US Immigration from Wales

Hello,

I booked my K-1 interview for London Embassy back on the 2nd of June to take place on the 1st of July.

However, on the 18th of June, I received a letter from London Embassy stating that they are in receipt of my approved petition in support of my K-1 visa application, and it gives the link for instructions on preparing and scheduling my appointment.

This is, apart from the date, the extact same letter I received back in February 2020, just before the Embassy closed due to the pandemic.

It may be because it's a default letter sent or something after the restarting the review of application processes, etc. and it's been such a long time and my application was automatically resumed or revived or whatever? Or it was sent in error and I shouldn't take too much notice (but I'll bring it along with me anyway)? Or, more concerning, is that this was sent instead of a confirmation letter for my appointment that I'm still awaiting to come through the post/e-mail inbox?

Has anyone else received a second such letter before? I've contacted the Embassy, but I'm yet to get a reply.

Thanks again.

Hello,

I've an interview for my K-1 in London coming up and on my document checklist that I was sent by the embassy, they require I bring along an affidavit of support Form I-864. However, I thought that form was for adjustment of status and that I-134 was for K-1? I was also told by an immigration lawyer (of a very respected immigration law firm in the US) that an affidavit of support is not a requirement for K-1 (though it is often submitted) - which seems sense to hold truth, since K-1 is for marriage to a US citizen in the US and does not give right to permanent residency, only as a way for adjustment of status to permanent residency, etc. (i.e. there is the possibility of married couples through K-1 not staying in the US, but moving back to the beneficiary's home country straight after). I cannot see why an affidavit of support is a requirement for the interview stage, especially before another affidavit of support is required at the stage of adjustment of status.

As my fianc e, the US citizen petitioner, is not yet an immediate relative or spouse, the wording that they give seems to be for other K visas, spouse visas and immediate family visas: "submitted for immediate relative and family-based applicants". The link to the page, in which this is found, is the following: Appointment Notification | U.S. Embassy & Consulates in the United Kingdom (usembassy.gov) - this is also the page stating that Form I-864 is required (there is no mention of Form I-134).

So, could anyone please clarify which it is for the K-1 interview: I-864? I-134? Or neither?

Thank you for your time and assistance!

When attending K1 visa interview at the embassy - do they already have the evidence of a relationship submitted with the initial petition?

My fiancee and I have been together 15 years and we have a child - we submitted substantial proof of this with the initial petition (15 years of photos!, flights, joint banks, mortgages, etc). Will they have all this to hand at the interview or do I need to collate copies of it all and briing it with me?

Apologies if this is answered elsewhere (search didn't really help).

Hello,

I've been trying to contact the London Embassy via their online contact form on their website.

However, I'm not able to find it anymore, and searching doesn't seem to come up with anything.

Does anybody know whether they have taken it offline or have moved it elsewhere, please? It seems sneakily done, and there doesn't seem to be a message to say that they've removed the page.

Thanks!

EDIT: Scrap that. I'm sorry. I did eventually find it in the end... so this post can be deleted now. Thank you anyway.

Hi,

I am about to begin completing the DS-260 form and seen from the exemplar form there is a question on previous US visas. I was issued a J1 visa back in 2012 to work at a summer back, however due to a new passport I am unable to get the date it was issued and the visa number.

Anyone know how to reacquire this information?

Thanks
