Silly question. I looked into the New Delhi consulate website and they have listed K1 under Immigrant as well as non immigrant section. I want to know which category does K1 belong to as I need to send them an email. Please advise. I know that K1 is dual intent.

Thanks.

K visas are non-immigrant visas but they are almost always (maybe always) handled by the Immigrant Visa Unit of US Consulates. Email the IV unit.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...

K-Visas are NON-Immigrant, however they have Immigrant intent so are handled by the consulate's Immigrant visa unit.

K-Visa holders adjust status in the USA from NON-Immigrant to Immigrant.

This is because they are handled by the IV unit, but again K-Visa is NON-Immigrant and uses things like DS-156 (NON-IMMIGRANT) Visa application, I-134 which is for NON-Immigrant, and later files an I-485 to adjust status from NON-Immigrant to Immigrant. Only Immigrants get a Green-card, NON-Immigrants need to adjust status to get green-card.
