Does anyone know when to pay the visa fee? If it’s after filling the DS-160 form?

It depends on your embassy so you need to ask them or wait until you receive the P3 letter. For example my consulate asks to bring it in cash to the interview in US dollar bills.

I had filled out the ds-160 since 2 weeks ago and it still shows up as no status. Is that normal? What does it mean? I had finished up the affidavit of support today and all that I’m waiting for is NVC to ship out my case to the embassy, but I don’t know how long that will take. I’m praying that the case gets shipped soon 🙏🏼

You mean the status on ceac is "no status" ? Have you checked under the immigrant ?

 

Anyways, when you fill up the I-134 form, make sure about the expiration date. Its gonna expire on 2/28, so if your interview after 2/28 then don't forget to update it.

On non- immigrant it says no status and then under immigrant it says “At NVC”

 

I don’t have an interview date unfortunately since my case is still at NVC. So once the form expires, I have to fill out another I-134?

Just check the status under immigrant.

 

Please be aware that even though K1 visas are categorized as nonimmigrant visas, they are processed as immigrant visas.

So, it legally a non immigrant visa, 
processed by the immigrant visa unit/ division at the embassy that is why it is listed under immigrant, 
why is it processed by the immigrant division? Because it has a direct path to a green card unlike other non immigrant visas (tourist, student etc.)

And yes,  once the form expires, you should update it with the new form.

Thank you for all the information! I really appreciate it. I shouldn’t worry about the “no status” then right?

Yup. Nothing to worry about. Just like what I wrote above, k1 is a non immigrant but they also consider it as immigrant since the main purpose of fiance visa is to get married and adjust your status as permanent resident. Just follow the status on ceac under the immigrant. 😊
