Wrong forms in Packet 4

[RaTBoX 1]

A little while ago, I got my Packet 4 from London.

The cover letter said "... an outline of what your visit to the Embassy will entail is listed in the enclosed package, IV 18 (or IV 19 for K1 and K3 visa applicants)."

Now, I'm going for the K1, but they sent me IV 18 instead of IV 19.

IV18 talks about the cost being $335 and has no mention of I134, but instead says I864 is needed.

I don't know what else is different.

I've emailed the londonconsular address on the advice of the Embassy hotline, but I've heard nothing back so far. Do any of you guys know if there is a copy of IV 19 online anywhere?

Can't help you on the form I'm afraid, but Congratulations on getting the interview date. I'm going to add you to the London list if you don't mind.......

Good thing you understand the process!

Did the embassy hotline give you a code to put in the subject line to the londonconsular address? If so, you should get a response pretty soon.

My gut instinct is that since you need what's actually needed, you should be okay downloading everything from the USCIS site. That is as long as the interview date letter makes it clear that it's an interview for a non-immigrant visa.

EDIT - Just re-reading your comment... You're saying that you're not sure what's actually needed right? It's definitely the I-134 and the K1 folder should help you with the rest. I bet you'll get a response (if you had the code for the e-mail) within the next couple of days though. Let us know what happens.

Not at all, ta very much.

Yeah, they gave me a code, and told me to make it to the attention of the IV branch. I sent the email about 10 days ago, and after I sent it I got the automated response telling me it was taking them between 3 and 4 days to reply to emails. I've heard nothing back since though.

Oh, I am pretty much ok with what I actually need for the K1 interview, it was just in case there were minor details about what to do when I arrive etc that may have been on IV 19 which were different from what the IV 18 said.
