Greetings,
My fiance and I are approaching the end of our K1 Visa Journey and I had a few questions about the steps leading up to the Consular Interview since I don’t want to mess anything up.
What we have so far…
> A completed and paid DS-160
> Paid our K1 Visa Fee ($265 USD)
> A Medical Appointment on the 16th of August at one of the approved doctors
> An ASC Appointment on the 21st of August
> Our Consular Appointment at the Embassy on the 23rd of August
> A Binder with the following documents that we will bring to all of the above appointments…
<> 6 Passport Photos of my Fiance (Beneficiary)
<> 6 Passport Photos of Myself (Petitioner)
<> Fiance’s Passport
<> Fiance’s Certified Birth Certificate
<> Fiance’s Vaccine Card
<> Online consultation of Criminal Records and Judicial Requirements showing clean record for Fiance
<> DS-160 Confirmation Page
<> A Hard copy of Form I-134 Declaration of Financial Support Completed and Signed
<> 2022, 2021, and 2020 of Tax Returns and W2s for Petitioner
<> 1 year’s worth of Paystubs for Petitioner
<> Official letter from Petitioner’s bank showing current balance and average balance for last 6 months
<> Original NOA2 Approval Letter
<> Copy of NOA1 Letter
<> Copy of I-129f Application
<> Evidence of Relationship spanning over 2 years which includes Photos with captions, Hotel receipts, Immigration Registration showing Petitioner visited Fiance in Colombia 10 times, and Airline tickets
Do I need…
Fill out an I-864 and upload/submit it digitally?
Complete a DS-260?
Upload Financial and Civil Documents to CEAC?
Submit my I-134 somewhere ahead of time (Digitally or by Mail)?
To gather and bring any additional documents not listed in the “What we have so far” section?
I am asking these questions because already have our 3 appointments for Medical, ASC/Biometrics, and Consular Interview at the Embassy which puts us at Step 10 (Interview Prep) on the Immigration Visa Flowchart from Travel.State.Gov, but I haven’t uploaded any documents or taken care of any of the items listed in my “Do I Need” section which are steps 4 to 9. My gut is telling me that the flowchart on the Travel.State.Gov is just a generic flowchart and that the K1 Visa differs from this. From the research I have done, I think I only need to complete the DS-160 vs the 260 and have a hard copy of form I-134 along with supporting financial documents vs digitally completing and submitting a I-864.
Any guidance or support would be greatly appreciated! Our interview is at the US Embassy in Bogota Colombia if that is helpful. I plan on updating my profile this weekend with our journey up to this point as well to add info to the database. Thank you!!
