Form DS 230 question 39

[gbagbo 0]

Hello everyone, question 39 on the DS-230 asks for the name and address of the petitioner. I was the petitioner for the paper work sent to the USCIS. Am I still the petitioner for the DS230 or does my fiancée become the petitioner for packet 3?

If your fiance(e) is applying for a K-1 Visa, then you do not fill out Part II of the DS-230. Only submit DS-230 Part I. Question 39 falls under Part II.

Thanks, missed that part. We'll worry about part 1 and take care of part 2 later

To answer your initial question directly, you will always be the petitioner. The foreigner is the visa applicant. You petitioned for the privilege of your fiancee applying for a visa. It doesn't matter who fills out the DS 230 but it is HER application signed by her and about her.

Audy_Rob,

Thanks for the reply, do you know if she signs part 1 or not? I know part 2 says not to sign but nothing on the part 1. I read here on this forum not to sign part 1 also but it doesn't say that on the form itself.

This is a consular form - moving thread from K1 form to consulate forum.

She can sign the DS-230 Part I and DS-156. You/She will need to fill out DS-156K and she MUST NOT sign that form. She will sign it in front of the CO at the Embassy.

EDITED to add: Good luck.
