For the question do you have any immediate relatives, not including parents in the US, shall I put my fiancee as my relative? (Yes, I know it says on the right-hand side that "fiance", but some people in this forum said it should be "no", which is a bit confusing what is the right answer for this).

For the question about the person/entity paying for your trip, shall I put SELF or US Petitioner on a K1 visa? (Since the petitioner files the I134 form and sponsors beneficiary, should it be the US petitioner then?)
For the question have you attended any educational institutions at the secondary level or above? Do you list all your previous education you attended in descending order? Or only the most recent one where you graduated? (Again this question got answered differently by many people)

It's been too long since I filled mine out to remember exactly what I put, but this is how I remember it:

 

Immediate Relatives:  You can answer either way.  Personally, I would say your fiancee is a future immediate relative, not a current one, so I would say no.

Paying for trip:  I bet you already know who is actually paying for your trip, whether that be you or your fiancee.  Just put whoever is actually buying the ticket.

Educational:  List anything from high school and above, most recent to oldest.

Regarding previous work experience in the last five years.

I don't know if anyone encountered this problem but I can only add 2 job positions and it doesn't let me add more. Did anyone else have the same issue?

Also, do you translate the address from your national language to English? Like g. (in national language) to st. (street in English).

Thank you for the help. I thought like something was wrong with my application. Also regarding this question:
DS-160 Part Additional Work/Education/Training Information Q: Have you resided in any country/region for six months or longer since you attained 16 years of age?

Do you have to write your national country where you were born as well?

Reading the question, I think you should. I believe I wrote mine as well if I can recall correctly but I knew I had to get the police certificate for it anyway

Hello,

When you schedule the interview, what is the case ID and the priority date? Is case ID the number on NOA1,2 from USCIS or case number from NVC?

Does anyone know where can I find the priority date? I heard it is in the NOA1 when USCIS received the application. Is it correct?

Case ID is the case number from the NVC, right?

K-1 visas technically don't have a priority date.

i believe we used the NOA2 approval date

case ID should be the NVC case number

Hello,

Regarding medical exam. Is it okay to have a medical exam a month before the interview? Or is it preferred to have it as close as possible to the interview? For example, won't it affect the process when I file for AOS? I heard that many people had to redo the medical examination.

Hello,

 

I got a question if beneficiary can beneficiary change job position and have a temporary job before he leaves to US or before the interview after filing DS-160 or will that require beneficiary to submit a new DS-160 after already booking an interview?
