Hi, recently there were changes in the k-1 visa forms to be filled out. Before they require you to fillout a couple of forms from ds-156, ds-156k, etc. But just lately you can just fill out 1 form which is the ds-160 and that's it. Although they still accepted the forms they used to ask the applicants to fill out. I am not sure if i answered you question. (i am actually confused about the packet thing ever since) anyway. I guess it would be better to bring the old documents you have and also having an updated one. And i hope everything goes well for your interview!

Nope, you will get a new DO NOT OPEN packet with your new petition and application documents (you may want to bring the packet just to see to see what the embassy will do with it, but it yesterday's new) .

There is a new form used by the embassy now, DS-160, there is a link to it in the embassy instructions letter.

You will need a new I-134 with a copy of your fiance's most recent tax return & W-2.
