Step 1: Complete Petitions and Other Documentation
 
  • K-1 applicants must file the I-129F Petition for an Alien Fiancé with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service in the U.S.
  • K-3 applicants must file both an I-130 Immigrant Petition for an Alien Relative and an I-129F Petition for an Alien Fiancé with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service in the U.S.
  • When the petitions are approved by USCIS, they will be sent to the National Visa Center (NVC). Once the NVC processes the applications, they will be sent to the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juarez.
  • The Consulate will then send a notification letter to the applicant requiring action prior to the interview date for K1, K2, K3, and K4 applicants. 
  •  Fill out the DS-260*  Applicants must fill out and submit the form online. Print the confirmation page and bring this page to your interview.
