preparing for our interview

[walbers 1]

I am a USC living/working in VN, my wife is a PRC citizen living her with me. We have our interview for IR-1/CR-1 IV scheduled for Nov 5. Our appointment letter indicates that all the documents requested by USCIS and NVC have been received and are good but it's unclear to me exactly what else is needed to bring to the interview other than evidence of bonafide relationship.

Instructions off the website in HCMC say that we should complete a form DS-230 Part 1 and a DS-2001. Is this correct? Do we bring these to the interview? What is confusing me is that the instructions say the appointment will be scheduled 1-3 months after they get these forms. But we already have our interview scheduled by the NVC so this doesn't make a lot of sense to me. If we are supposed to fill out Part 1....what about Part 2?

The rest of the instruction sheet says to bring documents like the Affidavit of Support which we've already submitted to the NVC.

It seems to me that there are several processes in place and that perhaps the instruction sheet I am referring to relates to applying directly to the consulate rather than going through USCIS and NVC?

Would appreciate a little more clarity on this, thanks. Just want to make sure we show up with all that we need.....

Thanks

Regards

Will

EDIT: OK....never mind.....i just realized that we sent the DS-230 along with the NVC packet (affidavit, police records and the like). I just get confused....so many instruction sheets laying around)
