Hi Everyone,

I just joined vj but have been following it for quite some time. This is a great website..really helpful information! Anyway, I have been sent a RFE for my divorce decree from my previous marriage. I had sent an intent to divorce which I erroneously thought would be acceptable but is not. Anyway, I'm sending my divorce decree today and would like to know if I can send the DS-230 forms to the embassy in anticipation of speeding the process a bit so when I do get a letter of approval the embassy will already have my DS-230 forms.

On another note, are the fingerprints required for the police report? I've read different things regarding whether they are required or not.

Btw, I will be updating my timeline very soon...I just registered literally a few minutes ago! :)

No you cannot send DS230 ahead of time - it wont speed things up and USCIS does not use it.

Finger prints should not be needed unless there is a criminal background - but some countrys have different requirements to get police reports - check with the country of residence what is needed.

For the K1 a lot of stuff is country dependant. SO in that vein.

YES it needs to be a police checks with fingerprints.

As to the DS-230. Once you've received P3 then you can send DS-230, not before. Reason being they won't have your file so it's just junk mail to them.

Also, just to confirm you were divorced prior to filing the K1 correct? Not just having filed for divorce, but the divorce was final before you filed?
