I have a couple questions: 
1. On the I134 form for the Affidavit of Support, what did you guys put for the Alien Registration Number (A-Number) (if any) on Page 2, Part 2 on Information About the Beneficiary?  
Did you put the A Number that appears above the beneficary's name on the NOA2 approval form?  There is a A-number in the 'BENEFICIARY' box.  Are you guys using this number anywhere in the I134 form?
 
2. I heard people were checking "Yes" on question 38 and then putting on Part 7 "N/A K1 VISA APPLICATION."  Is that what you guys are doing?
 
Thanks!

Just an FYI - if you meet the income requirements, you can chose to not include bank accounts and other assets.

Okay. We had the interview last week. I filled out the new I-134, and checked "yes" on question 38, then provided on Part 7 "N/A K1 VISA APPLICATION." There was no issue with the paperwork, so it was good!

I posted this on the London K1 thread - but it might be useful for medicals in other countries too...
 
Although i had my most recent Tetanus jab within the past ten years (and had this on my record), I didn't have evidence of my previous tetanus jabs as my doctors only have records for the past ten years (I think this might be when they computerised them) - so when I went for my medical yesterday I had to have another tetanus jab as I didn't have a record of THREE tetanus jabs.  MY DS 3025 was then signed off as waived/complete - so it was better for me to pay the extra £40 (ouch - as painful as the jab!) than to try to get the evidence from my own doctor and risk having to go through another medical in the US.
 
I had my MMR about ten days ago, my flu jab a week ago, that tetanus at the medical yesterday - and my left arm looks like a bruised pin cushion.
 
I would emphasise that if you have been treated for any condition to which you have ticked 'yes' on the initial questionnaire - make sure that the medical summary from your own doctor includes dates, diagnosis, medication and duration of illness/issue.  My letter was too vague and I have had to go back to my doctor to ask them for full details and ask them to fax or email it to the clinic this week before the clinic forwards my results to the embassy in time for my interview next week.  This is an added stress I wasn't expecting.

Hi Guys, 
 
Update  My interview was last 02/23 and my visa got issued 02/24.. and just today I have my visa delivered.  
 
According to my research visa gets delivered faster if you choose to pick them up in the 2go center in mall of asia.  
must be true. Hope this helps.:)
 
Goodluck to everyone.

Thank you @forena99!! 
Today has been stresfull getting all of this documents done and getting the interview dates! Now we can breathe a little for today haha
Yes! Visa journey was down. I am glad you said that bc I though it was my server haha
I think you are right, the ds-160  name information for contact can be your name or his. They sure make it confusing.
I have a question, when we get the visa, where would I go to buy his plane ticket? Would it be through habanatours? I want to stay in habana for a week after our interview so I can make sure he is good to go. Idealy, or romantically, I hope he can come with me in my same flight back home. But I have no idea how any of that works haha
Great news  that your paper made it safely to Habana!
Yes we will be in Cuba at the same time! I would love to try to met! 
Saludos,

@058rocale
Wanted to congratulate you on your interview date!
I was so busy trying to get ours that I didn't get a chance to properly congratulate you on getting it all done (Plus visajourney was down this morning for a bit wasn't it?).  Thanks for all your help.  I'm glad your fiance was able to sign and submit from his end too.  It just feels better to have it happen that way, though I can see how it can be really hard to do in Cuba.  Luckily, we were able to do it too.
 
BTW, I did you use his info on the Passport info for the Appointment website.  I only used my name as the person who helped and I used my email address so that I would get the confirmation, but because it asks for the name on the DS160 app, I used his info.  Hopefully it doesn't matter either way.
 
Also, my DHL package arrived in Havana today!  Don't think it's at the Consulate yet though...
 
Also, we should be in Havana around the same time for the interview!  Maybe we should try to meet up if you are interested.
Thanks again for all your help.  =)

Hey everyone!
Phew! That was a struggle.  I was able to get my appointment for May 25th Thursday!  
 
1. I was actually able to do it before we submitted the DS160 because I used the application ID that @058rocale said was the same as the confirmation number (which it is).
Somehow I was able to get the appointment.  I took a screen shot of the receipt and saved it, I think I also "Printed it to PDF", but I was never able to go back to that page to reprint it.  Do you have to do it when you get to that page, so you only get one chance?  All I got was a long number.  Is that what we bring to the interview as the 'receipt'?
 
Also I printed the Appointment Confirmation.  That was a lot easier because I was able to save that as a PDF and print it.  It has a barcode on it and the UID.  
 
2. My fiance was finally able to get into the website and retrieve the application and sign and submit.  I basically sent him step by step instructions with screenshots and all for how to do it.  He swears he doesn't have to be the one that does it.  That he interpreted the website @058rocale sent me as meaning that us USCs can totally do it for them, "It says so on the website", he would say.  But he was happy to do it and I told him it would be better if he tried and see how it went.  He had to go to a private internet salon and a really nice lady helped him out and they were able to retrieve and complete the application with my instructions.  Is there something from this process that we need to bring to the interview?  I asked him take screenshots of the confirmation page and he printed copies out of the final confirmation page, but there wasn't a way to save it easily like it was at the end of making the appointment.
 
Do we need the confirmation page from submitting the DS160 application for the interview?  Or do we need the confirmation of the appointment for the interview?
And what page constitutes the receipt?  (all I have is a screenshot with a long number that also says "Your payment has been accepted and your receipt is now valid to schedule an appointment".  
 
Thanks again for all your support and info!

I'm finally feeling a little more excited now that this part is over...like I said, Phew!

Here is the website. I don't know, the more I read it it seems less clear. Having him sign it maybe best

So excited for you two!  I hope to have my date soon too. =)  Thank you for all your info!
 

Hello everyone!!
We got approved yesterday!! This morning I had him go to the internet and submit the Ds-160. He called me through imo and then I guided him through the last steps of the Ds-160. It's interesting that the confirmation number is the same as the Ds-160 application id -.- interesting in an "are-you-kidding- me?!" kind of way haha
So I quickly went to the interview and payment page (https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?language=English&country=Cuba). I had already filled everything out, so I just paid with my debit card (the don't accept credit cards) and got my interview for May 24th!! .
I printed all the confirmation pages (made 2 extra copies and saved them on my dropbox, for emergency access, if needed later on in Cuba)
This next week my fiancee will request the background check and start getting his medical records in order so later on, when I get the new case number from NVC, he can call and make an appointment for the official medical exam. 
We are so excited!!
 

Option 1 is your best choice in my opinion but withdraw before the interview. When you guys are 100% sure reapply again. 
Even though technically you are not breaking any laws by going with option two as long as he doesn't say more then 90 days, it seems a little odd to do that specially if you are thinking replying. Both options most likely will raise questions during interview when you reapply, just be prepared for that.
 
Good luck 
 

Just want to say congrats @forena99 for receiving your NOA2! And thank you to @058rocale and everyone who is sharing so much helpful information here!

Hi there! 
I erased the automatically filled in slots and replaced it with my information. I based that on this step by step guide from this website: http://dennyeyberg.wixsite.com/filipino-am-visa/scheduling-the-interview
It states that this is just so we can track our documents and such. So it can be our information since we can check with the internet more frequently. 

Ok, cool (sort of).  Thanks for the info.  I think I just missed the boat on checking the case tracker.  Didn't get the link until yesterday after all was said and done.  My case said, 'Ready', yesterday.  And DHL says package shipped yesterday too.  
Thanks again and good luck!  Have a feeling yours will happen way before mine, haha!  I'm ok with that though. 
Cheers,
Forena99

Best option I still think as well...
Delay interview date...till last day within your approval timefame.  Do no withdraw k1. Meet with finace before Interview and see if things are ok. Request for extension.

As far as I know yes you can. He would have to go back to his country if ya'll don't marry in 90 days, and then you will have to apply for a K-1 again if you want to get married here in the US. It's the exact same process, other than you'll need the waiver if you'll want to apply for the K-1 again within 2 years of the last. But note, the interview can be harder the second time around.

There really isn't anything THAT different when doing this, just remember, you're open up for a harder interview if he comes to the US, leaves, and then ya'll try for a K-1 again. 

There was a couple here recently who just canceled their interview because they weren't ready yet. They have up until a certain time to reschedule, or else it expires and they have to redo the process.

Good luck at the interview : )

You need to go back and check frequently like I did for my first K-1.  It will say something like "Received", "In transit to ...", "Administrative Processing", and finally "Ready" for the interview. 

Yup!  I made a list and saved it to me Google Drive for access anywhere!  woohoo.
Ok, will get started on registering.
Thx!

Yes, use your email and pwd. And your info as weel. This part is ours as petitioners. 
I'm glad it's helpful! It is a lot of info. 
P.D. remeber to bring you ds-160confirmationn page to the interview, as well as the payment receipt. 

Just got approved!!
 
I'm so excited I can't even focus on what to do now

We got approved. 93 days and I'm crying. I can't believe it. Now I'm praying all the rest gets their approval asap. This long waiting is depressing. 

Helloo! Our case was approved on 02/09, my fiance just called the NVC and they already received our case and gave him our case number. So if you guys got approved on that date you can start calling
 
Tha lady told him they will be sending our petition to Venezuela "shortly"
