DS-160, DS-260 and DS-230

[Allie & Lance 4]

Hey all (Jamaica) VJers going for K-1 I really need some clarification on this one.

Are we supposed to fill out DS-260, DS-160, DS-230 and/or which, if any, combination of the three. I am getting conflicting responses and with all of the recent changes and updates on the guides, embassy websites and responses I have been reading that people have been getting from the embassy, I can’t seem to get a clear cut answer.

I was just going to fill out all three until I got to the “pick your relationship to the petitioner” section on the DS-260 and “fiancé” was not an option. Also, I have heard that the Kingston embassy won’t even respond to you until you submit the DS-260. Can I request packet 3 (instruction packet) be emailed to me BEFORE I submit any forms in order to obtain clarification from the source?

If anyone has recently dealt with this (preferably in Jamaica) your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Best wishes on your journey!

Good day Sir / madam,

U.S. Embassy Kingston will schedule your K1 visa appointment when we receive the I-129F petition from NVC and the DS-230 form has been completed and returned.
