How is interview scheduled? When to file Ds-160? (Merged threads)

[mangomynz 2]

Hello,

I have a question because I keep seeing different types of information that either you schedule the interview in the embassy for K1 visa or that NVC does it themselves, so I am little bit confused what is truth and what is not.

Also, how long did it take for your case to be transferred to NVC after USCIS approval? And also how long did it take for the case to be transferred from NVC to the embassy/consulate?

Thank you

NVC does not schedule K-1 interviews.  What consulate will conduct the interview?

Technically it should be Frankfurt, Germany but we want to change to Lithuania.

Since consulate processes differ from country to country, I have moved this discussion to the Europe & Eurasia regional forum.

Hello,

Could someone explain how the interview is scheduled? Can you select the date yourself or does NVC or US Consulate/Embassy schedule it themselves?

When you should file or complete DS-160? Our case is in transit based on the recent email from NVC we have received our case number and we should visit the travel.state.gov website to see about the further steps for K1. Should you do the DS-160 form when the case status is ready?

most embassies will have you schedule the interview yourself. it is entirely dependent on the embassy.

 

same goes for the DS-160. some embassies want you to wait until you have received notice from them, usually called packet 3. This packet explains all of the next steps of the process.

but technically the DS-160 can be submitted at any point, as the submitted DS-160 is valid for 1 year.

which embassy are you going through?

you should fill out your timeline

I think you have been on this website long enough to know that if you want accurate answers, you need to specify the country involved, or, much simpler, just fill out your timeline.  Without specifying the country, you will get answers that may be accurate for other countries, but completely wrong for you.
