MT:
Hii folks, please I need clarification to my FIVE concerns as follows:

1]. My case was approved in December and NVC sent me a mail on February 14, 2023. Thereafter, I was thinking I would just fill the DS form, make payment at GTB, do Police Report and wait for my case to get to the Embassy before doing the medicals.

However, according to the letter received from the NVC, I realised that I need to log in into Consular Electronic Application Centre ( https://ceac.state.gov/IV/ ) and both the petitioner and myself will need to upload some documents to NVC and then pay certain fee.

I am confused as I do not think I have seen anyone mentioning this on this site unless I have mixed things up.

Is this position correct?

2] Besides, I realised I need the Case Number and the NVC Invoice ID number to log in into the CEAC platform. The letter sent to me by NVC has the case number but not the invoice number. How can I retrieve the invoice number?

3] How will i know if my application has been forwarded to the embassy and will I get an email when this is done? Will i check the same place where USCIS states that my case has been approved or i will have to check on the CEAC platform?

4] Is it compulsory for the petitioner to file for declaration of financial support. She makes upper 6-digit figure in USD and I am comfortable myself with funds in different accounts. Does she still need to fill this form stating my worth and assets in the form?
In case this is not compulsory, like how much minimum do i need to have in my account as a proof of self-sufficiency ?

5] Can I start the Police certificate and Medical now or it is the embassy that will advise me about the medical?

Can someone please step in to clarify in a very clear term as I am so confused about the process.

which petition do u file

Good day All,
This is just to say a big thank you to everyone esp. Investorteeman and Airboy. Although I am not the candidate, this platform helped me and my fiancé so much! Just reading through questions, positive responses and encouraging words…, cos the pressure of this process is something else, and the long wait period due to the pandemic made matters ten times worse. Alas, he was able to pick up his visa today.

I wish everyone the best, both within the process and in every of life’s endeavor. God bless you all!

congratulations

After 1 year and 2months since I came to the US on a K1 VISA last week I got enlisted into the US Navy as a Sailor at the age of 39 on a 5 years contract , better late than never they say . Keep believing guys, take your K1 visa application seriously, no room for failure, there are tremendous opportunities this country has to offer, there's so much you can achieve here. Nw I can get my citizenship after year of active duty instead waiting for the normal 3years. Above all put God first.

congrats

Yes I got my green card June 2021.
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, Section 328, special provisions apply to those who serve in the U.S. military (active duty, reserves or National Guard) that allow them to file for naturalization based on their current or prior U.S. military service.

I hope that helps.
#Blessings

Hey Guys!!
I benefited greatly from this thread during my K1 journey & It is with great joy to inform y’all that my immigration journey came to an end few months ago as I recently became an American citizen.

N400 Application: June 20th 2022
Interview: August 23rd 2022
Oath of ceremony: Sept 9th 2022
Passport application: Sep 9th 2022
Passport received: Nov 2022

Keep your faith high & don’t be discouraged with all the trials. Help is on the way. #TrustGod

Happy Holidays!

just like yesterday oooo congrats
So the three years rule start counting when u get married or 3 years from the date of GC issued after aos

Mosaic0008:
Good afternoon,

On this page, please which option do I select?

K visa

Mosaic0008:
Thank you so much i’ll make sure to print it out.
For the ds-160, After receiving the case number, I did fill it and submit it already will that be an issue?

NO

olamitunposi:
Update!!!

Work Authorization approved and got my card June 28 2022, got a Job offer in September at one of the top pharmaceuticals company in the US.

Adjustment of Status for Permanent Residency approved with no interview December 21 2022. (We filed everything ourselves from K1- i485 without getting a lawyer)

Bottom line, come prepared to the state, know that it won’t be easy and everything will take time before eventually falling in place for you, surround yourself with people that are informed and make your own research.

Lastly, do your best and leave the rest for God to handle.

Thanks to everyone that has been a part of this wonderful thread, I wish everyone a good Christmas and a happy new year in advance. Cheers.

congratulations

Mosaic0008:
Good evening everyone!

I just made a payment for k1 visa fee online at GTbank instead of going to the location to pay, will I have an issue with this payment method please? I later saw where it says that visa fees for K applicants must be made at GT Bank, i'm worried I might have made a mistake

I am the Petitioner, we recently received our case number after sending inquiry and it is currently still at NVC. Are we supposed to make payment with the case number and invoice number we received? if not please where do we apply the case and invoice number?

I also created an account on the cgi federal website but among the visa lists, it doesn't show k1 visa

Lastly, what are the next steps we need to take while waiting for it to go in transit?

no problem paying online just try and print out the approval because u will need it when going for interview
The case number is just for u to track ur file when it get to Lagos embassy when NVC send it to Lagos ur status online will show ready the account u create u will use to pick a date for ur interview
K1 is immigrant
You can start filling ur ds-160 but don’t submit once ur case shows ready u can submit it

Ojebeogene:
Thanks so much sir you always come through. Pls again I was able to get embassy on call this afternoon they said I should go ahead and schedule. So pls what if there’s no date till the 18th does it means they will extend it

if u don’t see date available no problem any available date after d 18th u pick it the embassy knows that date r not available like that
Yes the embassy will extend it

Ojebeogene:
Good morning please my I-797 will expire on 18/12/22 and I have not been able to book an appointment. I have made several efforts to calling the embassy they said I should email my concern and when I do I get an automated message. When trying to schedule appointment at cgifederal.secure. The question ask if I have received any message directly from the embassy and I have not. Pls how can I properly address this issue

just relax ur urslf my I-797 was approved September 2021, it was in June 2022 I went for my interview because I was available that month

Lpnewy:
