbookable to CR1/IR1 applicants that have been waiting a year and still cant get an interview.  K1 and IR5 haven't had any dates open for a while now.  Its a real mess.

Aye. It's a shame 🥲

I followed your thread a couple of days ago- the appointments are available now!
