DS-2001

[PeruvyandGringa 25]

My fiance received his packet 3 while I was in Madrid, the day before I left Madrid. I was able to look at the papers quickly (although strangely they were all in Spanish, so I didn't understand most of it). He had a soccer game that last day I was there, and we never made it to get a copy of the packet for me to take home. What a mistake. He mailed in his DS-230 (as he understood the only thing he needed to mail in advance).

I called today since he has not heard anything since, and was told that the Madrid Embassy had received the DS-230, but they were waiting on something else from him before they could schedule an interview. She was not able to tell me what it is they are waiting for. He immediately printed the DS-230 again, along with DS-157, DS-156 and DS-156K(all the forms referenced in his instructions) and sent them out. (Also a photo copy of the I-134 packet I prepared for his interview).

I am just now reading about a form called DS-2001. This is news to the both of us. Is this required for all embassies? I am asking about Spain in particular. After months on this site I only just now found a reference to this numbered form, I never saw it on the guides.

After all we sent out today, is this one little paper all they need to schedule the interview?

Did he get his medical done and sent in his checklist stating he has all the papers ready?

I was told to wait to schedule the medical until after he has an interview date because the medical is scheduled very quickly there, and the interview dates are usually given several weeks in the future (from recent experience with Madrid Embassy). That is also who mentioned some sort of checklist that should have been in the packet. He has no checklist. I have now been searching and found this DS-2001 form. I thought maybe that was what should have been in his packet. I am thinking there must have been something missing. I don't know Spanish that well, but I do not recall a checklist with a place for a signature, and I know there was not the DS-2001 form. I did write down all the DS... documents mentioned in his packet before I left. The papers we received were in Spanish, they did not look like the official forms on the USCIS website at all. The instructions also included reference to an invalid website for further information (I found the website through VJ instead). The website referenced included the word 'state' which is not actually in the address.

The checklist you reference, is that different that this DS-2001? and if it is, can we get to a copy online to print ourselves and mail?

thank you!

This happened to my honey and I except the embassy lossssst our checklist!!! They would not schedule our interview because of it! We faxed and emailed the embassy (called...that was useless!) after they received 3 faxes and 2 emails they finally called my fiancé in France. He told him that he sent it! They trusted him and scheduled the intervie finally which put us another 2-3 weeks away from each other cuz they lost it!!! Argggggh

I wouldn't send anything to them...I heard from someone here that it just prolongs things. If you have already...email and fax them! Tell them that the dos told you that ur missing a paper....and that you have everything for the interview if in fact you fo of course. Hope this helps!
