Packet 3 confusion

Hi All,

My fiance received packet 3.5 yesterday and it states that

You should complete and print the following forms online.

• DS 156 – 2 Copies

• DS 156K – only for K1/fiancé visas

• Parents’ Information form

• Visa Fee $350.00 only.

• DS 157

• DS 230 – only complete Part 1

When filling out DS-157 it says to send police certs and birth certificates. Do we have to send the original because i thought we can take it to the interview. Also it says to provide Evidence of engagement so should we send out pics also along with DS-157.

And lastly the Visa fee is that something to be paid on the day of interview or prior to that

any help will be appreciated

A lot of this depends on what country your fiancée is coming from. If you can tell us that then maybe someone can answer your questions. There can really be a big difference in how things are done depending on the country.
