any input will be appreciated.

I posted this in the embassy section and didnt get any responds,so im gonna repost it here

i am trying to get to the bottom of our packet 3,and here is what im not getting:

STEP 3 For Beneficiary and Petitioner: Contact your local UPS courier all required forms and documents to the Consular Section in the same envelope.

mk here is the part that i dont get:

2. FORMS: Please complete the following forms enclosed with this letter to submit to this office before your interview. Form DS-230 Part I (“Biographic Data”), Form DS-156 (“Application for a Nonimmigrant visa”) in duplicate, Form DS-156K (“ Nonimmigrant Fiance Visa Application”) to be filled out by all principal applicants, DS-157 (“Supplemental Nonimmigrant Visa Application”) to be filled out by all Iranian applicants in duplicate regardless of gender and age and Turkish male applicants between the ages 16 and 45, Form I-134 (Affidavit of Support) together with evidence which may be presented to meet the public charge provisions of the law must be fully completed. Questions that do not apply

to the applicant’s particular situation should be answered “N/A” of “Non Applicable”.

3. BIRTH CERTIFICATES: One original and certified copy of the birth certificate of each person named in the application is required. The certified copy of the birth certificate must either have the raised seal or rubber stamp of the vital statistics office or it must be originally signed. Attorney certified copies without raised seals, rubber stamps or plain photocopies of birth certificates will not be accepted. The certificate must state the date and place of birth and names of both parents. Applicants born in a country other than their country of citizenship must present a birth-certificate from the country in which they were born. (“Nüfus Kayıt Örneği” if the applicant was born in Turkey).

7. EVIDENCE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT: K-1/K-2 principal and derivative applicants are subject to INA 212(a)(4) and must demonstrate to the consular officer's satisfaction that they will not become a public charge. The enclosed information sheet, Optional Form 167, lists evidence, which may be presented to meet this requirement of law. The affidavit of support to be submitted must be Form I-134 and must be accompanied by the most recent year’s tax return form.

8. EVIDENCE OF RELATIONSHIP: You may be asked to submit proof of a valid fiance/fiancee relationship with your petitioner. It is, therefore, useful to bring letters, photographs, or other evidence of your engagement with you.

9. TRANSLATIONS: All documents not in English must be accompanied by a certified English translation.

regarding number 2 and 7,does that mean we will have to submit the original of requested forms ( w-2,1040 and everything else ) in the packet 3?

regarding number 3,would a certified translated version do?there is no way for me to get a copy certified here.

regarding number 8,does that mean we have submit evidence of relationship in the packet 3?

regarding number 9,do i have to put in the original certified translation sheet?

im just going really OCD,and our consulate doesnt have a packet 4,so its kinda hard to tell what goes in before and what goes in during the interview.

thank you in advance

Evidence of relationship is taken to the interview not mailed in P3.

[thelastpetitioner 218]

why is it mentioned in k-1 instruction then?i know that it is supposed to be taken to the interview,just double checking.

any idea on whether or not the tax related paperwork ( the evidence for I-134 ) should be sent in with packet three along with the original certified translation papers?

im just really lost with all this.

Every consulate has their own system which is why hearing someone else from Iran would be the best information.

Reading the information you listed it looks like you should submit everything before your interview. I can't tell if you need to bring duplicate information to the interview but from what it says there, but that would be silly (consulates are often silly). I would say submit everything listed.

All of the forms, a gift certificate in the style mentioned, the I-134 and all of your financial documents, any evidence of the relationship you have.

Regarding translating, read this: Very important!!

Translated documents should include the birth certificate and any evidence of relationship in any languages other than English. All the other documents you are submitting are probably already all in English.

Hope this helps!

thanks for the input,im planning on asking SO to contact embassy to ask,i was just wondering if people are seeing what im seeing.

i got everything,even secondary documents translated,there are offices in iran that get everything translated and later on certified by department of homeland security ( the iranian version ) for a free,im just torn about whether or not i should send the originals
