Form DS230-Req'd confirmation

[Pris 0]

I remember the other day I was browsing through and someone wrote that ONLY PART 1 on Form DS230 needs completed; to me it looks like both parts have to be filled in

Could you please confirm on that matter?

fill out part I only and send it back to the embassy, part II will be done at the interview date by the officer

Ok that makes sense now; I am yet to receive Package 3 and I am already trying to get everything handy before then. Thank you very much and GOOD LUCK at your interview.

I can tell you that only ds-230 part 1 comes with packet 3 anyway as i didnt get part 2 in the mail

Yeah I only got Part 1 in my packet 3 too.

Same as me.

I also had asked this question, because packet 3 only comes with form #1. I thought this was another way for the Consulate to screw us over in applying for the social security number. However, as was mentioned before, form #2 is filled out at the interview!

Clarification: K-1 applicants may NOT apply for a Social Security number on form DS-230 II. That program is only available to Immigrant Visa applicants.

I don't think the Consulate is trying to screw you over.

Everyone else is correct, you only do Part I. James only got Part I in the mail as well, so no one screwed up

meauxna from my understanding, A fiancé visa is technically a nonimmigrant visa, however the process is similar to that of an immigrant visa. The Immigrant Visa Unit of each U.S. Embassy handles the interviews. Thus, I don't see why the DS230 page 2, would not apply to a K-1.

I understand the IV vs NIV classification and the use of the forms, but the SSA program is not yet extended to anyone other than Immigrant Visa holders.

From the VJ Guide:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...custom&page=ssn

On the visa application Form DS-230 (expires 7/31/2007), you saw the following offer:

"Do you want the Social Security Administration to assign you an SSN (and issue a card) or issue you a new card (if you have an SSN)? You must answer "Yes" to this question and to the "Consent To Disclosure" in order to receive an SSN and/or card."

Please note that this program is ONLY for Immigrant Visa holders (CR-1, etc). If you checked this box, a Social Security number will NOT be generated for you if you are a K-visa holder. As a K-visa holder, use the following guide to get your first, or replacement, Social Security number/card. If you have ever had a Social Security number, that is your number for life; you will need to visit your SSA office to get new card with the same number.

--------------------------------

You can also look for posts from mdyoung with the internal SSA documents that clarify this.

I do encourage you to look at the specifics for a K-1 and how to apply for a Social Security number. There is a specific window of opportunity for the K-1 to get a SS# before their EAD or AOS completes.

Meauxna,

DS230 Part II has nothing to do with K1 is that what you are trying to say?
