The K visa applicant is already scheduled for an interview.

The K visa applicant has already been interviewed and has been requested to submit additional documentation or is pending administrative processing.

The K visa applicant has already submitted a valid, signed, unexpired DS-156, DS-156K and/or DS-230 or received instructions to do so.

Bishop, I don't think we need to do that according to the instruction because we were mailed packet 3 before 10/07. And they already accepted our DS-230

Ok, that sounds good to me.

Did you call DOS today to see if you were. Scheduled for interview?

[Devy and Lynette 46]

OK let me get this correct, is this the form you have to complete after receiving the NOA2?

[Sureshot53 11]

As of 10/07 once your case is received by the embassy this is what you complete online. Replaces DS-230, DS-156,156k and 157. K1 will no longer use DS-260 either. This will only be used by NVC FOR I-130 visa applicants.

Just called DOS and was told the documents qualified on 4th Oct, no interview scheduled yet call back in a few she said should have one by then. Awe talk about patience and no problem. Bway that has been tested with this process. LOL.

Was told the same, only they said sold have one by next weekend. Did the date of your status changed on 10/08 like mine did?

I thought the change in date meant that they had scheduled an interview, but boy was I wrong. Don't know why the date changed.

[Sureshot53 11]

The communication with the Kingston is very poor. You don't even have a number to call and talk to someone live on status of your application. The email option sucks. And the CEAC site don't tell you anything specific about your case.
