My fiance and I received the notice our visa is in ready status at the manila embassy. So she filled out the ds-160 and got that taken care of but now we are confused on where we go to set up her appointments at the (vac) center, medical,interview. we made a account on ustraveldocs.com/ph/en/ and are now at this page and the only options are visa application,feedback/requests,messages. She tried to do the visa application but then when we get to the visa options (K) is not an option. I am lost on what to do. we have waited over a year to get this far. and now even more frustration :( please can somebody help us out. it would be greatly appreciated.

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.

There is no category for K or IR, but there is a category "Other visa".  Can you proceed if you select that?

You might also need to go back a step and select "Immigrant Visa".  Even though the K-1 is classified as a non-immigrant visa, it uses the procedures (including interview) of the immigrant visas.
