Just want to make sure I have everything...at this point, I'm overthinking and second guessing :blink:

In an accordion file, I have:

Passport

2 passport photos

Birth Certificate + photocopy

Appointment letter

Medical

DS-156 x 2

DS-156K

DS-160 (this makes the DS-230 unnecessary, right?)

I-134

I-864

Police certificate

Fiance's info, ie letter from employer, last year's tax return + W2, bank statements, a copy of the lease for our house, copies of utility bills

Proof of paying for the Visa in advance

Proof of relationship (photos, boarding passes, engagement ring appraisal, etc)

I think I recall reading somewhere that I'm not to sign any of the forms beforehand...can anyone confirm?

Thanks for your help!

The Ds-260, not 160.. it was done online, print out your confirmation page, and no, you will not need the DS-230.

You're a K-1, you only need the I-134 and it should be signed by your fiancee

You're good to go.

Sorry but DS 160 is required for K-1 visas. The OP is interviewing for a K-1 visa. They need the confirmation page.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

I am a Citizen of the United States of America. 04/16/13

OOPPS realized that afterwards! But yes, you'll need the confirmation page!

No, you don't.

As for signing things beforehand, unless something has changed (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) the only thing you shouldn't sign is the DS156k. Everything else you can sign before the interview. At least, that's how I did it in 2009.
