Slightly confused

[Cheffheid 0]

As per instructions, I had completed and returned the forms stated in the first part immediately(2x DS156, DS156K unsigned, DS230 Part I and a photocopy of my passport bio page). I had not, however, included the stub for the third part that specifically states "You will not be scheduled for an appointment until you return this form". Since I am still waiting for some stuff from my fiancée, I had not done so just yet.

However, today I received some rather confusing envelopes. The first envelope included pretty much these instructions again(But in colour, awwwriiite!), which didn't really surprise me. What did surprise me were the contents of the second envelope: A letter stating my interview was scheduled on November 7 and instructions for the medical examination and photographs.

I have already e-mailed the Amsterdam consulate(Got home too late to call, unfortunately), but I can't help but worry a bit. Is this kind of thing normal? >.>

I'm eagerly waiting another poster to answer about an interview appointment for K-1 visa. Is it like when we apply tourist visa (which is we can choose the date) or the embassy would arrange an interview schedule for us...

What I understand(or so it says in the first set of instructions, but it may differ per country I suppose), is that:

"After the form has been returned to this office, you will be scheduled for a medical examination and a visa interview at the earliest possible date."

So guess you don't really get to pick. :<

Well, my worries are put at rest. Just got a call from the consulate, which basically comes down to "I simply decided to schedule, because there doesn't seem to be anything strange about your application and we don't really schedule around the Christmas season, so I just went ahead and scheduled a bunch of them".

She also let me know that the I-134 doesn't really have the same kind of evidence burden, and it's mainly to show that you can be supported during the time you are in the US for the wedding.

They are very helpful at the Consulate in Amsterdam

The same happened to me but it all worked out very well.

Good luck with your interview
