DS-156K

[Minu Luvs Pinu 2]

Hello again,

Still working on my Packet 3, and on DS-156k it says to provide Proof of financial support.

Now in I-134 this is required, an affidavit is also required for this form. My question is what kind of proof should I provide in packet 3 for DS-156K. Do i need my petitioner's/Fiancee's tax return? Pay Stub? and affidavit from him and his employer? This is so confusing. Can someone please give me a clear and definite answer.

Thanks.

We didn't send anything with P3 except the forms. They didn't ask for our financial support stuff (The I-134 and supporting documentation) until the interview.

But why does DS-156K ask for it? and then have them not expect it. It's kind of confusing .. don't want to risk getting and RFE for a stupid mistake like that you know? Is there any reason why the form would ask for that?

P.S.

Are you suppose to send any of the forms that DS-156K asks for? Like my Birth Certificate? and my proof of engagement?

And as for proof of engagement I know we can send out the letter of Intention to Marry. Does that need to be just from me? or is the petitioner required to update his letter too? to be sent out with packet 3? Do need to send my Birth Certificate and Police record?

Your finance in the USA should have mailed you the following for your interview and Affividat of Support

1. Letter of employment

2. Recent paystubs.. two months

3. 2 yrs of Tax Returns from IRS

4. Bank Verification Letter

5. Filled out I-134

Your DS-156K must be filled and submitted to the consulate

Attach the following w/ your submission

1. Copy of Birth Certificate

2. Evidence of Engagement

3. Evidence of Financial Support. See Above items (1-5)

4. Divorce decree (if any)

5. Police Certificate(s)

Without submitted these items w/ your DS-156K, your submission will be rejected. You don't want that.

Hate to sound like a broken record, PLEASE read the DIRECTIONS on the forms. Government is notorious for returning missing information or incorrectly filled out forms.

Best

I think Pakistan must have different procedures. Canadians going to the US consulate in Montreal are saying otherwise on this forum.

Quite possible.

I am going by what's written in the directions of the DS-156K Form (check out their required documents needed by the beneficiary), and what the i-134 requires as part of the affiv. of support required by the petitioner

all the best..

Oh my God, I finally get it! Had to read further into your thread Ralyse. LOL! http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/327503-k1-guide-montreal/

so you just send out the checklist and mark off the things you will bring to you interview. but you don't actually send it with packet 3. Boy the DS-156K sure is confusing. I didn't receive my packet 3 yet, but NVC did tell me it was being sent to me, I'm sure the packet that comes in says something about this Checklist.

Without this site I don't know how the in the heck me and my fiancee would be doing this. Sorry about this mess of a post. I've answered my question, but thanks to this forum of course!

Have a good night!

Yup, that's it! Don't send anything but the forms in with packet 3
