Immigrant Visas

K-1 What to do once you have obtained all documents

Overview

1. Mail or Fax the Applicant’s Statement on the Instructions for Fiancé(e) Visa Applicants (pdf) to the Immigrant Visa Section. Fax 069 – 75 35 22 60.

2. The Consulate will complete all necessary administrative processing of your immigrant visa application. You may be requested to provide additional information if you have incomplete or are missing documents.

3. Approximately one month before your scheduled interview appointment with a consular officer, you will receive an appointment letter containing the date and time of your visa interview along with instructions for obtaining a medical examination (pdf).

Do not send any documents to the Consulate unless requested! You will need to bring all your original documents, or certified copies, plus one photocopy to the immigrant visa interview.

The Consulate cannot guarantee how long it may be before you are scheduled for an appointment for a visa interview. Please notify us if the circumstances of your application have changed:

• Change of address;
• Change of Marital status;
• Death of petitioner; or
• Birth or adoption of additional children

Notification of Applicant Readiness

You need to notify the Immigrant Visa Section that you are ready for an interview by using the Applicant’s Statement on the Instructions for Fiancé(e) Visa Applicants (pdf). The form indicates that you and your family members (if applicable) have obtained all the necessary documents for the immigrant visa interview.

Medical Examination

You may now schedule your medical examination (pdf) appointment. Please be aware of the vaccination requirements (pdf); you and all accompanying family members need to bring you up-to-date immunization records with you to the medical examination.
