k1-FTP LETTER - Do i need to schedule at VAC at Santo Domingo embassy along with interview for K1?

[travelntrav 0]

Hi, was wondering if someone can explain exactly what i should be doing at this stage in the process? So I received the K1-FTP letter went online at ustraveldocs and did the DS-160 for all applicants and paid the 265 dollar fee for all applicants. The application asked a few more questions then I got this message "Your request to schedule an appointment has been received and will be reviewed. You will receive an email once your request is approved."  

 

Question 1: What does this message mean and what should I expect to happen?

Question 2: I have not done medical yet because I think I need to actually have a scheduled interview date "letter" in order to do so yes or no?

Question 3: I have completed the I-134 affidavit of support and have tax documents, vaccination records, passports and etc but these are not submitted online only brought with us to interview correct?

Question 4: I do not see an option to schedule a VAC yet on ustraveldocs first do we need to do a vac as well for K1? If so how do you schedule that?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

1. It means exactly what it says in the message. Your payment is sent to them as a request and must be approved by them in order for them to grant you access to the embassy interview calendar

 2. Correct. you cannot do the medical exam in Santo Domingo without having an interview date scheduled

 3. Also correct. you will bring all of that in person with you on the date of your interview

 4. Yes you do need to do a VAC appointment but they are scheduled along with the embassy appointment (which you are currently waiting for approval for from the embassy). Once you receive approval from the embassy regarding your payment, you will then schedule both the VAC and Embassy appointments together (depending on the availability of the calendar)
