I have searched this forum for answers, but am still a little confused because of the conflicting info available on the consulate website and the VFS website.

My K-3 visa interview is coming up in May in Mumbai and I am in the process of getting paperwork ready for the interview. My packet 4 states that along with medical report, passport and other material I also need to submit the DS-230 Part I and II. However on the Mumbai consulate link for K-3 visa, it lists the DS-156 and the DS-3052 to be submitted.

http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/k_visas.html#amc3

On the VFS site, documents to submit for K-3 lists DS-156 and DS-156K.

https://www.vfs-usa.co.in/ApplnForms/ImmVisasWestEast.aspx

I called up the VFS Mumbai number, and I was told to just go by what is stated in Packet-4.

I just wanted to know what documents were submitted to the VFS by those who recently had their visa interviews? Also, is it better to submit the medical reports to VFS too, or should I just schedule my medical exam closer to the interview date and submit all other documents to VFS?

Thanks in advance for all your help. This is such a wonderful website and I am so thankful to all of you for making this immigration journey so much better and bearable.

I really need help on this question, regarding what forms are needed to be submitted to VFS for a K-3? Do I only need the DS 230, I and II and the Affidavit of Support? Or are there other documents too? I am getting conflicting list of documents based on the consulate and VFS website.
