Fiance Ready to Submit Packet 3...

[gap1 21]

Hello. My fiance is going to submit his packet 3 forms this week. I just want to make sure we're doing it right.

We're sending:

Cover Letter

DS-230 Part 1

DS 2001 (checklist)

Form DS-156 (original in duplicate)

Form DS-157 (original in duplicate)

Form DS-156-K

I was told he doesn't need to submit evidence as suggested on the DS-230, is this correct? We DO NOT need to send a new letter of intent, birth certificate, police certificate, etc? We have them ready of course if need be.

He already had his medical, but we had a small issue and he needs to go back and get a letter from his GP this week before they will send off his results. Should we put the date of his appointment (Dec 2nd) and clarify that we're watiing on that information or is just putting "Dec 2" ok?

Thanks so much!

You are correct in the FORMS you listed to send.

Do not attach the photos. They do it at the interview.

Do not sign the DS156K.That's done in front of the officer like an oath.

Do not send your personal documents.

Do be sure to make photocopies for your records before you mail the forms off.

If you want to say (results pending additional information) beside the medical date, that sounds fine.

The documents that are taken to the interview are listed on London's website http://london.usemba..._documents.html

Make sure you have read the detailed explanations they give so you have the right kind of birth certificate, for example. Make a photocopy of any "official" document you want back (like birth certificate, police certificate) so they can verify the original, file the photocopy, and give you back the original. Things that you have a copy of on your computer don't really need a photocopy because you can easily print off another if you ever needed one (example Form I-134).

Do not attach what photos? As far as I understand we don't need to include photos for packet 3...am I wrong?

So we do not have to send copies of his birth and police certificates (we already have those), financial support docs or a new letter of intent for packet 3, correct? I wasn't asking about the interview stage, we're just talking about packet 3.

Thanks! You are a life-saver!

Do not send your personal documents. "Documents" refers to police certificate, birth certificate, divorce decrees, court records, affidavit of support, tax return, etc.as well as the passport photos.

This was to reinforce the statement of things that DON'T get mailed in because they go to the interview.

Thanks so much. Sorry for being redundant in my questioning, you can never be too sure in this process!
