You were denied K1 on what grounds?
And do you intend to redo the K1 process again or you're gonna get married and do the spousal process?
The latter makes your case more genuine though

LegitBachelor:
@Sisiorente, I'm so sorry for the delay. Perhaps you would have scaled through if it were another consular officer that isn't very thorough. But God knows best. Maybe this happened to prevent you from encountering something dangerous.

What I dont understand however is why the consular officer said your only option is through Spousal Visa. Based on what you just said, you can still apply using either Fiancee or Spousal Visa after obtaining the divorce document from the court. After all, you are not yet married to your man. But if you guys are married OR plan to marry outside the United States (bride price payment and/or traditional wedding), then your only option is Spousal Visa.

However the final decision is yours and your fiancee to make. Both Spousal and Fiancee visa has its pros and cons.

I wish you the very best. This is not a denial but a delay. Gods Grace.

Drenimarcus:
Omg! I am so sorry! Nah you ain’t the odd one, don’t be negative. Stay strong please. Were you asked for additional documents?

LegitBachelor:
Your Fiance. But if you guys also used a joint co-sponsor, then it should be filled by both your fiance and the joint co-sponsor. The party(ies) filling the form should include tax papers along with other documents as stated in the affidavit form.

It all started with a 3am wakeup alarm. Bath the babies. (My son had his shower yesterday night so it was easy for us this morning as he just brushed his teeth, rinse his face and dress up so as myself and my mum.

We left home around 4:24am and got to the embassy car park around to 5am. (The car park opens 5:00am ish.)

Waited at the entrance till around 7:00am before they started calling non immigrant /immigrants in.
We were scanned at the point of entry before going in and were directed to the computer section and are given nos.

The officers directed us in and were called upon to submit my documents
1. Passport
2. DS 160

4. Birth.cert. (copies)
5. Tax

LegitBachelor:
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.

Worriedgurl:
I don't have that on my appointment confirmation page. How long did it take the Embassy to respond to your email to rectify that? Secondly, is it my fault for not having the DS160 bar code on my appointment confirmation page?

Worriedgurl:
Please what code are you referring to?

LegitBachelor:
@Sisiorente, it's usually takes them 1 week to respond. However they usually send an automated response immediately you send the mail. Did you get the automated response? If you did then just hold on for 1 week or less, you'll get a response. And it's the same procedure whether for citizen or non-citizen.

You can go ahead and book. You've already filled and submitted your DS-160, you have created your ustraveldoc profile and have even filled in your details. So go ahead and pick a date asap.

Worriedgurl:
Go ahead and schedule your interview immediately, then have your fiance email the embassy requesting for k1 packet. They give prompt response to emails from their citizens.

LegitBachelor:
This is the reason why I always recommend people wait for the embassy to mail them before scheduling a date.

Scheduling an interview date before being communicated by the embassy is a form of gambling and has its pros and cons.

Well, no cause for alarm. Just don't panic. It should be resolved. First of all, have you tracked your casefile to know where it is? Do you know your case number? If you do, use it to track your casefile via the site: www.ceac.state.gov . If you've confirmed that your casefile has been sent to the embassy, send a mail to the embassy requesting to know the status of your casefile, you'll have to provide them with your details along with your fiancee's such as case number, passport number, full names, date of birth, etc. It usually takes them a week to respond. I'd they don't respond, just go for the interview with all your documents and hope for the best. At worst they'll ask you to reschedule. You won't be disqualified.

Regards

LegitBachelor:
Please stop typing in caps lock. It's very disrespectful and even against the forum rules (Rule 11).

To your question, there's no problem if your birth certificate has only two names. My original birth certificate also has just two names. However I advice you also get a birth certificate from the Nigerian Population Commission (NPC). I hear that document is useful especially when you are in States.

Worriedgurl:
Sisiorente, you do not need to fill a new ds160 form. you did the right thing by entering your receipt number. Keep checking for avaliable interview dates and make sure you schedule when the calendar opens. If you keep waiting for the embassy, you'll wait forever.

LegitBachelor:
You will have to fill a new DS-160 form. However I'll recommend you wait till you get an email from the embassy before you can proceed. You may need to send a mail to the embassy requesting for update. Also if you've not gotten a mail from NVC, you'll need to call them to give them your email address so they can inform you via mail that your casefile has been sent to the embassy.
