DS-230

[cmboothe 0]

Hi all,

I got the forms sent to me from the US Embassy here in Ireland with the DS-230 and DS-156 form in it, on the cover page it said " Frist send the DS-230 right away because nothing can be done until we receive this" But with the packet also had like a check list of things needed. My question is, do i send the DS-230 and wait for them to get back to me or get everything on the check list and and send them, i tried to call but there was no answer. Any help or information would be great. Thanks

cmboothe,

They are asking for the DS-230 to conduct security checks, in advance of the continuing process. Send it or fax it, as recommended by the Embassy. Find out their preference.

In the meantime, gather the requisite packet 3 documents and provide that in due course. What is due course? Depends on the security processing timeline. Suggest that you keep trying to get hold of the Embassy for further guidance. Persistence pays off!!

If it's the same as here...

Step One: Send in the DS-230. (Part 1 only)

Step Two: Complete the check list, sign it, and send in copy of signed check list (or fax it)

I would only assume you dont' have to wait to hear from them to move onto step two.

Dermot,

Standard procedure at most (but not all) consular sections is to schecule the interview after both DS-230-I and the statement of readiness attached to the checklist have been sent in by the visa applicant. Other forms and supporting documentation are turned in the day of the interview.
