I found the answer! I'm leaving it here in case anyone else searches for the same question. I had to call USCIS twice to get someone that actually knew. For K-1 Visas, you will NOT be assigned a DOS Case Number until you get a green card. Therefore the Verifyme and mye-verify through your USCIS account are not able to be accessed by K-1 Visa holders, even after receiving your EAD card.
-
I went to create my husband his own USCISaccount... except the account never asks you who you are. I'm not sure if you can use the "confirm your identity" section before you're issued a green card. we're still in the AOS process.
-
This actually a really good suggestion, thank you. Yes the account is under my name. I’ll see if I can do that.
-
so this is incorrect for K-1 visas which is what’s frustrating. They do not get this information printed on their visas.
-
So I’m wondering if we should be concerned the site keeps saying it’s not correct? Or if the system is always having issues.

I’m trying to verify my husband’s identity through the USCIS tool so we can do a myeverify. However this requires a DOS number, which is not easy to find for people who entered the US on a K-1 visa. I THINK I finally found it on the print out for his interview back in Argentina. However, when I use it in conjunction with his A number (applicant number) it says it’s not correct, even after making sure I’m using the correct number of digits for the DOS number. Can anyone shed light on this? Am I using the wrong number for DOS? I’ve checked his visa, all his paperwork that’s been sent and I cannot find this if that isn’t the number.

As I've seen happen to others, we received our biometrics screening appointment notification in the mail the day after the appointment. I immediately called and got a friendly person who filed a request for a reschedule and got the the whole "you should hear back from us in 30 days for the reschedule" message. In reading through similar posts, it seems like just doing a walk-in is advisable because we may be waiting forever to get this rescheduled. The only issue is we live 3+ hours away from where the local office is and I can't easily take time off work to take my husband just to get rejected for a walk-in appointment. What are our chances if we just show up? We're through the only service center in Maine if that helps. Thanks!

NVC email vs physical mail
Asackerm replied to Asackerm's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Thank you for the information! That is another item that is unclear. The NVC provides information on what cases they’re opening based on when they were sent from the services centers. And then again they say what cases they’re working on based on what day they opened the cases. But what I don’t quite get is that many visa categories say the time it takes to go from the NVC to the embassy is based on when the embassy has appointments available. Is that the case for K-1s as well? IE, all of our cases may be “processed” by the NVC on a similar schedule but then people who are going to be interviewed by busy embassies may have their cases sit around at the NVC until interviews become available. Is that true? -
NVC email vs physical mail
Asackerm replied to Asackerm's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Yes we got our 2nd notice and are waiting to hear from the NVC. I looked at timelines and it looks like the wait is over a month from 2nd notice to when they “open” our file and, I assume, send the email. -
NVC email vs physical mail
Asackerm replied to Asackerm's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Thank you! This part of the process seems very confusing and the guides skip it. They tell you to contact NVC to get your number but they never explain who gets the “regular” notification and how. -
I apologize if this has been asked before. Searching got me no where. The instructions for when the National Visa Center contacts the beneficiary with instructions say that the contact may be by email or mail. Is there a default? Does it depend on what country the beneficiary will be interviewed in? I’m just trying to prepare my fiancé for how he will receive the instructions.
