Hi everyone,

I wanted to know if the forms for packet 3 which are available for DOWNLOAD on VJ can be filled out before actually receiving the hard copy of the DS-156K AND DS-230 FORMS?

In the download section for these forms on VJ, it says "these forms will be provided by the US Embassy handling the Visa" so is it a waste of time to fill it out now. I am not into doing things twice so if I need to wait for them to come in packet 3 I will but if not I don't want to wait when I can complete it now.

DS 156K

DS-230

I-134

Do I also need to fill out the DS-156 as well as DS-156k?

I have been looking around the site for the answer and I did not find a post asking this specific question.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Some people complete Pkt 3 before getting the actual pkt. Others wait. The forms that were needed at the US London Embassy were: DS2001, DS230, DS156, DS156K, and DS157. Some people send the I134 and supporting documents with the pkt 3 and others take it with them to the interview. You can check on the US Haitian Embassy's website on VJ for more info: http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Haiti&cty=Port-au-Prince

I hope this helps.

Forms are available in the web sites of some Embassies. My case was in Poland and they did; as well we did not have to wait to receive packet; we sent papers as soon as I knew our petition had reached the Embassy. It saved us a few days.

Don't know specifics at your case Embassy, but you can check. It was not prominently posted ,but with some searches, if they have them, it would be not too hard to find.

Ok I asked the questions and I did get some helpful hints. Thanks for all the tips.

Just incase someone else is starting on packet 3 here is what I did.

I followed the suggestions in the Guide section of VJ for the K1 process.

Noted all the forms I need for packet 3 and downloaded the ones I can from VJ, then compared it to what the embassy has on it's site to ensure it is the most up-to-date form.

I reviewed each form and the example forms filled out through VJ

So when packet 3 officially arrives. I am going to be ready.

Funny I did the same thing and Iam not even anywhere near your stage but its always best to be prepared. I did so he could get familiar with the forms and had him fill them out while I was with him so when he does it for real he wont have any problems. But definetly let me know how this works and keep a sister updated goodluck! :thumbs:

Sure thing wissnan, I wish I did think of this earlier. I am going to send it all as soon as I get the word that NVC has my petition.

That was a great idea having your fiance practice with the forms.

I will keep you posted. :thumbs:

yes girl because I didnt want that stress. I have learned so much on here and from other people I know who went before me and I know if I dont know nothing else. Being on the ball is always best than not to be at all. I know I wont be able to go to the interview so if he is well prepared ahead of time and right before. I believe things will be in our favor. God is good and let god has grace and mercy on us all.
