Hello,

I hope everyone is well. I have a question. So I'm trying to get addition information about filing K-1 Visa. I've applied K-1 Visa for my fiance in the Philippines and it was approved last month. I also received an email the other day stating that my fiance is now eligible to apply for interview. I'm already organizing and preparing my documents to send it to her before her interview. I am worried because I feel like I'm missing any other information. Later today, my fiance was asking me what is DS-260? I am not sure what that is. Can someone please give me some advise to help us prepare for the interview and tell me what is DS-260? Anyone's respond is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

The DS-260 is the immigrant visa application.

For the K-1, you would need to complete a DS-160, a non-immigrant visa application: https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/

Have you read the Guides?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Thanks for the info. Do I need to complete the DS-260 before the interview?

Yes, I have but the DS-260 wasn't even mentioned so this is the only one I'm not familiar with.

Read the comment again from teeak, the K1 requires a DS160 that is filled out online by the applicant and yes, of course before the interview.

Follow the link provided.

No, the DS-260 is only for immigrant visa applicants.

You will need to complete the DS-160 prior to the interview.

You can download the K1/K2 Interview Preparation packet and read the instructions.

DS-260 is not used with the K-1 visa. DS-160 is used.

See the flashing red arrow below in my signature? Follow that, there you will find details on what is required to complete the K-1 visa process.

For what is required, always follow the embassy instructions letter http://photos.state.gov/libraries/manila/1178798/feb2015/K1-K2%20Applicant%20Interview%20Preparation%20Instructions%20-%20English%20_February%202015_.pdf

For questions relating to the process in Manila, jump over to the Philippines forum: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/129-philippines/
