Thank you for the sanity check! I also clarified with the support email for the ais.usvisa-info website and they said the same thing. I couldn't find anywhere online that said you have to choose a date before paying, so I was a bit worried 😅

Hey all, our approved case went to the embassy in Lima and they even sent us an email with instructions on how to schedule the interview. I've been trying to do so since Saturday. The problem I'm having is that there is no option to pay for our DS-160. I liked our completed DS-160 to our ais.usvisa-info account and made it through the first two steps, but when I get to the third "Payment" page, it just says no interviews available and doesn't have anywhere that I can pay for the DS-160. I'm confused because the 4th step on the website seems to be there you actually schedule the interview. I've reached out to the embassy and the help desk for the ais.usvisa-info people both of which were of little help. I just want to be sure we're doing this right and this isn't some kind of glitch or something because everywhere I have seen online says that you pay the DS-160 first, then you can schedule the interview. I've tried it on Firefox, chrome and edge, I have tried it in private windows, but nothing let's me pay. Thanks in advance.

Our case just arrived at the embassy this morning per the DHL trick and I emailed the embassy. Thank you for the insight, super helpful!

Hey can I ask how far out did the embassy schedule your interview after they received your application? Thank you!

Thank you, that's encouraging. I sent the entire package as letter sized sheets with everything just printed directly in color on those sheets. I clipped the whole thing together with a single binder clip and put it inside of a simple folder just to protect it inside of the plastic bubble wrap package. I sent both of our Bio pages from our passports and our passport stamps as well as my birth certificate. I did not include any blank passport pages. The package just arrived today, hoping for a fast turnaround, but expecting delays because it's the USCIS 😅🤞

Hey all, I'm about to file our I-129F. At the advice of a lot of people on reddit we followed the S+Y K1 Visa Journey videos. I have met my fiancée 4 times in total, all of which are within the last 2 years. She is from Peru and I'm not sure whether that's considered a high fraud country, though I'm assuming being in LATAM it is. Our packet shakes out to be about 95 pages organized like this: Passport Photos G-1450 G-1145 Cover Letter Table of Contents I-129F Question 54 supplement (1 page) Photocopy of hers and my passport stamps and bio pages Visit 1 --boarding passes or receipts if boarding passes aren't available --hotel receipts --photos (6 with landmarks) Visit 2 --boarding passes or receipts if boarding passes aren't available --hotel receipts --photos (6 total some landmarks, x2 screenshots of social media posts with photos from this meeting one from hers one from mine) Visit 3 --boarding passes or receipts if boarding passes aren't available --hotel receipt --photos (3 short visit) Visit 4 --boarding passes or receipts if boarding passes aren't available --hotel receipts --photos (12 total spanning 6 months including with her family and mine, her wearing engagement ring and a photo of both of our closed passports with boarding passes sticking out, our names and destinations are visible, but no date). Engagement ring receipt Our letters of intent Is this too much? If Peru is considered high fraud I would think that I should front-load evidence, right? Our service center should be California. Thank you so much in advance, this website is an incredible resource.
