I live in the United States and my fiance lives in Dubai. Our Visa says transit, can we go ahead and schedule for medical and interview appointments or we need to wait till our visa is ready.
@@SurajandYasmin hi did you as petitioner sent a FBI clearance for beneficiarys visa interview? i only saw police clearance or nbi clearance for beneficiary on uscis and state list of requirements.but some people says it is required? do i really need to acquire fbi? thanks
This is awesome guys! Running right behind you on the schedule just got I-129 approval on lawfully today so just waiting on the letter then we will be right behind you!! Will have to see how close our timelines are as we are within a few weeks of each other! Thanks for the information
Thank you so much for posting this video! This will allow me to be sure my fiancee and I gather all the information we need well ahead of time, and that when it comes time to fill out the DS-160, we will not experience any unpleasant surprises. Also knowing the fine points such as if my foreign fiancee has any relatives in the U.S., knowing to select "Yes" for that question could be crucial, so thank you for that. I imagine it would be easy to miss the information off to the right in the sidebar and end up selecting the (obvious) answer which would actually be technically correct, but would actually be incorrect according to the instructions. (I wonder how many people have made that mistake, and what the consequences are of answering that question "incorrectly". I shudder to think!) Thank you also for mentioning that the petitioner in the U.S. can fill out the form for the foreign beneficiary. My foreign fiancee does not have a computer of her own. She only has a smartphone. Although she's quite skilled at using her smartphone, her skills on a desktop or laptop computer and researching things are somewhat limited. On my day off today, I methodically went through the entire video one bit at a time, writing down all the questions and what information I will need to gather and organize. I recommend that other couples going through the K-1 Visa process do the same. Or I guess they can buy the DS-160 Application Template you are selling online for $10 : k1visajourney.gumroad.com/l/DS160Template If it's as informative as this video, then it's certainly well worth the money. Either way, I know it will make it much easier when it comes time to fill out the actual DS-160 application. Thank you very much for this excellent and straight-to-the point video!
You're very welcome! It's always a good idea to be super prepared! It makes me happy to hear the material we created is super useful to you... and I really hope the process goes super smoothly for you too! 🥰
Thanks for offering the tip to find travel history . CBP offers last 10 years of data which is really nice. Happy you shown me the way to find visa number. Good Job guys.
Thank you very mach I m watching all your videos and another my approval and my case shows its ready so I m going to full up the d 160 I wish you all the best ❤❤
1:17 this is incorrect, the DS-160 is valid for 30 days when filling out and saving. After you submit the DS-160 and print the confirmation page, it is valid for 1 year after it was submitted.
Thank you sooo much!! Your video was very helpful for our progress doing the K1 visa. I wish you guys the best in life!!! I had a question, is it possible to use the same photo we used for the I-129F packet to the DS-160?
Thank you so much for this helpful video, but where do we go to pay for the DS-160? There was no information on the page after we completed and submitted it.
Thank you, it’s very helpful I just submitted k-1 visa (DS-160)for my fiancé, my question is I have difficulty paying the processing fee, can you help me how to pay it by using my credit card
I have received my NOA 2 and K1-FTP letter through my email. I am in the United States and me fiancé is Dubai, it says his visa is in transit can I go ahead and schedule for medical appointments and interview.
hey! I'm curious at timestamp 20:13 with the question about attention school at a secondary level or higher: i noticed you only put the college you went to, but not the secondary school. Do you only have to put the highest level you had, and if in that case it is college, you do not need to put the highschool you went to as well?
Thank you so much! :) It took approximately a year from applying to have the K1 visa on hand. However cases are processing way faster now.. so I'm sure it would take half the time if we were to apply now.
Hi,how are you guys?thank you so much for sharing it was allvery helpful. But I have one question,on the work info part,do I need to write all my previous works and so as my educational attainments? Thank you,it would be a big help,for I am also waiting for the approval of my K1 visa God bless!
Thanks for the session ☺️ I have one doubt on previous employee experience field in ds 160 form. For example: i'm currently working in X company having 5+ years exp . Before that i worked in Y company.do i need to mention Y company details? Or can i select NO option for that field?19:23 I hope i'll will receive response on it😊
Good evening, my brother. First, I would like to salute you for your calm and simple style of explaining and conveying information simply. I have a question that I would like an answer to. I am renewing my visa, and in the part related to visa information, there is a question (Have you been ten-printed?), so what is the answer? Yes or no, with all thanks.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤔🤔
Hi! First of all, thank you so much for your videos. The NVC status just changed to "In transit", so I am so excited. I would like to know if the beneficiary must have a return ticket when he goes to the USA with the k1 visa (this is required with other visas as well as with the ESTA) or you can travel with a one-way ticket. And I would also like to know if you can schedule the interview and pay the DS-160 fees before the NVC status is "ready". In Spain, the doctor's clinic that works with the embassy requires the DS-160 as well as an appointment. Thank so much in advance!
Hi! So you only need a one-way ticket. No return ticket is needed. And you can fill out the DS-160 at anytime. Either during the "in transit" stage or "ready" is a good rule of thumb to fill it out :)
Hi i had applied from "mumbai,India location" there is option available for uploading digital photo during form filling,is it possible?Do you have any idea about it?Thankyou in advance
Thank you so much. Since my fiance is from a Latin America country. Does the name of her employer/school/organizations/degrees must be in English or can it remain in spanish?
Hi, thank you for this step. Its super helpfull. May i ask, what the first step to full fill DS? 1. Fill the DS 160 first? 2. Pay first? 3. Arrange schedule? Are u gonna give the step for them? Or not? Thank you
You can do things in any order. The DS-160 will be valid for 30 days. I believe every country has different requirements. We filled in the DS-160 then paid for our appointment fee and then scheduled the interview. Hope that helps.
Noted, seem more make sense about the step u said. Because i found the information they pay first and then submit DS 160. Anyway thank you for the infomation❤️
Hi. you both looks to be in love and both are compatible with each other. You are a beautiful couple. PLEASE LOVE EACH OTHER RESPECT EACH OTHER and you will grow old together. God bless your relationship
Hello! Thank you for sharing this video, so informative and helpful. I just have a question, the website says that microsoft edge is not supported in accomplishing DS-160 and I have downloaded the websites intructed but my laptop won't just download any of it. If you have any idea if using microsoft edge is just fine? Thank you
@@SurajandYasmin thank you! And one more question please, i can start filing out the DS-160 when my case status is ready even when I haven’t personally received the K1-FTP letter right?
I'm not sure there's a specific way to check unless you're actually booking an appointment to see the availability. Just bear in mind there may be cancellations.. so you might be able to grab an appointment rather than have a long wait. Hope that helps! 😊
Should I wait for my packet of instructions before doing the ds160 or do i have to do it 1st for them to send me the instructions? The nvc status says ready but been 2 weeks and no email
Hi again , when filling the travel companions , the questions is “ are the person travelling with you ? My unborn baby will travel with me so do I need to put his name on ? And the seconds question is are you travelling as past of group or organisation? Thank you
Hey so after u get your NOA 2 do u have to do the ds160 in order to be able to make an interview appointment? I'm confused what if your appointment is setup in more that 1 month of a wait time?
Hello! Thank you for this tutorial, it really helps us a lot. I have a question and at the same time worried. In the page of Sign and Signature, there a red box contains the world IMBRA and since we are followinv your toturial we also clicked/choose the box for IMBRA but we have not recive any email that contains IMBRA. Is it okay though? Will it affect our application?
Thank you for your video. At the end of the application, i saw there three ways to get your confirmation page, this include " sending to your email." If someone doesn't have a printer available, can he just send it to the emai,l the confirmation page? Does it work? Has anyone tried it?
Hi! Yasmine thank you for the video it helpful I have a question my fiancé got approved NOA2 there's a time frame until 03/2025 and we don't recieve anything from NVC or case number it's okay to check weekly after 14days. Thank you so much
Hi. Same case here. Have you received your case number? We got NOA2 October…validity until 02/21/2025. I have made 6 inquiry to nvc, i get same reply that they have not received my petition from uscis. I am so worried. I will make another inquiry in 3 days 🤞
Thank you very much for this wonderful video! May I ask, how do you know when your case is ready to fill out this form? Our case is in transit to the Moroccan Embassy, but I’m not sure when we should fill out the form? Thank you!
Hi! Thanks a lot for valuable information and help. Please, could you tell me if the beneficiary also can fill the I-134 to show he can support himself? Thanks for answering me 🙏🙏
This is one of the best videos I have watched. Can someone pls tell me how to pay for the DS-160 after filling it out?? 👌 Do you pay online or at the US Embassy
I would like an average time this takes to fill out. I ask because my paralegal still isn’t done yet, and it was ‘in transit’ on May 21, and I let him know on that day. It was ‘ready’ the next day. He needed a questionnaire answered about my fiancé’s daughter, and she got it back to him this past Thursday. That not being done, and submitted, is holding everything up. My fiance cannot set up any appointments without the DS-160 confirmation number.😞
Hello page Personal Information 1? Where the application ID on the right upoer corner?… As I was reading it the exp date is 7/31/2024?… As of today where Im filling out the form today’s date is aug 8?…. Is this some kind of error?
Good Day! After submitting the DS160 form, should I now pay for the VISA fee? After paying for the VISA fee should I now book an appointment? Thank you!
hello your videos is quite helpful but if possible could you please also share the tips and tricks to apply for police cetificate and medical in uk . its quite struggling phase to apply for it .thankyou.
In the UK you need to get your police certificate from ACRO www.acro.police.uk/s/acro-services/police-certificates and the medical is from Visa Medicals visamedicals.co.uk
Hi there. Thank you so much for all the useful videos you guys have posted! I would like to know how you guys applied for the FBI police clearance? I stayed in America for 1 year (I'm back home - South Africa), and I have no idea how to apply for the FBI police clearance. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
First of all… I would like to thank you guys for doing this. I have followed you since I filled my petition and now on the Ready stage… I filed in May 2024! I felt like the process is going soo fast!!… My question is, my Fiance’s English is very basic and I want to make sure that we dont make mistakes while doing the DS-160 application.. Plus he does not own a laptop (but an ipad) and their internet access is very unreliable in his country…. Is it possible for me to fill this out for and with my fiance?… Thank you.
Mam my fiance is retired he is not working now that why he is not filling tax return now but when he was working he was filling tax return i wanna ask that can we use his last filled tex return with form I-134??
Hello All, I started by DS 160 on March 30th 2024, booked my VISA appointment for drop box. However I haven't submitted DS160 yet, as per google it says its expires after 30 days. I have been updating my DS160 since past month. When I started the expiration date was 04/30/2024, now it says 05/31/2024. Does it mean it's still applicable or do I need to create a new DS160? There is so much conflicting info on various platform. Any suggestions, idea will be greatly appreciated.
I'm not too sure.. as we filled ours out when our case was ready. Let me know if you figure out if it keeps updating the date whenever you log in. My advice would just be to fill out the DS160 when you're near to having your appointment.
Live this tutorial. I yet havent done my ds 160 for my fiance but, my circumstance is a little different she has 2 minor children that are included in the petition. How do I put them in the ds 160? Do I have to make seperate ds 160for each child ?
Hi Actually right now I am working 2 full time jobs but I am only able to put 1 job in present employment. How I can mention 2nd job which I am still working. Can you please help with that
I don't believe there is.. it depends on how long your embassy holds on to your files for... and of course the DS-160 will expire if you fill it out online after 30 days.
@@SurajandYasmin Thank you, apparently we don't know if we can book our appointment or not yet, our case is ready and it is mentioned there that "wait till you have notified with your appointment" also did you wait till you receive anything from the embassy you applied to (like interview instruction etc.) or you just paid and book for medical and interview? I'm sorry for many question, we are literally confused with the process. Thank you!
Quick question After medical exam Do you have to call them to make an appointment for interview or they gonna have to give you when there’s available spot
People usually schedule the interview first and then schedule the medical after. It’s easier to schedule the medical. When I say easier, I mean you can usually schedule the medical next day. The interview is subject to availability.
Hi thank you so much for this video , quick question for the intended date of arrival what if I don't have a flight book yet ? Is it okay if I select No ?
Also, I would like to know how we can get the ID number voice from the NVC to fill the form 260. We got the k1 letter from the NVC and our case is already ready at the embassy. Could you have an idea please?
does anyone know if "country of origin/nationality" means the country you were born, or the one you are citizen of? I moved to a different country than my birth one, but hold both citizenships. so confusing!
Hello,which university address should I use to fill the form?I attended a university which had different campuses and addresses;i.e the MAIN campus has a different address from the campus that I attended.
Hello! Thanks for the video! I submitted DS-160 few days ago, but while I was watching the video now, I noticed that I answered No to that question " Do you have any immediate relatives" . I noticed my fiancée is on the list but he is not my relative (cousin,nephew,etc). What do you advise me doing? Should I start a new application or Will be a problem with submitting two applications? Note: I haven't paid the fees yet and I only printed the confirmation page. Thanks
I'm sure it doesn't matter too much. But the DS-160 guidelines from what I remember counted fiancé/fiancées as immediate relatives which is why we filled it out that way.
Thank you for the information. We just received our K1-FTP and case is in transit, should I wait to fill out the DS -160? And book medical until case says ready
I would wait till it says ready... but you can watch the video and start making a note of all the personal information you may need to fill out this form.

Can someone pls tell me how to pay for the DS-160 after filling it out?? 👌
Do you pay online or at the US Embassy
Hey did you find out how to do it? I’m also at that point but I’m stuck
I would like an average time this takes to fill out. I ask because my paralegal still isn’t done yet, and it was ‘in transit’ on May 21, and I let him know on that day. It was ‘ready’ the next day. He needed a questionnaire answered about my fiancé’s daughter, and she got it back to him this past Thursday. That not being done, and submitted, is holding everything up. My fiance cannot set up any appointments without the DS-160 confirmation number.😞
Hello page Personal Information 1? Where the application ID on the right upoer corner?… As I was reading it the exp date is 7/31/2024?… As of today where Im filling out the form today’s date is aug 8?…. Is this some kind of error?
How to pay visa fee and schedule interview appointment from Thailand?

Thank you!
Hey did you find out? I’m also at that point but I’m stuck
hello your videos is quite helpful but if possible could you please also share the tips and tricks to apply for police cetificate and medical in uk . its quite struggling phase to apply for it .thankyou.
In the UK you need to get your police certificate from ACRO www.acro.police.uk/s/acro-services/police-certificates and the medical is from Visa Medicals visamedicals.co.uk
@@SurajandYasmin thanks we got our nova2 and looking forward to apply police certificate and visa application including ds160
I'm confused what's the difference between the DS160 and DS260?
The DS160 is for us K1 applicants :)
Hi there. Thank you so much for all the useful videos you guys have posted! I would like to know how you guys applied for the FBI police clearance? I stayed in America for 1 year (I'm back home - South Africa), and I have no idea how to apply for the FBI police clearance. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
You actually don't need one for the USA :)
@@SurajandYasmin oh wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate it ❤️
First of all… I would like to thank you guys for doing this. I have followed you since I filled my petition and now on the Ready stage… I filed in May 2024! I felt like the process is going soo fast!!… My question is, my Fiance’s English is very basic and I want to make sure that we dont make mistakes while doing the DS-160 application.. Plus he does not own a laptop (but an ipad) and their internet access is very unreliable in his country…. Is it possible for me to fill this out for and with my fiance?… Thank you.
Yes you can fill out the form on your fiancé's behalf : )
Hello! Can you upload the same photo from your I-129f if it’s been within 6 months?
I would suggest using a new photo :)
Mam my fiance is retired he is not working now that why he is not filling tax return now but when he was working he was filling tax return i wanna ask that can we use his last filled tex return with form I-134??
Hello All, I started by DS 160 on March 30th 2024, booked my VISA appointment for drop box. However I haven't submitted DS160 yet, as per google it says its expires after 30 days. I have been updating my DS160 since past month. When I started the expiration date was 04/30/2024, now it says 05/31/2024. Does it mean it's still applicable or do I need to create a new DS160? There is so much conflicting info on various platform. Any suggestions, idea will be greatly appreciated.
I'm not too sure.. as we filled ours out when our case was ready. Let me know if you figure out if it keeps updating the date whenever you log in. My advice would just be to fill out the DS160 when you're near to having your appointment.
Live this tutorial. I yet havent done my ds 160 for my fiance but, my circumstance is a little different she has 2 minor children that are included in the petition. How do I put them in the ds 160? Do I have to make seperate ds 160for each child ?
Yes it would be separate DS160's I believe
Hi
Actually right now I am working 2 full time jobs but I am only able to put 1 job in present employment. How I can mention 2nd job which I am still working. Can you please help with that
Why it gives me the option you requested to work temporarly in usa? When i did nkt choose this. I chose to visit for cultural purposes
When do you pay for this as i thought you paid on submitting? Thanks, your videos are so helpful
I'm looking for the answer to this... Did you figure it out?
@Rose-jh1qz we paid about a week after submitting. Recieved and email asking to pay. As long as you have paid before the interview you are fine.
You may have answered this question but, when the NVC is at the READY stage, is there a specific deadline to get to our interview?
I don't believe there is.. it depends on how long your embassy holds on to your files for... and of course the DS-160 will expire if you fill it out online after 30 days.
@@SurajandYasmin Thank you🙏
Is there an expiration date for DS-160? How long is it valid? ... What it the next step after filling out DS-160 form?
It's valid for 30 days. Once filled out you can go to the US embassy for your K1 visa appointment
Do we have to upload passaport picture or can we upload pictures later when filling out the form?
Thanks
You can upload it later
The letter of explaining how you met with your fiancée does it need to be typed or only handwritten?
It can be either :)
If living in the Uk as a visa holder what will the answer be for permanent residence?
What do you mean by it’s valid for 30 days ? I did that September and my interview is 19 November is that fine ?? Please answer

Hi, What's next after filling out the DS-160? Thank you!
It will be booking your embassy appointment and preparing documents for your interview :) ruclips.net/video/tl11ySLtNAE/видео.htmlsi=FMRb_WAaMLWHmxKf
@@SurajandYasmin Thank you, apparently we don't know if we can book our appointment or not yet, our case is ready and it is mentioned there that "wait till you have notified with your appointment" also did you wait till you receive anything from the embassy you applied to (like interview instruction etc.) or you just paid and book for medical and interview? I'm sorry for many question, we are literally confused with the process. Thank you!
@@rosecarlisleimperial795 Hii, did you get any help ?? I am stuck here too
Quick question
After medical exam
Do you have to call them to make an appointment for interview or they gonna have to give you when there’s available spot
People usually schedule the interview first and then schedule the medical after. It’s easier to schedule the medical. When I say easier, I mean you can usually schedule the medical next day. The interview is subject to availability.
Hi thank you so much for this video , quick question for the intended date of arrival what if I don't have a flight book yet ? Is it okay if I select No ?
Yes you can even put a date in the future of the day you intend to travel without any booking.
@S.Y_K1VisaJourney ohh okay just an estimate got it.. thank you so much
@S.Y_K1VisaJourney hi guys quick question is it okay if I didnt put my middle name beside my given name?
@@marialiezeln It should be fine. Otherwise you can create another DS-160 form
Para crear la cita , cree mi cuenta con otro correo, no el de mi prometido, habrá algún problema ?
Also, I would like to know how we can get the ID number voice from the NVC to fill the form 260. We got the k1 letter from the NVC and our case is already ready at the embassy. Could you have an idea please?
If you are applying for a k1 visa you are not using the ds260 but the ds160 to apply for the visa
Did you put the documents inside the plastic covers? Are they okay with that?
For your visa interview, yes. You can organize files as you wish
So where do you go to make the appointment?
I have a question, on the question about visa issued previously, the esta is considered a visa? It’s the one for vacation that lasts 90 days
Nope an ESTA isn't counted as a visa
@@SurajandYasmin ok thank you so much
Dear i want to apply tourism
Which option i want to select.
Business or tourism.
Please advice
does anyone know if "country of origin/nationality" means the country you were born, or the one you are citizen of? I moved to a different country than my birth one, but hold both citizenships. so confusing!
Hello,which university address should I use to fill the form?I attended a university which had different campuses and addresses;i.e the MAIN campus has a different address from the campus that I attended.
You can use the address which the university is registered to. I'm sure either is fine
Hello! Thanks for the video! I submitted DS-160 few days ago, but while I was watching the video now, I noticed that I answered No to that question " Do you have any immediate relatives" . I noticed my fiancée is on the list but he is not my relative (cousin,nephew,etc). What do you advise me doing? Should I start a new application or Will be a problem with submitting two applications?
Note: I haven't paid the fees yet and I only printed the confirmation page. Thanks
I'm sure it doesn't matter too much. But the DS-160 guidelines from what I remember counted fiancé/fiancées as immediate relatives which is why we filled it out that way.
@@SurajandYasmin Thanks for the response! Will it worth on starting a new application? Will it matter if I have two submissions?
It shouldn't matter
Would an ESTA count when they ask if you’ve ever been issued a visa?
No... an ESTA isn't a visa... so you'd select you haven't been issued a visa
Thank you a lot that help me a lot❤❤
I am not being able to click the print confirmation!!! What does it mean?
Hello sir, i have query, if you could help me with surname and given name filling in passport?
Can you travel outside us while i129f is in process?
Yes :)
Thank you for the information. We just received our K1-FTP and case is in transit, should I wait to fill out the DS -160? And book medical until case says ready
I would wait till it says ready... but you can watch the video and start making a note of all the personal information you may need to fill out this form.
Sounds good thanks
