Got the appointment letter finally -)

 

Should I feel happy that I got interview letter from consulate???

or

Should I feel sad that I am unable to schedule appointment in their new site usvisascheduling.com????

 

usvisascheduling.com (new site for scheduling appointments), lists K1 under immigrant visa category instead of non-immigrant visa category

so, the site expects barcode for DS-260 instead of DS-160 form

now, one needs to go to usvisatraveldocs.com to fill DS-260 form

But the site needs invoice id (provided by nvc) for DS-260 that I don't have.

Now, to add fuel to the fire, the appointment letter that I received from consulate in mumbai instructs to fill a DS-160 because they treat K1 as non-immigrant visa

 

So, should I fill barcode of DS-160 in the place of DS-260 while scheduling visa appointment?

 

Please clear my confusion and help me to move forward.

 

PS: I have sent many emails to mumbai consulate support and still have no response 😶

srimagic, maybe you can look in the India portal (see link atop any VJ page) for people who have recently dealt with the Mumbai consulate, and send them a private message.

 

Meanwhile, I am moving your thread to from the K-1 Case Progress subforum to the main K-1 Process forum, in hopes of answers.

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.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.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

I haven't dealt with a K1 for India lately, but if you have an interview letter that tells you when to go for an interview, why would you need to schedule one on some website?  Please clarify whether you have an interview date and time already.
