The Police Certificate and the Certificate of Non-impediment takes about 5 - 30 days to receive. You can work on immunization shots. From other VJers, they say that their own shot record was verified at a clinic and accepted at medical.

ok,thanks but what about the DS230,I thought i saw someone mention it before for K1?

[BLAKCAJUN 25]

Do we still fill out the DS-156, 157 156k after the DS-160? or did the DS-160 replace the other 3 forms?

I received a reply from the embassy today, I was told to complete DS230 part 1 & part 2,along with DS156,DS156K & DS157 prior to my interview.

it's all weird they responded to an email i sent October 22 which was 3 days ago.I was asking them which form do i need to use in order to schedule my interview between the DS160,DS230 & DS260.they clearly stated the DS230 along with the other forms that needed for the interview.I email the DS230 & DS160 yesterday evening as i was unsure of what form they were needing.they never respond to that email i sent yesterday,but i resend the email today a minute after i receive their reply.later this evening my status update to today's date but i don't know what it means.I hope they will have my interview date by next week...*fingers crossed*

did you contact DOS and was told you had an interview date set?if that's the case, then you wouldn't need to submit the DS230.

I'm contacting the DOS today and I've sent Kingston 3 e mails requesting information but nothing:(....I feel like I'm spinning my wheels but getting no where!!!
