Packet 3 question, Mumbai Embassy K-1

[Trident111 0]

According to the Mumbai Embassy, my fiancee's Packet 3 was mailed out to Pune on Sep 4th but it never arrived. I called the Embassy on Sep 22nd and they said I can just download the packet from the website. However, without any clear instructions on the documents I downloaded from the Embassy website, I'm confused about what to actually send back. See more information below.

• I am clear that DS-230 Part I has to be sent back
• I am NOT clear if I need to send back DS-2001, Applicant Statement or both
• If Applicant Statement needs to be send back, do I include all the pages (including the checklist) or just the last page. Remember, the Applicant Statement is a continuation of the checklist and not a separate page/document.
• On the Instruction package for K-1 visa applicants (checklist), it says 'check the box before each item and return this form to the Immigrant Visa Section at the American Consulate, Mumbai'. If I have to send this back right now, then I'm assuming I have to leave the medical question unchecked because I need an appointment letter to complete medical and obviously I don't have that yet. If I have to send this later, then do I do that after the medical but before the actual interview?
• In addition to the items mentioned above, do I need to send back anything else as a response to Pakcet 3?

Thanks everyone for your help. It is greatly appreciated!

you just need to send form DS-2001 and Applicant Statement. just send the applicant statement which is like a paragraph.

nope you don't need to send anything else besides these two for now. and then wait for packet 4.

my fiance didn't receive his packet 3 either and we called embassy and got the same instructions. My fiance filled the forms out and then emailed it to embassy and they replied same day saying he should receive his packet 4 in 2-4 weeks and which he did

I hope this helps. Good Luck

Thanks. What is the address you send these documents to? Is it the same address as the embassy or is there a special department handling K1 responses?

I am clear that DS-230 Part I has to be sent back

Yes.

I am NOT clear if I need to send back DS-2001, Applicant Statement or both.

Both.

If Applicant Statement needs to be sent back, do I include all the pages (including the checklist) or just the last page. Remember, the Applicant Statement is a continuation of the checklist and not a separate page/document.

You only send the DS230 and the 'Signed' Applicants Statement, not the check list.

On the Instruction package for K-1 visa applicants (checklist), it says 'check the box before each item and return this form to the Immigrant Visa Section at the American Consulate, Mumbai'. If I have to send this back right now, then I'm assuming I have to leave the medical question unchecked because I need an appointment letter to complete medical and obviously I don't have that yet. If I have to send this later, then do I do that after the medical but before the actual interview?

Again, you send 'only' the DS-230 and the signed Applicants Statement, Not the check list. The check list is only for your convenience to show you what you will need before they can schedule you your appointment. You check these boxes as you acquire each doc and then check it off as you do. The Applicants Statement and your (the benificiary's) signature is telling the Embassy that you now have 'ALL' the required documentation and they can complete processing of your case. You'll get the interview letter soon after informing you of your interview date.

So, make sure you have all these docs ''before' you submit theses two forms.

In addition to the items mentioned above, do I need to send back anything else as a response to Pakcet 3?

No.

Good luck to you and your SO.

You only need to send back two things:

1. Signed checklist (this is the letter you would have received) http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/media/pdf-vi...k1_packet_3.pdf

2. DS-230 (part ONE ONLY) http://www.state.gov/m/a/dir/forms/

Thanks everyone for taking your time to answer these questions. I still have one big question that I need clarification on. What address do I send these 3 documents (DS-230 part I, DS-2001, Applicant Statement) to? Is it the standard Mumbai embassy mailing address or is there a special department within the embassy handling this? Could you provide the address that I need to send this information to?

I'm wondering how anyone was able to email these forms to the embassy? Did you sign it first and then scanned the copies in? Is that allowed? I thought the embassy wants originals of everything.

Thanks.

Trident 111 - I'm looking to find the same answer regarding the mailing address. This is what I found, can someone PLEASE confirm this is where we send Packet 3 documents to?

Lincoln House

78, Bhulabhai Desai Road

Mumbai – 400026

India

And also, I'm curious about the email, how was it sent - scanning then sending with attachment?
