[Nich-Nick 3,354]

Hold on a minute. So the forms that they ask '2 x blah blah'... I only send one and keep one? Or do I send both... Cz I sent both lol

You send the forms and their duplicates all together. You did it correctly.

Hi all,

My interview is very soon and I've got all my docs ready!

It would be great if you could all double check my list and make sure I have everything needed!

I have:

1. Receipt of visa payment (email print out)

2. Birth cert + copy

3. Notarized Affidavit (taken under Oath by my Mum) as my birth certificate doesn't have mine or my Mums name in full

4. British citizenship certificate + copy

5. Police Cert + copy

6. I-134 + Proof of income (tax transcripts/employer letter/pay slips)

7. My passport + 2 US sized photos

8. Interview letter

I think this should be everything...shall I take my parents British citizenship certificates too? In case they ask? Or should I include anything else?

I'm not taking proof of relationship as most have said its not necessary.

Thanks in advance!

I take it that you have not been married before? If you have, you need to take your decree absolute with you.

You are correct in that London are not interested in evidence of an ongoing relationship. However, some of us take some stuff along with us just for comfort. I found it useful with the interviewing officer asked me 'How did he propose?'. I whipped out my scrapbook and showed her! I could have just as easily told her but enjoyed telling her the story and showing her the photos of us in our t-shirts (he had t-shirts printed with 'Anna. I love you. Will you marry me?' and 'Mr Anna. I love you too. Of course I will.'

Sorry. Went there!

The interview questions are ones that any half of a couple in a genuine relationship can answer.

Good luck for tomorrow!

Phew! Almost had a panic attack. Thanks lol

Lol don't panic u did it fine I'm just taking copies of all the forms in case i made any mistakes and because the copies I sent had stupid yellow fill in the boxes (that's another story tho) u don't NEED to take them to the interview so its all good :-)

Oh, mine had yellow too...but only on the DS 230 and only in the blank bits, perhaps I should fill it out again too?

Thank you CnP & AG!

This is my first time getting married.

I'll take my photo album with me then, can't hurt I spose. My office is walking distance to the Embassy so its not like I'd have to travel far with it...I might take some other items that we happen to have from the initial petition too, its just been lying around anyway!

Thanks for the info I really appreciate it!

p.s we also have a proposal pic, but I look so shocked (or surprised?) that the officer will probably laugh! We still cringe looking at it haha!

Thanks for the info ! I'm not sure why something that should be so straight forward happens to get so complex

I just replied to your similare post http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/453216-ds-260-for-k-1-visa/?p=6498545 with a summary of the recent changes/confusion in London.

Did any of you guys attach police certificates, birth certificates and evidence of engagement etc like it says to do on the DS-156K form?? It says something about attaching them to the form... I thought these had to be taken to the interview? Or did you all just send the form without those attached?

Good Evening Everyone,

My Fiance mailed out packet 3 on 08/21/2013 and was sign by the embassy 08/23/2013 as being rcvd. We mailed out DS-2001 and it was rcvd on 09/05/13 after obviously packet 3.

When I asked the embassy they stated:

Visa records show that the required form DS-2001 has been received in your case. However, the Immigrant Visa Unit is awaiting receipt of forms DS-156, DS-156K, DS-157 and DS-230 (part 1). As soon as these required forms have been received, an interview will be scheduled for your Fiancé.

Then I replied: Telling them my concern thinking they were lost giving them the tracking number the date and time they were signed for and name of the person asking them to advise me then of the status.

They replied: It can take approximately 4 weeks for forms to be received and registered on an applicant’s file. As it has been less than 4 weeks since you mailed the forms, we recommend that you continue to wait for an appointment to be scheduled.

Does this mean that they do have the forms and they are not lost b/c I explained my concern to them does it take packet 3 to be registered in the system longer than DS-2001 and has everyone waited that aprox; 4 weeks? I just want to make sure they have them at hand and not floating around elsewhere.

Has anyone here had DS-2001 rcvd first rather than packet 3?

I just want to confirm that this is normal and it can take an average of 4 weeks for them to do all this and update our case to be ready for interview.

Thanks VJ's

Like you I mailed DS forms and along with them I also put the 2001 in the package and got it tracked. I had not received packet 3 at the time but I mailed them anyway. It was received on the 3rd sept logged in on the 4 th then I called dos to double check and was told they had not sent packet 3 to me but they see on the system that they received packet 3 from me. Anyway I was told would get a letter soon. Two days later got packet 3 letter in the post dated the 4th the day I had called to enquire. So again to be on the safe side I called them today to check what the first person told me was accurate. I got a guy on the phone this time and he said we received your packet 3 forms and things are a little slow right now but a letter will be coming to you soon for interview date.if you have not received anything in 3 weeks call back.

I

They should be able to check on the system if your forms were received he saw mine on the system so he was able to tell me what they had received from me. Perhaps it has not yet been logged in. Keep calling to check.
