What are the exact steps in this? Am I missing something? + will we get in faster?

So my fiancé' and I applied for the K-1 visa back in September, but the application was sent back to us because the amount of the cheque was wrong. We fixed it and sent it back at the beginning of December (we know, we procrastinated too much). The papers were signed by someone before they were sent back to us. One of the many questions I have are since those papers were looked over a long time ago, will our case be pushed forward at all? We got our NOA-1 Jan 2nd.

The other thing I was wondering about, is the entire process. Looking at the flowchart, this is my understanding for the process:

-Send packet

-Receive NOA-1

-Wait for NOA-2 saying application was approved

-Application gets sent to the service center

-Case forwarded to US Embassy

-Embassy receives case

-Wait for NOA-3 (this is the paperwork the embassy sends to you, then you send back after you fill it out, correct?)

-Interview date given

-Medical interview prior to interview, correct? (How far ahead of the interview should the medical exam be?)

-Interview at Embassy

-If approved, move down within 6 months.

The last question is, when the interview date is given and I have to go to the interview, is my fiancé allowed to travel here to go to my interview with me?

I know this is long, but I would reallllly appreciate any information I can get. Thanks everyone!

If your NOA was Jan 2nd, that's basically your place in line. Doesn't matter what you did before.

Fiances allowed at the interview varies from embassy to embassy, check with them. Or check the info here in the embassy section.

It would be easier for people to answer if you put more about yourself on your profile. Like filing location and which consulate you will be interviewing at. Also if you click on that little thing called 'timeline' and put your information in you will get a guesstimate of when your NOA2 should be arriving. When you get your letter from the consulate it is not called a NOA3 it is called a packet 3 and will have all the instructions on what forms to fill out or where to go to download them. But to get accurate info you should do the 2 things I suggested.

No. Your case begins when it is accepted for processing. It was not accepted for processing until you sent it back the second time. The delay caused by your mistake and your procrastination will cost you time.

Time will vary on the USCIS and the consulate workload at the time and varies widely. DO NOT make any plans until the visa is in your hand.

Whether your fiance can attend is up to the consulate, some allow them, others do not. Check with others using your consulate
