The embassy allowed our expired file because we couldn’t get an interview. So we didn’t need to do anything

Yes! We won’t be content until we see it as “issued” and have visa in hand! The officer said it takes 3 -7 days to be alerted passport and visa are ready for pick up.

It says “Administrative Processing “ currently.

It was good advice for us. Thank you for the good luck and well wishes.

Thank you ! We were advised by our attorney to make all the arrangements so we did. And the officer seemed impressed with these plans and immediately after looking at the receipts he gave the “visa approved “ paper. Status still not “issued”. The paper they gave us states give 2 business days to show changes.

Thank you!!! We had: 1. Wedding cake receipt 2. Justice of the Peace receipt 3. invitations receipt 4. wedding guest list 5. Cake topper receipt 6. Venue receipt 7. Wedding outfits receipt 8. Wedding rings receipt

Our K1 was approved today! interview took 5 minutes and only 3 questions: 1. How did you meet? 2. Has petitioner been married in past? 3. What are your wedding plans? The Officer only asked to see wedding plans documents. The officer was very professional and nice and helpful and made me feel comfortable and less nervous.

Our K1 visa approved today at US Consulate Mumbai. The Consulate Officer was very professional and nice and helpful. only 5 minutes and 3 questions: 1. How did you meet? 2. Is the Petitioner married or been married? 3. What are your wedding plans? Once we got our NOC2 we never heard anything from any agency. No Interview Letter or packet was ever sent. Nothing. So we scheduled our own biometrics and interview and was approved. see our timeline for dates.

Hello. Are there any K1 visa applicants on here using US Consulate in Mumbai? thank you

Thank you !

Yes. We filed D 160, medical is done too. everything but interview and biometrics. btw can you do biometrics anywhere? Like can we do it in Delhi but have interview in Mumbai ? Does it matter where biometrics is done. I know interview can only be at Mumbai.

Yes the NVC sent us a letter stating they sent our file to US Consulate in Mumbai on Jan 18, 2022. Then we have never gotten any letter or email about when to interview. So we scheduled our own online (2/2022) and the Consulate called and said we can’t schedule an interview yet because they haven’t notified us they are ready. So in the meantime our I-129 f expired. So we emailed 5-10-22 the consulate and got this reply:

It expired because I was under the impression we needed to hear from the embassy by email or letter to schedule an interview and biometrics. When that never happened after 5 months I just went online to schedule it myself and googled how to extend an expired I-129f. I emailed the consulate and got a vague reply to contact USCIS for help.

Our i129f expired. We sent the US consulate in Mumbai a request to extend but they said contact USCIS. Every Google search I see state to contact the US embassy to request an extension. Plus, USCIS website has no where to send an email for this type of request on their Contact Me page. There are only certain topics you can ask questions on. Does anyone know the process of extending an expired I-129f in detail and specifics? I see many vague Google responses to the question but no I’ve seems to have a real answer of exactly how to do step by step. Also, anyone have a way to email USCIS with a question and get answers ? Thank you
