Packet 3 help

[shanewarner 0]

Hi All,

We've received packet 3 in the mail and are a little confused as to the process, mainly the part about her sending in all her original documents with DSL-1076.

So based on what the instructions are saying, and from the consulate website http://canberra.usembassy.gov/consular/visas/iv/fiance.html , they want her to send in all her original documents? Birth certificate etc?

If this is the case will she get them all back to be able to bring them to the interview ? It doesn't say anything anywhere as to what the contents of packet 4 will be. Very unclear...

Thanks,

Shane

It should be that you sign a checklist to say that you have all the documents required, return this and then produce the originals of certificates etc (with a copy which they should keep) at the interview. You should not have to send any original personal documents to them.

This is quoted from the DSL-1076:

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

You are required to furnish the original of each document PLUS one photocopy. This is your checklist & it must be returned to the consulate with form DSL-1076 and your documents as requested. Your original documents will be returned to you at the time of your final visa interview.

I'm confused, sounds to me like they want all of the original documents listed on the checklist mailed in to the consulate and they will be returned at the interview.... am I reading this wrong ?

There's your answer then. It must be consular specific as for the UK there are specific instructions not to send documents.

Hmm ok , seems a little insane that they would request original documents sent through the mail, but I guess we have to do what we have to do. Thanks for the help!
