PACKET 3 - London!! Please Help

[Ted1234 0]

Hello everybody,

This is only my second time of posting, and was wondering if anyone could help.

I received the rather unexciting packet 3 from London (K-1 visa) (by unexciting i mean just a sheet with a couple of websites on it), and I have now been through the forms and almost finished and would ideally like to send this out today. I just have a couple of questions:

1. The DS-156 (not the DS-156k i understand that you do not sign that) but do you sign the DS-156? I am assuming that you do - there are no instructions not to sign it.

2. Do I send any passport photos (US style) with packet three, again it does not say anything about sending them but there are a couple of spots on the forms that require them or are they attached on the day of the interview?

3. IV15 and checklist - Just a quick one on this. The checklist has a tick box exercise on the front however not everything is relevant to me i.e. military records, notorized statement so therefore I just leave them blank i assume. Also on the second page I do not have an intended date of travel nor do i have a wedding date due to the fact that I have no idea when and if the visa will be granted. Do i just detail - 'to be arranged with visa authorisation'?

I find that I get so stressed about filling out a form but due to the importance, all common sense goes out the window!!!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you members of VJ.

I've not done this step YET, but from what I've read, you DO sign the 156, and you will need 3 passport-style photos at the interview total. (I don't think this includes the photos required at the medical.)

As far as tick boxes, it's always best to fill in everything, even if your answer is N/A. The government employees handling our forms tend to see anything not answered as an omission. Write in N/A if it doesn't apply, and in the travel plans blank, put exactly that - will arrange travel when visa is issued. Most people do it the same way, since we can't count on a time frame.
