Hey all,

Just want to get some clarification on this. On the list that tells you what order to put your paperwork for the interview the fourth item is "Two forms DS-156".

Maybe I'm over thinking this, but when they say "two" forms, do they mean both pages of the DS-156? or do we need to fill out 2 sets of the DS-156?

Hi, Erik :)

I did fill 2 sets of all forms and handled them to the woman that keeps our documents before we go to the interview room. They ask for 1 original and 1 copy ( 2 sets ) :)

Thanks Liszy, I was under the impression you only needed copies of those documents that you did not need to sign... like the Police Certificates, Birth Certificate etc.

But, your saying 1 original DS-156, and 1 copy of it is fine? Rather than filling out 2 by hand?

Maybe my confusion is because on the list it states what documents they want "copies" of, the "two form" thing has thrown me for a loop :lol:

Yep, they do. 2 DS-156, one DS-156K, one DS-154, one FS-257a and a sworn statement.

I only offer advice - not even legal. Just the plain and simple kind.

Yeah, yeah, but for those of us that haven't actually seen the contents of Packet 4 yet, it could mean a few different things. :P

Yeah I was wondering about that. I'll e-mail them now. I never got my packet 3 or 4. They said they sent the packet 3 august 22, it's september 4 and nothing. Since even without receiving the packet 3 I already sent them and they told me the interview date by phone, should I try to check where the hell did that packet 3 went? Or ask them to send me the packet 4?

Lis, you got all through e-mail? How?

Nessa, wait a couple of days for packet 4 and if it doesn't come call them and confirm your address and if they sent it. Packet 3 contains some forms for the interview, but you can get all online. Packet 4 is the one you really really need 'cus of the appointment letter and the sworn statement that is not open to download.
