Is DS-230 required for K 1 Visa? Please help

[pawel85 0]

My fiance just received packet 3. Is DS-230 required for K 1 Visa? Please help.

I found this info, but I don't know if this is true or not:

What forms should be send back to the Consulate? Only checklist

(DS-230 is NOT required, this is a common misunderstanding, since the checklist is issued for both K1, K2, K3 and other visas. DS-230 is required for immigrant visas. K1 visa is not an immigrant visa)

If she received packet 3, she should follow what the instructions say. Some requirements vary, depending on a consulate. But Ds-230 part I - Biographic data ( first 2 pages) are commonly used in K1- process. I just had my interview at the K1, prior to which they requested I send a DS-230.

Read the instructions carefully and proceed according to what's in them.

; Follow the instructions!!

My packet 3 also included DS-230, part 1 dated and signed. They requested it, so OFCOURSE, I sent it to the Consulate...

The instructions are very vague about DS-230. My fiance already sent just the checklist. I guess, if they're goign to need DS-230 they will ask her to send it?

Please, take a look at this forum posts about DS-230

Well they clearly say: "Termin rozmowy z Konsulem nie zostanie wyznaczony, dopóki nie otrzymamy tego formularza oraz wypełnionego Formularza DS-230 (załącznik)".

That means she needs to send it asap, she should have sent it with the checklist.

K1 are processed by Immigrant visa unit of the embassy, although they are said to be non-immigrant they are processed as immigrant because the person is actually immigrating.
