K-1 Visa : Questions about Packet 3 and forms

[NikkiMike6513 0]

Hello everyone,

I just received the packet #3 from the Paris embassy and I have a few questions about the forms I have to fill.

If I understand well, I only need to send back to the embassy the forms DS-230 Part I (as soon as I can) and the form DS-2001 (when I have all the documents ready so they can shedule an interview)

So my questions are :

- Am I right?

- What should I do with the DS-156, DS-157 and DS-156K forms? Just keep it and bring it with me the day of the interview?

- Where do I need to go to fill the DS-156 form online? I didn't see any website address, login or password in the packet...

- Last thing, they ask if I did my military service in the DS-230 form, but there is no military service in France now, I just did one day (called JAPD).

So do you think it will be a problem if I answer "no" ? Maybe I have to bring the certificate certifying I did it (the JAPD) ?

I'm sorry if my questions are silly and/or have been answered here before but I couln't find it anywhere and I really want to be sure, I don't want to make any mistake in the process.

Thank you

You should fill out DS-230 part I and DS-2001 and send back to embassy. All other forms bring to interview, just fill it out but don't sign. You will have to sign in front of consular officer. Not sure about the military service question

Hi there,

Bring your JAPD certificate to the interview.

So, in order:

- yes.

- yes.

- just Google DS-156, and click on the first link.

- bring your JAPD certificate and a photocopy at your interview.

What if you didn't do the JAPD ? Is there any certificate we can get somewhere stating that we didn't have to do it ?

The government created the JAPD in 1998 and only girls born after the 31st december 1982 have to do it.

No worries, I don't think they care very much about the certificate anyway, they often forget to ask people for it at the embassy.... And I would think that they know girls your age don't have one, as you are not the first one.

Thank you for your answer didopage!

I was worried about that point.

So I can say "No" and I will be okay if I bring the certificate with me.
