Form DS-230

Form DS-157

Two Forms DS-156

Form DS-156 (K)

my question is.. should my fiancee fill out and sign any of those documents?

can anyone give me or tell me where to get the appointment letter?

and what documents should my fiancee send to me?

Just want to make sure always, I don't want to miss or forget anything.

Thank you for help.

You need to fill out all of those forms. She needs to send you the Affidavit of Support Form that she signs. How did you find out when your appointment was? Wouldn't that be the appointment letter?

Ahh, Then that was the appointment letter then hmmm.

I thought i'd have to send the consulate an appointment letter to inform them i'm ready for interview or something like that.

too much comprehension raining on my head hahaha.

You might also want her to send a renewed Intent to Marry Letter so it is up to date.

I'm confused-- doesn't the DS-230 get filled out and sent to the NVC by the beneficiary, before they are granted an appointment for interview?

Are you sure you haven't already filled some of those things?

Some of these are redundant, but we made sure to fill out all the forms they sent.

hey zzyzz,

you need to fill out all the documents they sent in your packet, and bring them with the appointment letter and your $240 (unless your letter says a different amount, but this is what we had to take on this past Wednesday). You'll also need the affidavit of support document, 3 years of tax documents--i recommend tax transcripts directly from the IRS because then you don't have to send w-2's, a letter from her employer stating what her job and income are, how long she's worked there, and as many paycheck stubs as she can find (we attached 13 months' worth). I've seen several people say that the Casa consulat requires the I-864 as the affidvait of support doc, but houbi only had to give them the I-134 with the above listed supporting evidence. We made 2 separate files (one with all the official documents and one with evidence of our relationship). In the evidence file, I recommend you include all evidence you sent with your original dossier (you never know what they've lost in the process of sending your case from office to office), evidence you've accumulated since sending your original packet, and updated letters of intent. If you can have letters written on your side by friends and family that'll be helpful. EVERYTHING must be translated into English and certified as an official translation. Good luck!

I just wonder about the currency they require for the visa application fee ($240). Should you pay in cash with MAD or you can pay with any other currency?
