Hello everybody!

I have been lurking around these forums since we have sent in our K1 visa application back in December and first of all I would like to say most people here, if not everyone, is amazing and really helpful and nice and really supportive, I have never seen an online community quite like it!

That being said, I have a question for you guys, we have come so far in our application and got to a point where all visa information the embassy, NVC, or any visa help site provides shows different information and I am so confused!

Let me tell you our status first so you guys can help me better (You can also check my timeline, it is up to date):

We filled out our I-127F forms way back and sent in evidence and everything and completed the initial application process.

It got forwarded to NVC, NVC processed the application (I got a code from them) and sent it to the Embassy in Turkey (where I am right now, I am the beneficiary)

My fiancee in the USA got a letter from the NVC telling her that the application was forwarded to the Embassy in Turkey.

The last update for my application in the NVC tracking page shows last update was June 23rd, the status shows "READY" and says that the application was forwarded to the Embassy in Turkey.

 

And here is where I got stuck.

The informative documents in interview page of NVC give a really general information that some of them does not apply to me and some of them does, and some other places say that I should be waiting for a package from my embassy? I'm totally stuck what to do in the current situation.

I filled in the DS-160 form and completed it, I got -almost- everything ready for the interview other than the medical examination and couple other things.

Should I wait to register for my application online? Didn't NVC already set an interview date for me that I am -supposedly- going to receive in the package that the Embassy is going to send me?

If I should register for the interview online, which option(s) should I choose? It says "if you do not have this information, stop now, you might pick the wrong one!" so I didn't continue that process.

I also didn't have any luck trying to get in to the Form DS-260 page, what information do I need to enter?

 

I hope you guys can help, I got so frustrated and confused with the information bombardment and when I e-mailed the embassy for help I didn't even get any response.

Thank you for your reply and kind words, it really boosted my spirits and gave me confidence that I am not delaying things by waiting for the package :) 
I hope your process and interview goes well and you will be with your loved one soon!

The information differs because each embassy has a little bit different procedures. In one way or another you will be sent instructions though (packet 3) either by post or email depending on embassy. You can search for the specifics for the Ankara embassy. You can go ahead and fill in the DS-160 though it will ask for case number or similar for which you can use either the NVC number (that you can get by calling them and asking for it or and will also get with the package if you wait for that first) OR you can use the NOA2 number for it - it doesn't matter which. Booking of interview is never done by NVC for K1s only for other immigration visas. The K1 is a special dual intent visa and as such the processing is completed at each embassy and not at the NVC. Therefore how you book will depend on the embassy so again you will have to find out if the embassy in Ankara books it for you or if you yourself book online.In either case you will not book until you get the instructions.

 

You are on the right track! Good Luck :)

Thank you guys for your replies! I have checked the tr us embassy's page for more information, it says I should get an email from the embassy, which I didn't receive one yet. I tried to contact the embassy but none of the two numbers provided in the site can give me any information, they bounce me back and forth telling the other number should have the information about it.
I'll wait for a couple of more days until I get an email from them and see where that takes me.

If I don't get any response I guess I'll try to contact the embassy again....

 

Thanks again :)
