Hello,

We have finally received our interview date for Oct. 2nd at the Juarez Consulate.

My question is I had not sent the DS-230 with all the paperwork yet when I received the interview date. I sent all the paperwork requested with the DS-230 and now the instructions that came with the interview letter is asking for some of the paper work I sent with the DS-230??? Is this normal or will i have to come up with original documents again or will they have what i sent them.

Another question is....what is recommended for us to take to the interview besides our paperwork? Is this where they will be asking for evidence of our marraige and all that good stuff?

Anyone with information or instructions on what to do to prepare for our interview please feel free to let me know.. WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!

THANKS :dance:

Where did you send the first DS-230 and paperwork? NVC?

K-3 is actualy to visa processes, I-130 for CR-1/IR-1 which has you send documentation to NVC, and I-129F for K-3 which has you send or bring documentation to the consulate.

If you sent documentation to NVC and it seems like NVC is close to sending the I-130 on to consulate, you may want to reschedule K-3 interview, if I-130 and documentation gets sent to consulate before K-3 interview, the consulate will drop the K-3, and interview you for CR-1 visa.

If you enter the USA on CR-1 visa, then NO AOS needed. CR-1 has the advantage of GREEN-CARD on entry to the USA, and can imediatly take a JOB, get SSN, and apply for a driver's licenence after getting SSN. K-3 CANNOT take a JOB, get SSN, or apply for driver's license until after getting EAD or Green-card. EAD can take 90 days or more.

So what you are saying is that i should re-schedule the interview I already have and wait for the DS-230 process to go thru and get an interview date on that? It sounds like I received interview for the I-129F part of it and not the I-130? Would you say the same?

Where did you send the first DS-230 and paperwork? NVC?
