We received the I-797 approval a couple of weeks ago. I was wondering how the interview scheduling happens. Do they give you a range of dates and you can pick? Do they give you a date and that's the date you need to show up? We are trying to plan a visit trip for her to come back and see me for a month or two so this information would be very helpful to us. Our approval on the I-797 is valid until 11/15/15

Also - When does the affidavit of support need to be done? Is this prior to the interview? After marriage (for adjustment of status?)

thank you!

*** Thread moved from K-1 Process forum to the Embassy/Consulate forum -- topic involves that phase. ***

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

After you fill out the DS-160 and pay for it online you can schedule an appointment online and pick one of the available dates. As far as I know they only do the K-1 visa appointments on Thursdays and usually the nearest available dates will be in the next month (I scheduled my July 2nd appointment on I believe the 6th of June).

Hi,

No, the doctor down in Malmö retired so the remaining options is in Gothenburg (Kungsportsläkarna) and in Stockholm (Sibyllekliniken).

A tip is to read the reviews about the stockholm embassy, a lot of fellow swedes post the asked questions there :)

Mvh
