You have to wait because during the medical you will be required to produce your interview confirmation page. Also it’s advisable to have your medicals 2-3 weeks before your interview (especially 3 weeks).

Good day everyone

Please I want to know what's happening with those who are waiting to book interview date, does it mean it's hard to get interview now and please I heard to get interview date now could reach like late 2023, someone told me that recently, I want to know if fiancee Visa is still worth it or I should consider spousal Visa.

Please people who have gone through these process should enlighten me abeg oo I heard before now it's 6 to 8 months now am seeing a lot of people saying they filed early 2021 and are yet to even go for interview.
Please I need advice from experienced people here
@airboy and others please help a brother
Re: USA Fiancee (K1) Visa Thread by SmartJac: 6:21pm On Aug 13, 2022
The thing is dicey, earlier in February this year, the available dates were only for 2023 but around March till early July this year closer dates of one to two months period became available in 2022, dates can be available at anytime. Cases differ for each individual and so you can not use the case of someone with Noa1 of 2021 January who just got interview date recently as your yardstick to judge because you don’t know what caused the person delay outside the normal processing time. I know people whose K1 cases got approved from uscis to nvc including their interview just between March last year and July this year. Just stay positive and pray to your God

I don’t think the spousal visa will make any difference or will be a better option to K1 and at times it depends on your best plan as a couple.
Yes the visa interview dates could be frustrating but I think it is quite understandable and requires a lot of perseverance.
I did a little analysis about it and I understood the process a little, you know the US school calendar at the moment is FALL and so many institutions are waiting to welcome their international students from all around the world including Nigeria, so they’re doing more and more of F1 visa interview lately for them to meet up with fall admission process.
Hence, why there are no dates for K1 and the rest for now. There’s this WhatsApp group for F1 visa which I belong and I noticed the embassy is making dates available for them to apply for students visa, so it is clear they wanna clear some of them.

If the embassy do not have capacity to conduct interview for us they wouldn’t have requested our petitions from NVC and the status wouldn’t show READY but my concern is, what if the consul do not extend the four months validity of the approval coz I read someone’s testimony where he said the consul decided not to extend his expired approval caused by unavailability of dates and that was the cost him an outright denial.

Each visitor, including a child, needs their own DS-160. If an applicant is aged 16 or younger, or is physically unable to complete the form themselves, they can be helped by a third party. That person must be identified at the end of Form DS-160, on the “Sign and Submit” page. U can be the third party for ur children

Pls I need information on us spousal visa. How long the process will be and the things required.

It was painful as I was denied my student visa yesterday because I put in the application that my husband is a citizen. All what we thought is we think its a faster means to come to the us aside with the fact that I want to pursue my PhD before. Now I missed my opportunity of a full funding scholarship and TA. Pls anyone that can help with my situation should come to my aid.

K1 takes almost two years so expect Spousal visa to take more than that.
Plus this thread is for K1 fiancé visa so I suggest you check for requirements on spousal visa thread.

Best of luck!!
