Consulate Level Questions

[captmaximus 11]

Hello fellow VJ members,

Last night we received a notification from TSC (Imagine that!) telling us that our petition has been approved. Thanks to all the information on this site and with assistance from VJ members I’m much more confident about what’s next.

A couple of questions regarding the Consulate phase of the process. My fiancée is from Guatemala and the instructions for that Consulate can be found here:

http://www.ustraveldocs.com/gt/K1and%20K3%20Fiance%20Packet%20Call%20Center%20Instructions%20%283%29.pdf

One of the required documents is the SUPPLEMENT FORM OF-156 (Comes attached to the instructions).

Questions:

1) Since they want the above form, does that also mean they want the DS-156 form? The instructions do not mention DS-156 at all.

2) When arranging all the documentation for the interview at the Consulate do you guys recommend stapling/punching holes on documents? Perhaps paper clips are a better option?

3) For pictures… do you recommend taping them to a piece of paper and writing a description with such information as names? Or would just plain pictures suffice as long as my fiancée can relay the names, dates, etc. during the interview?

Thank you so much for your time and for all the assistance.

If it asks for DS-156 that must be a form requied for that particular embassy.

i use large paper clips to keep things organized as staples are a bother to the person reviewing the papers

i would not hole punch any as some documents have narrow margins but clear plastic report covers are a help and some have notebook type edge which are 3 hole punched for a notebook / using them allows you to put in a binder without disturbing the orginal papers

GOOD LUCK

Any other ideas or input would be greatly appreciated... especially regarding the part about the pictures.

Thanks.
