Packet 3 Document Checklist?

[amazngrace 3]

At this link,

http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Germany&cty=Frankfurt

I was instructed to do the following:

1.) Immediately fill out and mail in:

- DS-230

- DS-156 (in duplicate)

- DS-156K (do not sign form; you are required to sign it before a consular officer on the day of your interview)

- DS-157 (for all male applicants between the ages of 16-45)

- document checklist.

*My only problem is the document checklist? I didn't recieve my packet in the mail...would this have been in it? Mine was recieved by email. Is the checklist the barcoded cover sheet? SomethingIi have to type up maybe... like a table of contents for the documents I have included in the package?

Are you seeking a CR-1 visa? If so, the DS-230 would have already gone to the NVC and be in the file the Consulate receives. Those DS-156 and DS-157 forms are not used in a CR-1 case. I looked through that link you posted and the majority of information on that page only seemed germane to K1 visa cases.

Yes we are seeking a CR-1 and have already sent the DS-230 in as well. My only concern was the last thing listed "document check list". Thank you for your input on the Ds-156 and 157 forms. I agree with you. I think that a lot of where the confusion is comming from when instructions are not specific to a particular visa and are just for spouse/fiance visas in general.

Do you know anything or have any opinion or sugestions about the DS-2001, and wether it is needed in my case are not? i am afraid that sending it if not needed will cause delays but also afraid to not send it. it says in bold letters that an interview will not and can not be scheduled until they have recieved it?

I only have this suggestion regarding the DS-2001, contact the Consulate and ask them if it is required for your case.

Agreed.... I would much rather wait a day or 2 for them to reply back to my email than to make an error and cause delays. Thank you for your input.

Though it was mandatory few year back say 2006, 2007 when the consulate use to schedule the interview date at that point of time you were not supposed to sent DS-230 or any document to NVC, consulate use to receive all these documents. I don't think this form is used anymore or is required... what you require to submit to the NVC is....Document cover sheet, 2 passport photos,DS-230 Part 1&2, Copy of passport biographic page, original birth cerificate and a copy, original translation of birth certificate, original marriage certificate and a copy, original passport police clearance.When you print off your cover sheet iv bill status is showing after that their will be a link to what exactly they want.As you are submitting all the documents to NVC then most likely you do not have to fill out DS-2001 since NVC will schedule your interview date.
