@stat @Greenbaum I already did online Registration for medical examination for SLEC and planning to go this Monday to do that. While I was filling for the online registration form they asked for the interview date but i left it blank coz i don't have it yet that time that i register for medical exam our status was "In Transit" I don't know if i did the right thing or i messed up . Our status just change today from "In Transit" to "Ready"

Hi. When is your NOA2? how long did it take from nvc in transit to ready?

Say no and explain.

Thank you. I’m having difficulty in filling out the form haha. 

In regards to the vaccination. I don’t have any documents or proof that I have received vaccinations. What should I put on the explanation?

Try going forward after choosing do not know. If it lets you it means it suffice

HI Naes. The “do not know” option is for the surname and given name of my mother. I know her name and date of birth. Address is my only problem. So should I tick “do not” know” under surname and given name? Because when I tried to do that, it doesn’t give me the option to fill out the date of birth and address of my mother. But when I filled out the surname, given name and date of birth, it is asking me to fill out the address.

On the form, you have the option to mark "do not know". You're not the first person in that situation, don't worry

Hi Daniel. The “do not know” option is just for the city and state”. Does that suffice when I tick the box? 

@Naes I have another question (sorry) it is also part of DS-160 asking for my mother’s address. Apparently, I don’t know where she is right now. She left me when I was 3 years old. The last time I know about her that she’s in a province but I don’t know exactly where she is. What should I put her address?

There are lots of cases without online update. As long as you have the hard copy don’t worry about it. You can try the new website maybe it’s updated there(but it really doesn’t matter so don’t worry)

I see. And should we start calling nvc for our case #?

You will be fine!!  My SO had 2 visas denied!! First a business visa and then a travel visa and we were approved for our K1 last week!!  Just ALWAYS be honest and you will be OK I promise!

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Just say "Unfortunately, it was denied by the consulate" at the end

Got it. Thank you Daniel

1 minute ago, Naes said:

Yes, just don’t write petition as that’s a whole different thing and could be misunderstood.

Got it. Thank you Naes. 

Oh by the way, I have check the status of our petition and still says “case was received”. We have received our NOA2 last April 26 dated April 23 on the paper. I’m just wondering why.

I'm sure you will be perfectly fine. Just be honest about it. Remember you're doing things the RIGHT LEGAL way. I feel like there will be no red flags for you with complete honesty and you've made it this far. Relax and breath. We're almost to the finish line!

3 minutes ago, Naes said:

Girl you’re right, we both been boiled hard enough in this mess.. trust in yourself 🤣🤣

 

but yes if there was a refusal of tourist visa, you should say yes and explain the situation. Don’t worry most tourist visa denials are due to not having enough ties and I don’t think this has any affect on k1 no need to be scared.

Omg!! You guys been such a big help. 

Hopefully this is not gonna be a red flag for us. 

Just now, Naes said:

Visa is not a petition. 

I’ll change it to application?

Just now, Daniel P said:

You were refused a U.S. Visa so I'd put yes and then explain the situation. I don't think it'll be a big deal

“My fiancée and I planned to visit his family personally in United States 2 years ago so I applied for a U.S. Tourist visa last November 2016. Unfortunately, my petition has been denied by the consulate.”

Is that okay? 

6 minutes ago, Louize said:

There’s this Question on DS-160 saying “Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, or been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the port of entry?”

 

My fiancée asked me to apply for a Tourist Visa last November 2016 to meet his family in the U.S. unfortunately, my application has been denied. Should I answer “Yes” and explain that our plan is to meet his parents?

@Naes please help. 

4 minutes ago, Brittani said:

I would think you would put yes since they denied you the tourist buuuutt my lovely friend @naes would be best to ask

@Brittani

thank you so much. I’m so scared right now.

I retyped it but it was word for word what the first one said. In short, yes just change the date.

Thank you. 

4 minutes ago, Naes said:

You can either re-affirm it with on top of the old one with date and sign or make a new one with embassy address.

 

we did the latter, as it was simpler.

2 minutes ago, Brittani said:

I basically used the exact format/words and just put a new date.

 We should just change the date right? @Naes @Brittani

I need help regarding the LOI. 

Should we still use the same LOI that we have submitted when we applied for K1 visa and just change the date for the interview? Or should we also change the address of embassy’s local address? (Beneficiary’s country)
