OK, I am finalizing all the docs for Fernanda's 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.

FS-157a is #8 in the list to be turned in at the Consulate Interview. The "Sworn Statement" is #9. When I look at the last page on form 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. I want to present the package to her with all the docs already in order, unsigned, so she is ready for the big day.

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) (this one comes in the packet 4)

10- Birth certificate and copy

11- Marriage certificate and copy

12- Divorce decree and copy (if applicable)

13- Death certificate and copy (if applicable)

14- Military service and copy (if applicable)

15- Police Certificate and copy (Secretaria de Segurança Pública)

16- Police Certificate and copy (Polícia Federal)

17- Police Certificate from other countries and copy (if applicable)

18- Medical Exam (sealed)

19- Affidavit od Support

- Form I-134 signed and notarized,

- USC's latest federal income taxes,

- USC's proof of current job and

- USC's proof of citizenship or greencard

20- Job offer (if available)

Ok, I printed out 3 of the 4 forms today and filled out 2 for Eliton.

I saw one sworn statement with form DS-156 (the 2nd half of the page) and also with DS-257a. In my opinion the sworn statement is the form that is included with DS-257a.

It makes sense since it is following DS-257a, right?

Eliton just received packet 4 on 2/2 so I'd think Fernanda would be receiving it any day.

I'd suggest e-mailing the consulate if you have further questions.

From what I know the statement with packet 4 is not a form that can be found at the embassy's webpage.

I think it must be because I've met girls who never received packet 4 and were still given the visa.
