You are fine. I also had similar issue when i was trying to Schedule a date in October 2018. My petition was to expire in January 11 but the earliest available date was January 22. So I picked that date (January 22) and went for the interview prepared. I also sent the Embassy an email to tell them I couldn't pick any other earlier date.

My petition validity was extended without me even knowing. It was when I got my Passport that I saw the extended validity on the Visa Stamp.

My Visa is to expire April 2020, however I saw a part stating PET Extended to Feb 16 2020. I intend traveling first week in January and our wedding is Feb 14, 2 days before expiration. Will the petition expiration affect any other process?

@sharpman pls i hve already gotten a appointment date (scheduled) but yet to submit the ds160 form,heard the barcode number that comes after submitting the form must tally with the appointment letter, is it true in this my kind of case can u pls shed more light on it?also the number on my appointment letter comes with both numbers and alphabets..if it doesnt corresponds with each other what can i do in this case ?thank you

You have to complete the DS 160 form. The confirmation number on the appointment letter must tally with the number of the just concluded Ds160.

I believe the confirmation number you have currently on the appointment letter would be that of your previously filled DS 160 form.

In order to rectify, u will need to call them giving the new confirmation number of the just filled DS 160 form. As soon as it is rectified, u will get a mail from them.

No it won't.

Once you get into the US....all you need to do is get to the US before the visa expires, get married and file A0S within 90 days of US entry.

Guys, I'm now in the States

I entered the States (Dallas Fort Worth) with a one way flight. Was anticipating having issues with the airlines and was ready for them. Was ready to lecture them on what K1 Visa means, lol. But I didn't have any issues at all.

I made sure my medical envelope was in my backpack. When we arrived, I was directed straight to the CBP guys who took the envelope and tore it right in my very eyes. I was directed to a room to wait. I met like 5 guys there. After a while, it was my turn and they gave me back my passport along with a yellow form (I think it's for agric quarantine) and took me straight to the luggage section where I'm to claim my luggage. Was told to go straight to the agric section once I get my luggage.

Luckily my luggage was not searched. Was only asked if I came with fresh seeds which I said no. I only had processed food which have been partly cooked and/or grounded. So they just passed my luggage through an X-ray machine and let me go.

And that was it! My finacee was waiting for me on the other end. It was so emotional for me.

Thanks guys for the active participation. I promise to still keep in touch. This visa journey is a continuous one. Will always keep you all updated. I enjoin us to do the same too.

Regards.

@@legitBachelor this got me abit teary when you wrote your fiancee was waiting for you at the other end and it was emotional.. awww .. bless you duos

If u have sent a mail to support-nigeria@ustraveldocs.com , you may send a warm reminder to them.

I would suggest since it is weekend already and they wouldnt be opened tomorrow also cos of the public holiday, that u send a reminder via mail and also call them on Tuesday morning. (01-2278955).

As for the second question, Can u see any DS-160 confirmation number on the appointment letter? I am a bit lost here.

I know you have nothing to do with the Appt- ********- ***.............. and also the UID: ******** except being asked for during the call.

It is the confirmation code which is a 10 alphanumeric code(AA00*****S) that is needed to be changed to the one on the just completed DS-160 form.

P.S : during the call, they would request for your case number: LGS**********.

That's the reason why the ideal thing is to complete and submit the DS160 form before booking an appointment date.

If she had filled a DS160 form in the past, it would have automatically been linked to that and she would just need to call them to change....but I guess this is her first DS160 form.

Glorioussugar:

@Glorioussugar,

He won't be allowed into the Embassy because he hasn't been scheduled for an interview, and you don't need to submit his Passport.

Though you can mention it to the CO that he's visiting & actually waiting on you outside, to encourage you in the process.

Glorioussugar:


Affidavit of support, pay stubs, spinsterhood certificate, reciept of our ring, payment reciept of our wedding hall, invitation card, call logs, chats, pictures, Birth cert, medicals, police report, is there any other thing to go with? Mekusa said I should print email asking for extension, and the reply from them also.

There's also the need to go with the letter of marriage commitment from you guys within 90 days. I also recommend you go with the documents your fiance submitted in the i129f along with affidavit of support supporting documents (eg copy of fiancee birth certificate, international passport, tax returns, bank statement, employment letter, etc). You can also go with documents that supports what you filled in DS-160.

Glorioussugar:
Please if my fiancé goes with me for my interview, can I submit his passport along with mine?

Well there wouldn't be need to ,but go with it and if u are asked about how many times he has visited u can tell them and also say he is waiting for u outside and in that process u can just bring it out and show the CO by the glass ,he might not even look at u or look at it all u need to do is mention it.

@capello1 I know of question 2, the immigration/customs at the dubai airport are not your port of entry ooo they are dubai immi&customs,your own POE is the US immigration officers at boston your final destination,dont know if you are on a k1 visa or not but if you are dont give them your k1 packet envelope oo ,if its being tampered with there or opened there,it could poise serious P for you or you could be turned back at POE (boston)God forbid..
The other question our elders in this forum would answer it ..cheers

Note: This is not specifically for you as the situation is in the past. It's for those that will apply in the future.

I don't understand the excuse that it was difficult getting a date so people book interview dates before filling the DS160.

While waiting for the interview dates to come up, fill the damn DS160 and submit. After that create your profile on traveldocs if you don't have one, pay the visa fees and then wait for interview dates to come up.

I don't understand waiting for weeks to get interview dates before filling the visa forms. What was the waiting time used for? That time meant to be used to fill/submit the form and ask questions on any part if the form that is not clear.
