DS-156K...now or later?

[Alex~Alan 8]

Just a quick question to make sure I am going to do this correctly. Step One from London says "Complete the Form DS-230-Part 1, Form DS-156, and DS-157" and return them promptly. Step Two says to send them the Readiness Form 2001.

My question is when do I send in the DS-156K, or do I just take it to the interview? The 156K says that birth and marriage certificate, divorce decree, police certificate, evidence of engagement, and evidence of financial support (I-134) should be attached.

We do not yet have some of the required DS-156K documentation together, so we were thinking of mailing this form off with copies of all of the above when we send in the Readiness form, but, I would prefer to get the first three forms (from Step One) sent off ASAP. What did everyone else do?

Send all the forms from step 1, including the DS-156K. You do not need to send any docs with the DS-156K for London, they will collect them at the interview. Once you then have all your docs gathered and are ready to tell the Embassy you would like to interview you can then send in the Readiness Form 2001.
