DS-261 for K-1?

[NuZayetsPogodi 117]

Tonight I got our NVC case # and invoice #. I went to the CEAC case tracking site, put in our MOS number, and expected to magically appear a page that clearly explained everything I was supposed to do. :-P I see that the packet is still at the NVC (the #'s were assigned only today, so that's not surprising). I clicked on the link that said to follow the 6 steps before the interview, and one of those steps is to choose an agent and fill out a DS-261. I don't remember reading anything about this on VJ and when I looked through the site, it looks like CR-1 folks do DS-261.

Do K-1 filers need to fill out this form?

I also looked into the NVC invoice. It says my AOS fees are exempt and his payment status is not invoiced. Do we just keep checking back until there's a fee?

As I understand, the fees must be paid before the beneficiary can schedule the interview. I felt really confident on the I-129f process and I also feel like an expert on the forms to fill out and documents to bring to the interview, but I'm feeling a little lost on how to sign up for the interview and medical.

The steps don't apply to k1.

Have you checked the foreign country's embassy website to get the real info on what k1s should do? You should follow that. Or maybe go to the regional forum here and get the info you need

Call the NVC 1-603-334-0700, press 1 for English, press 3 for confirm we got your mail. Then you'll give them your USCIS case number (likely it starts with WAC), and if they got your packet from the USCIS, they'll ask for the petitioner's full name, then the beneficiary's full name and birthday. But you can only do this after you've gotten notification of NOA-2, and it takes 1-6 weeks for it to happen.

Yes, I have been following the regional forum and I've also checked Moscow's site. Like I said in my original post, I haven't seen anything about DS-261 and was thrown off guard, which is why I asked.

Seems like sometimes the info will jumble up together, because of the double nature of the k1 (non immigrant visa but with immigrant intent). Ignore the info that doesn't apply to k1s and go from there.

Best of luck
