    Cameroon (Yaounde Embassy) K-1 Packet 3 instructions

    in Africa: Sub-Saharan

    Posted

    Currently, there is only one approved physician for the medical- He is in Yaounde, and the fee is 100,000 CFA.

    Here is a link to a site describing how to get the Police Clearance in Cameroon: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/fees/reciprocity-by-country/CM.html

    I thought this might be useful, these are the instructions from the Yaounde embassy for the K-1 interview:

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    The Consular Section has received a petition from the Immigration and Naturalization Service entitling you to a K-1 (fiance(e)) non-immigrant visa classification as an alien proceeding to the United States to marry an American under the provisions of section 101(a)(15)(K) of the Immigration and Nationality Act - as amended. In order to prepare for your interview appointment with the Consular Officer, please read and follow carefully the instructions below.

    1. Fill out the DS-160 online application available at https://ceac.state.gov/GENNIV and make sure you print out the confirmation page and bring it with you on the day of your interview. This is also required for each applicant, if you are applying with children.

    2. Passport(s): Each applicant must have a valid passport to travel to the United States. The passport must have at least six months validity beyond the issuance date of the visa. Obtain a photocopy of the biodata page of the passport.

    3. Photograghs: Obtain two color passport size photographs (50x50mm) for each applicant. The photographs must show each applicant’s full face without a head covering, against a white background.

    4. Birth Certificates: Bring the original birth certificates and two photocopies for yourself and any children eligible to apply with you.

    5. Marriage Certificate: If you were married previously, obtain a copy of your marriage certificate and a copy of the divorce or death certificate to prove the dissolution of the each prior marriage.

    6. Certificate of Non-Conviction: You must also obtain a certificate of non-conviction for you and each accompanying child over the age of 16. In Cameroon, the certificate is issued by the High Court, not by the police. If you have resided outside Cameroon continuously for a year or more, you should obtain a police report from the country of residence.

    7. Evidence of Support: Have your fiance submit an affidavit of support using Form I-134 (available at: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-134.pdf). The recent yearly income tax returns (generally 1040/W2) should be attached.

    8. Medical Report / Examination: Arrange for a medical examination with any of our panel physicians. The report will either be conveyed directly to the embassy or handed over to you for onward submission in a sealed envelope. A medical examination is also required for each minor child who will be applying to accompany you to the United States.

    9. Evidence of Relationship: You have to submit secondary evidence that establishes a bona fide relationship with your petitioner (fiance). Bring with you documents such as photographs together, emails, letters, phone records, evidence of financial support such as western union receipts, and any other items/documents to prove your relationship to the petitioner.

    10. Application Fee: The application fee is $265 per applicant. The fee (or its CFA equivalent) should be paid in cash on the day of interview. You may call the embassy on (237)2220-1603 to confirm the prevailing exchange rate.

    11. You should bring all of the above documents, including the confirmation sheet(s) of the DS-160 with you on the day of your interview appointment.

    12. Obtaining an Appointment: You may email us on: consularyaounde@state.gov or call us on 2220-1603 to request an appointment for interview (make sure you include your case number and case type in any email communications with us).

    I would really like to hear about anybody's experiences relating to interviews or questions during the interview.

    Thank you so much for all of this information that you have posted! I really can't thank you enough it has answered some very important questions I've had. Also could you possibly give me the information on the physician like name and location please? Also when do you set up the appointment with the physician? When you receive your packet 3?

    No, he does not need all of that before the medical he needs it before the interview though.

    Look at the top tab Guides, there you can read about the process after NOA2. I have also put it in here on pages back in this thread.

    How long there is between the medical and interview is specifik to the country, therefore you'll have to ask that one in the country specific forum or look at timelines for people going through the same embassy.

    Thank you so much Georgia!

    Have a question for you guys hope you can help. So my fiance is from and lives in Cameroon but lived in Qatar for a couple years so I know he will need clearance from there as well. In order for him to obtain this he needs to travel to where the US embassy is in Yaounde,Cameroon which is 12 hours away from him. Then he will need to travel to Nigeria where the nearest Qatari Embassy is which really sucks. Due to limited funds he will probably be going by land and boat for this adventure which is a lot. So we were thinking of having him get what he needs in Yaounde when he has to do his medical to save from making two trips to Yaounde and then another for his interview. I have done a lot of reading but still unsure about the total process after we get NOA2. Does he need to have everything gathered as far as his forms and clearance before the medical? If he does he will need to make more trips and start the journey for his clearance for Qatar now. We are trying to get everything done that we can just meeting some obstacles and wanna be ready with everything so when it is time we have everything. Trying avoid delays obviously. How long between the medical and the interview? Thanks in advance for your help.
