And my last question...how were you able to track your package w/ DHL. Is there some sort of system?

Sorry for the extra post...new VJ doesn't like editing too much.....there's a tracking Topic here:

I emailed the NVC too and they responded to my inquiry when our file was already in Ljubljana for days. :)

Received my packet 3 today from the Montreal Consulate, and I spent probably a good 6 hours filling out the DS-230, DS-160, DS-156 and DS-156K. 4 different forms all requesting roughly the same data, in roughly the same format.. gotta love it :)

One question though, and I'm not sure if it's applicable here or in the Consulate forum, but there's a checklist I need to send back, stating I have obtained the specific document (passport, photographs, birth certificate, police certificate, etc etc) It says not to send the actual documents, just the checklist..

BUT

The DS-156K form says these same documents MUST be submitted with the DS-156K? What gives?

Hi there - we're a bit behind you guys, our application just left NVC so next up is Packet 3, which I'm dreading. What did you end up doing? Submitting the documents or not?

For information on our K1/AOS/ROC journey please see my 'About Me' page on my profile.

I am getting ready to send a packet to my fiance and on the VJ guide it says to send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance and your continued support of the k-1 visa. This should be similar to the letter I provided with the I-129F. My question is that I used the VJ sample as my first letter, what did people add to this second letter?
