THat makes alot of sense. We didn't have an account on the USCIS website. I was actually filling the info on there out before i read your message! Thanks once again Ozgirl! Oh by the way in regards to the DS230 form i think it was, you were right, they have a new form to be done online (I think DS260) as the paper one will become obsolete as of sometime in early Sept. Not sure which day exactly.

DS-260 is not relevant to K1's at this point. We can't even access it because we don't deal with the NVC like the IR-1/CR-1 crowd do. We don't get one of the two pieces of info (the NVC Invoice Number) required to log in to the DS-260 form interface.

As was said in a thread in the Service Center forum regarding how the transfers work:

Email/SMS #1 is sent out when they transfer the electronic contents of your file.

Email/SMS #2 is sent out when they send your physical file to Texas.

Email/SMS #3 is sent out when Texas has gotten and logged your physical file.

Anyone who was transferred on Wednesday should have gotten #1 and #2 assuming they were signed up for case updates either by doing it online or by sending in the G-1145 with the original petition.

We sent in G-1145 with our original petition and we have only the first update online about the transfer to another office.

I reckon if you give it until Weds/Thurs and see if you get another then you might be alright, if not then you might want to get on the phone to them and ask what's going on.

The US Embassy sites just seem to have done a blanket update to their sites not realising that K-1 visas don't currently get the correct login details to be able to use DS-260. If at some point we do, or our Packet 3 letters tell us to use DS-260, then we should go ahead. And even then, the Department of State site says nothing about using it for I-129F petitions, only for the ones listed there (which include I-130s).

Yep.. I have the DS230 done and happy to do another if packet 3 suggests that it needs to be done

[Nurseling 34]

Ok update today.

I got money for tax returns 500 pounds hooray then packet 3 came.

So heres what they said

An appointment for your interview will not be schedule unless we are in receipt of form DS-230 part 1. DS-156 x 2

DS-156k DS-157 x 2 checklist DS-2001 and receive the result of your medical examination.

To re validate the petition please request your fiancé to make a notarised statement of intent to marry within 90 days of your arrival in the US. And present it on the day of your interview.

So guys if you don't already know a new letter of intent is needed and it has to be notarised. I already have a new one in my hands dated 28th August since he sent all his documents to me by FedEx.

Regarding DS forms the above forms still stands forget the 260 nothing has changed yet guys still fill out your old forms . This is what my packet 3 letter dated 4th September says.

[Nurseling 34]

Now I got the job of phoning dos again to say I already sent the papers. I think they realised they were slow cos my packet 3 arrived at their door step on the 3rd of September and was signed for and they send out packet 3 to me on the 4th of September lol. Talk about being way ahead of the government lol

You don't need to take a new letter of intent unless you've not been in contact with the Embassy since they sent Packet 3 for 4 months or so. They put that on there just to inform you if you don't contact them in the 4 month timeframe from when they log your case you'll need to extend the petition by getting a notarised statement of intent. The fact you've got one anyway is fine, but I don't believe you'll need to show it. I'm sure Lost or Nich-Nick will probably say the same if you check with them in the London Interview thread.

Yes your right about that Ryan but cos I wasn't sure how long it would take I made him go get one notarised and sent to me to cover all corners lol.
