Hello,

Please advise if K1 a immigrant or non immigrant. I always thought it was an immigrant visa. Do we fill DS-160 or DS-260 form???

Thank you in advance!

Non-immigrant visa with immigrant intent.

You are going to fill out the DS-160. If you use your NVC case number in ceac.gov, you will use the immigrant part (IV). After you fill out the DS-160, you will get an AA# that you can use in the Non-immigrant (NIV) part of ceac.gov.

Later in the visa issuance process, you will see your IV case number change to NIV at the top of your status. When that happens, your NIV and IV cases will match each other in ceac. Your visa will be issued as NIV, but during the DoS USEM stage, K-1 people will see IV/NIV flipping and flopping.

Thank you for the heads up with the flipping and flopping lol
