NVC ID Required?

[Jonan 4]

Hi All! 

 

So, I have finally paid for the visa fee for my K1 application. I have printed out my DS 160, BUT I am confused with DS 260 and DS 261. Do I have to print the forms before I send in the Packet 3 documents? I tried to log in but ceac is asking for an NVC receipt number, how to get this?

Why would you need a DS-260 or DS-261?

For my interview?

 

Do we accomplish these forms after or before the interview?

Those do not apply to non-immigrant visas such as the K-1.

Oh okay.

 

So DS 160 is good?

Yes.  The beneficiary completes the DS-160.

I have it printed out. So that means I can go ahead and send in the documents for my Interview? Is that right?

I am not an expert on K-1 visas....I defer to others....but you might want to read this guide if you haven't done so...good luck.

I thought I saw someone said Bangkok had switched to electronic submission of documents recently but this wasn't the case back in June. So long as you have you police cert, I-134, single certificate, and DS-160 you should be good to go. Turn around time is generally pretty quick. My wife got her appointment letter within a couple of days of submitting her packet 3 and her interview was 8 days after she got the notice. Her interview was a total of 12 days after she sent packet 3 so she had to travel to Bangkok for her medical within a week of sending packet 3. This is faster than what is typical but be prepared to move quickly if needed.

Thanks a lot! I just submitted my Packet 3 yesterday! Keeping my fingers crossed.
