Hi everybody

I have my interview for the K1 visa on Wednesday at the U.S. embassy in Ankara/Turkey

a couple of hours ago I received the packet no.4 and I was shocked when I saw they asked for the ((Military Card)) because when we (me and my fiancee) checked the list of required documents they said it's necessary to obtain this document only for the Iranian applicants.

so I'm Syrian refugee living in Turkey and I have no clue what to do?

all I have is the military ID (of course it's in Arabic) and to get something such as military document from Syria is impossible because of the war over there!!!

anyone can help in this awkward situation???? any advice???

If it is the standarded packet four they list all documents that you could need. For example ours said to bring adoption records (we don't have any adoptions in our story, so this isn't apart of the docs we need).

So before you panic too much...

I would call NVC and ask them about it or email the embassy (ankara has a submit email forum, I've used it twice and they were very fast at responding to the questions).

I don't know if it's the same thing but the Swedish embassy asked me for my military records to prove I am no longer serving in the military and that I am not expected to do so in the future. Don't know how it works over there but I just contacted the military here and asked for my records. Are you still serving or did you leave the military?

Since you're filing for K1 you should do the DS-160. DS-260 are for couples who are already married.

no we haven't yet

I think it's either a trick or a mistake and in both cases they have to be more aware

I think they always mention both. At least on the Swedish embassy webpage you'll have the DS-160 mentioned under the info for the fiance visa and then have the DS-260 mentioned on the side.

The ds-260 is an immigration application. The k1 visa does not provide immigration benefits. You and your fiancé will apply for adjustment of status after marriage, so I don't think you should fill this out. I'd contact them about this too, make sure they have everything in your file correct.

I sent them an email to make them correct their mistake, I think they made a mistake or they want to check about our case if is it real?

let's see what their response will be?
