Submitting to VFS

[Jas S 0]

Hey all, as per your advise I submitted some of the paper work. I went to the Nehru place VFS office in Delhi today to submit some docs.

I submitted the following:

-Photocopy of Passport

-Photos

-Birth Certificate (Original & 1 Copy)

-Marriage Certificate (Original & 1 Copy)

-Proof of Relationship (I submitted the wedding card and a couple of emails. I figured I will bring most of the evidence at the interview)

-Police Report from Her Local Passport Office

-DS156

-Medical Report

I did not have the following:

-DS230 Part I & II

-Local Area Police Report

-DS156K

-Affidavit of Support (I thought I would just submit this at the interview with up to date infomation)

Here is the problem. Do I have to submit DS230? Because my packet 4 doesn't even list that as a requirement. I never had my wife get the Local Are Police Report, I didn't know we needed it. We did get the report from her local Passport office, I thought that was all which was needed. DS156k? We submitted DS156, what the heck is the one with the K, and what is the difference. Again Packet 4 only lists DS156 as a requirement and does not list DS156K.

If your wife's passport was issued within the last six months, you only need to get the police certificate from the local passport office.

Yeah I saw that, however her passport was issued in 2004. Thanks for trying

Glad you submitted the paperwork to the VHS office.

We did K1 and they only asked for DS-230 Part 1 not part 2 (I think Part 2 is only for married couples). Anyway we submitted both Part 1 and 2 just to be safe, and they accepted them both. I would suggest filling it out and bringing it with you to the interview just in case. Better safe than sorry!

Try to get the Local area police report, I have heard of visas being held up until that is submitted. (Also heard of people not submitting it and still getting visas - again, it depends on the IO you get and the office, so better safe than sorry!)

In several places I read that DS156K is specifically for men not women. For women, The DS156 is enough (men submit that too). I have heard of women filling that out and submitting it too anyway, just to be on the safe side. It is a very small half-page form basically just requiring a signature. It is probably not required for you guys but again, if you have a few minutes to print it up online and fill it out, that is an option.
