The "Sworn Statement" in Packet #4

[joeyjoey 1]

OK, I am finalizing all the docs. In the documents at the Interview, is the "Sworn Statement" that my Fernanda will sign at the Consulate the same as the last page (page 8) of the FS-257a form? We have not received a Packet #4.

DS-156K is the sworn statement, there is a line on it saying not to write below it and not to sign until in front of the consular officer.

Joey,

I'm glad you got the answer here and sorry I couldn't be more of a help.

I'll be completing these forms this week.

DS-156K is the sworn statement, there is a line on it saying not to write below it and not to sign until in front of the consular officer.

The order the docs are presented when you arrive at the Consuate suggest that the DS-156K is not the "Sworn Statement". DS-156K is item #5 in the order of documents presentment at the Consulate. FS-157a is #8, and the "Sworn Statement" is #9. When I look at #9 (last page on FS-257a), it is a "sworn statement". But is it THE "Sworn Statement" identified in #9? Again, we have not received a Packet#4, so I am trying to make sure that we have everything for the Interview.

Documents for the interview should be put in the following order:

1- Two front view photos (name printed behind) (these passport pictures needs to show the ears)

2- Passport

3- Citibank fee

4- Form DS-230 part 1 (K3 visas only)

5- Two forms DS-156

6- Form DS-156K (fiancees only)

7- Form DS-157 (for those over 14 years old)

8- Form FS-257a (fiancees only)

9- Sworn Statement (fiancees only)

I'm sorry I can't give you more info until I look it over myself.

I'd try posting this same question in the Latin American forum - ask the brasileiras if they know.
