Hi, I just found out the interview date for my fiance is in September 2013. First and foremost, I am not too happy with the K1 fiance visa information available on the consulate website. It is soo confusing and had to call so many times. When you talk to the VFS agents, the process gets further complicated. My attorney told me to mail the documents without appointment letter.

I wished the Consulate Office could update it with correct step by step process and keep the information relevant. I was told that you need to wait for the appointment letter, and that you don't need to mail any documents. Just come for the interview, ofcourse with all the documentation and the medical done 1 week before the interview.

Is this information correct?

Thanks!!!!

We are in the same situation. I keep calling VFS and they have a standard response.. please wait for the appt letter. I'm not sure why they can't be efficient. We already invested so much time in this process only to be stuck at the consular stage. Terrible!!!

Our case was completed on July 31st, Mumbai Consulate on August 6th.

Hi, our K1 fiance visa file is received at Mumbai Consulate. However, my attorney informed us to send Packet 3 without appointment letter, whereas the VFS is informed us to wait for the appointment letter. Now, I am not sure whom to listen to.

A couple of questions.

Do you know what address to send to?

What does the Mumbai Consulate, Fiance visa appointment letter contain?

What forms are needed to be sent first. Is Birth Certificate - original also needed at Packet 3 stage? Also, is PCC needed at Packet 3 stage?

When we call Mumbai Consulate, those guys are so confusing. I wish they could take the time to simpilify the process and explain in detail on their website, instead of confusing us further. We have already spent way too much time on this process (almost a year). If we can't bring a loved one quickly, despite being a US citizen, it's terrible to suffer silently.

Once this is all completed, I am ( and we should all ) going to complain about the process of mailing time from one department to another. It's like a fun merry-go-round process from VSC, to Texas, to NVC to Embassy and then still have to wait for months at the Mumbai consulate.

My NOA2 is July 10th. Shipped to NVC - July 24th. I've been calling NVC everyday. No Case# assigned as yet.

My NOA2 from Texas (Transferred from VSC) is July 10th. Still waiting for a Case Number. I keep calling everyday. I am amazed by the efficiency of the whole process. Vermont to Texas, Texas to NVC, NVC to Assign Case#, NVC to embassy. This is how things work in this department... ridiculous.
