Hi everyone,

I am looking at my paperwork, and comparing with the site, and I am starting to worry a bit. It references a form DS-230. My fiance had his interview for a k-1 visa last week, and the form DS-230 was not one of the documents requested by the consulate, so he didn't bring it with him. The visa was approved, however, and they told him they would call him in a week to pick up his passport/visa at the UPS office in Algiers.

Is that a required form that maybe the consulate overlooked that they'll need at the POE? I might be overthinking this a bit, but with this whole process I have been second-guessing myself because it is so confusing. Should I contact the consulate? The visa is apparently going to be sent to him via UPS in the next couple of days, and I would hate for there to be a form missing in his brown envelope if indeed it was supposed to be in there. Has anyone else entered the US without the form DS-230?

Sorry if this is a silly question. I looked in the guides and couldn't find any answers, so I thought I would post here to see if any of you kind people could help me!

Hi Al,

We aren't restricted in the number of characters that we can type. You can spell all the words in their entirety!

Seriously, there are a lot of people in VJ who are not native english speakers. Your abbreviations will very possibly cause confusion.

Thanks, y'all. That does make me feel a bit better. You just always here horror stories about missing paperwork, broken envelopes, missing stamps, etc., and I just get a bit panicky because I want to be sure to have everything I'm supposed to have.
