Other Forms to Fill out After NOA2

[Libertarian 0]

After receiving NOA2 the guideline from here http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1forms. What I don't understand is:

1) Who fills out the 156 and 156K form? Should it be the petitioner or beneficiary?

2) Are the forms from the link the forms that the embassy will send out to the beneficiary?

Thank you.

The idea is the Alien Beneficiary is the Applicant for the visa and therefore the Beneficiary should fill out the forms DS-230 Part I, DS-156, DS-156 and some Embassies/Consulates want DS-157.

But in many cases the Beneficiary might not have a good grasp of the English language. In such cases it is perfectly acceptable for the USC Petitioner to fill out the forms on behalf of the Alien Beneficiary.

Not all (actually not many) actually send out a Packet 3 of forms. Many see to see the web site of the Embassy/Consulate and provide a link for going to the forms. I woukld not use the forms provided by VJ. I would first go to the Embassy/Consulate that will be conducting the interview to see if there is a link to Packet 3 or K Visa Appointment Packages.

If not, then I woul go to the Department of State web site as that is where you must fill out Form DS-156 the new electronic form filled out online, submitted and returned in a few minutes with a barcode.

Good luck.

Go to the embassy website at http://moscow.usembassy.gov click the visa tab and then look for Fiance visas ( I think it is under the Immigrant visa tab ) That will give you everything that Moscow needs. Some of the required paperwork is embassy specific. The site also has a list of Panel Physicians and clinics for the medical ( actually there are only 2 ).

Good Luck !!!!

Oh ! and receiving packet 3 is kind of hit and miss with Moscow. I have read that some have received it and many others have not. Olga has not received hers, but everything you need is listed on the site.
