What to Send in Packet 3 and What to Keep until Interview?

[~ameriptian~ 54]

I have received packet 3 on September 28th. I almost have everything ready to be sent back, but I’m very confused about which documents I should send in with packet 3 and which documents I should present at the interview.

So, I have:

- The original NOA1 letter (and copies).

- The original NOA2 letter (and copies).

- Two updated letters of intent that we are going to marry. (dated and signed)

- Cover letter by John’s mother approving of our relationship and confirming we intend to marry. (dated and signed)

- John’s I-134 and his tax returns.

- Our cosponsor papers and tax returns.

- The forms DS-156, DS-156K, and DS-157.

- My police certificate and its translation.

- My birth certificate and its translation.

- John's original birth paper.

- Passport style pics.

- Medical exam. (taken today and should receive the results in a week).

- Proof of our relationship: [How many should I include of each?]

a. Yahoo Chat Logs.

b. Emails.

c. Skype Calls.

d. Calling Cards.

e. Letters.

f. Package receipts.

g. Photos.

h. My engagement ring’s receipt.

i. Correspondence between me and John’s family.

- An entire copy of the original visa documents sent with the I-129F.

Now, what do I send in with packet 3 and what do I keep and bring with me to the interview?

Is there anything missing in this list?

When do I send the medical exam results? Can I include it in packet 3?

When should I get the visa fee paid at CIB? In which packet do I include the receipt?

Also, does proof of engagement equal proof of an ongoing relationship? In my copy of packet 3, I only have that I should provide proof of engagement…nothing yet about ongoing relationship…

Any answers are appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

Did they ask for D-230 Part 1? My understanding was that DS-230 is the form you need to send back with checklist, but then again all embassies’ are different. Didn’t they send instructions letting you know what you need to send back?

packets are part of the embassy/consulate stage, so moved from K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures to US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
