Passport

[UnIqUe 4]

Hi all,

In packet 3, the consulate asked me to send original passport. Is there any purpose for that? Why they need the original and the copy of particular page is not enough? I will bring the original on the day of interview but that is the required documents in checklist.

Thank a lot

What exactly do the instructons say? It would be unusual to mail them your passport in advance of the interview.

I took a look at the visa information page that is posted on the Rangoon Embassy website and it does in fact state that when applying for a visa the applicant's passport must be submitted along with the visa application forms (DS-156, DS-157 and DS-158) at least 1 week prior to the interview. I think the reason why they are requiring this is because it looks as if they treat K visas just like any other non-immigrant visa whereas most other Embassy/Consulates handle K visas through their Immigrant Visa Unit and pretty much treat them as immigrant visas even though technically they are designated as non-immigrant visas.

In instructions says, I should send the original passport and the copy of particular page along the forms and documents. They will check the passport in details or name checks with the petition?
