Hi all;

I have just created a profile & I am trying to apply for my K1 visa. I can only continue if I choose the 'Immigrant' option.

Is this correct?

Just making sure I'm applying for the right visa incase it's not and I can't get my money back.

Hope someone can confirm with me.

Thank you in advance!

I believe it is also due to completing a Non-immigrant K1 Visa for my DS-160 form but I can't apply for a non-immigrant on my profile. Sooo confused!!!!

Also; I haven't applied for a K1 visa because I'm stuck on this question, the U.S Consulate General in Sydney, Australia on the other hand have gone ahead and scheduled an interview date/time with me via email.

I'm all ready to go but going with other people's timeline; it's way too soon!

It was only 3 weeks after the U.S Consulate received my petition from the NVC. Gotta get my medical, police check, I-134 completed, book a flight out to Sydney all in less than 3 weeks!!! Bring it on!!!

K1 is a non immigrant but essentially a immigrant visa . Your interview will be through immigrant visa department . And when you fill the form out online it's a immigrant visa

sumehra29 is absolutely correct.

The K-1 is a nonimmigrant visa with immigrant intent, so it's handled by the Immigrant Visa units at the consulates.

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01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.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

The answer is in the thread above.  Your success during the immigration process relies upon reading accurately, interpreting literally, and answering completely & honestly.  Good luck to you.
