Jumping the Gun - Can She Mail Check List to BKK?

[SanFrancisco-BKK 0]

We just got NOA2 via e-mail on March 13. I don't even have a hard copy of I-797.

From this BKK Embassy info:

http://bangkok.usembassy.gov/services/visa...20Checklist.htm

the only Item BKK Embassy needs is a signed checklist. In a few places they say do not send anything else unless requested.

My goal, as I am sure most of people here, is to schedule an interview as soon as possible.

I know, that I am making some assumptions here:

- NVC will clear all the background checks;

- Embassy will not simply toss the checklist if they don't have the rest of documents arrive from NVC.

Is there any reason not to mail the checklist to Embassy now? Has anyone try that?

All opinions and ideas are welcome.

TIA

Alex.

Alex,

Your fiancee will need to send her DS-230-I and her signed checklist to the consulate before they will schedule her interview. I understand from others who have been through this more recently than I that they now also want a passport photo and photocopy of the passport ID page in advance of the interview.

If these things are sent before the approved petition arrives from the NVC nothing will happen.

Be careful - the checklist on the web site has some differences from the instruction sheet and checklist that will be in the visa application package.

Thank you Yodrak,

We will start working on DS-230-I, medical and police. I will also try to find an actual checklist from a Package 3. Anyone?

NVC assigns a new case number. The consulate possibly won't know what to do with a checklist that does not reference this new number.

Where it says "I-93" should be 1-93. Yes, they're still using the same one!

Thanks again Yodrak!!!

Wow, is it a typewriter? Unreal!

I guess she can send both new and old forms.

Really appreciate your help!
