On my checklist of the interview packet it said part 1 but then again I am filing K1. I would just take both in case. Better to be more prepared then unprepared!

Thank you. Mine says Part 1 also, but I just wanted to make DOUBLE sure so I don't have any hold ups....REALLY hoping for an Oct/Nov interview. Good Luck on your upcoming interview!!!!!!!!! I assume you only sent Part 1 then because it's what your checklist stated. :-)

There are many threads here that cover this topic. A simple search and you will find your answer. You send BOTH part I and part II to NVC. Part I must be signed, and Part II should NOT be signed when you send it. Part II will be sent to the Consulate for your interview with the rest of your paperwork. You will sign part II at your interview in front of an officer. It is always good to take copies of all your paper work to the interview, so also take a copy of the DS230 with you.
