Silly DS 230 question

[gumbi2400 1]

Hello all,

I have asked many questions in this forum, and have received many fantastic answers. Out of all of these questions, this may be the most ridiculous. I just received my wife's DS 230 packet in the mail, and it looks like she accidentally forgot page 3 of the form (the first page of the sworn statement). I just paid the IV bill today, and my question, is simply this. I have a copy of page 3 that shes filled out, and as its all typed, can I just print out the copy I have and send it in? There's no signature on this page or anything so I figure it will be alright. The reason why I ask is because of paper sizes. Yes, paper sizes. Will they care that the rest of the application is on A4 (the standard in the UK) and that one page is 8.5 x 11? Or will they not even care?

Thank you so much for putting up with my crazy questions!

All the best!

Does anywhere it say the paper size? I have not seen it. So, IMO, it should be ok.

But if it says the paper size precisely, then you should worry about.

Let's get others feedback as well!

I should think that it wouldn't be a serious problem for them, but I know I would personally be bothered by pages in the same document being of different sizes. And it might seem obvious that the document was not all printed at the same time (although I can't imagine there is a strict rule against that). If you're truly OCD, you could always go buy some A4 paper and reprint that page on A4 to keep it consistent.

+1 for buying the A4 paper. Not sure where you'd get it in the US though.

Page 3 is part of part two. It is not required at this time. She'll provide and sign this at the interview.

Well overwhelming for buying A4. I do realize that it is part of section 2. However, I thought it needed to be sent all at the same time, and then sign it at the end. Then again thinking about it now, I could just call the NVC. Not to mention, she sent it to me snail mail as well, so a little bit of patience wouldn't kill me!

Thanks for the help. Have to say its a great community here!

a sheet of 8.5 x 14 (US legal) paper and a pair of scissors would be my route. A4 is 8.27 x 11.69.

Section 2...unsigned....is part of the entire form and while it is to be signed at the interview I believe NVC wants it submitted with the other pages of the DS-230.

IMO the paper size should not be an issue, I doubt they would even notice. That being said, the discrepancy would drive me crazy too, so reprinting on proper size paper would be comforting.
