US Immigration from France

I had my original interview date in Paris in April but cancelled due to COvid-19. I moved the interview to JUNE, when I suspected they were going to cancelled, changed it to July. Same thing happened, befor ebeing cancelled I moved my appointment online to Sept 2nd. I tried moving the date once more but it says no available interview dates after sept 2nd. I want to know if anyone has had their K1 visa interview in Paris? I know they are under the proclamation, but im keeping this date since I cant even move it. Maybe I will receive a letter this next week of it being cancelled but idk. Is the embassy Open? will they finally let me and my fiance have our visa interview? Its hard to wait.

Hi everyone,

Sorry if this topic has already been talked about, but I was not able to find the answer on the forum...

I just got my canceled-because-of-covid interview rescheduled to next Friday. I'm excited, but since I sent my documents more than a year ago, I was wondering if I needed to bring updated or most recent documents with me, such as bank statements, utility bills, 2019 tax return that I just received, etc (I'm filing under the 3 year rule bc I'm married to US citizen)

Looking forward to reading answers, as I'm a little anxious about this final step in of the process after years of waiting and cancelations due to covid

Hi there,

My fiancee and I have started the visa process at the very beginning of the year, but like many people on this forum, the Coronavirus situation has thrown everything off balance and has made things much harder and uncertain for us.
Faced with issues both familial and financial, we have started to reconsider our options, including getting married in the US through the K1 as intended but then issuing a spouse visa for her back in my own country, and live there together for a few years.
We assumed we would have to file spouse visa if we want to come back to US, which is fine.

Now, as the title states, the K1 is technically non immigrant but is needed to marry with intent to immigrate.
Besides, we may have to prove connection to my country without intent to immigrate which would be hard since.... we filed K1.
Lots of research on our end, but we must admit we are pretty confused at that point, and basically worried about how it could affect our future eligibility for U.S. immigration benefits.

Does anyone know of instances where people do K1 but decide to go to a different country instead of filing AOS, and what the consequences would be (other than needing to go through the visa process again to the US later).

Thank you !

Hi there, we got our NOA2 approved on June 24th (for a K-1 visa), and obtained our case and invoice number from NVC(by phone) on July 27th.

i have 2 questions:

1/ on the phone, the NVC lady said that our case was being processed , though no file gets transferred to (EU) embassies. I m not sure to understand where this puts us at the NVC stage: does this mean that haven t finished uploading our data in their system?

2/ I started to track our case on the ceac website (I obtained an application number already but haven t started to fill in any data yet). Yesterday it said At NVC . Today It says No status ...what does that mean?...

thanks for your help!

So we obtained our case and invoice number from NVC by phone today! (Found out it had been allocated on July 27th)

I understand from the PDF file Provided on VJ that we can start filling the DS-160 file. It s good to have things to do, to feel busy while waiting for the next step! Makes for the current context to be a bit less frustrating, despite the fact we know no cases are forwarded to embassies at this stage. Great PDF file by the way, so useful!

@Greenbaum Would you mind to send me the P3 for Paris embassy please?
