Please Help; Puting together Documents for Interview.

[Shiv 0]

All, I am getting my wife’s K-3 package ready for her interview at the Chennai, Consulate. I am putting together a list of documents that will be submitted to the VFS in Chennai and Originals at the interview. Please let me know if I have missed anything. I am so anxious; some one double checking with a cool, calm mind would reassure me.

Packaged and Ready to go:

1. DS-156 Completed for Applicant. Two copies with the Bar Code on them; I did them online and printed off.

2. DS-230 Completed for Applicant.

3. I-134 Completed, Notarized and attached the following:

a. Job Letter.

b. 2006 Tax Return.

c. 2 Months Pay Stubs.

d. 3 Months Bank Statements.

e. CD Deposit Statement.

4. Marriage Certificate Copy.

5. Petitioner Passport and Naturalization Certificate Copy.

6. Applicant Passport Photocopy.

7. Photocopies of Approval Letters for both the I-129F and I-130.

8. Proof of relationship stuff, plane tickets, my wife’s medical records to show we are having child together, marriage album, phone bill, vacation/honeymoon pictures together.

Still not ready; on list to do:

1. Medical Certificate.

2. Police Certificate from District Police Station.

3. Police Certificate from Regional Passport Office.

4. Photos for DS-156.

5. Original Birth Certificate for Applicant.

I would like to thank all you the members of VJ for being so supportive all the way; both of us could not have done it with out you guys. Thanks Everyone.

I'm not sure about the DS-230? Because I know DS-230 are for those on CR-1 or IR-1 visa applicants? And DS-156 and DS-157 are for the K-visas? (Or maybe I'm mistaken?) Also, If you also have other forms of communications like e-mals, letters/cards that you can include as proof of relationship.

Though we did K1, we (and others) gve the DSA-230 too, and it was accepted. I say the more paperwork, the better!

What about the Letter of Intent? (Is that necessary for K3 too?)

Everything else, you are good to go!

No, remember that this is a letter of intent to marry, and when filing for K-3, the US Citizen and the foreign person are already married.

I'd include:

• Copy of the entire I-129f and I-130 package (the one you sent when you filed)
• Copy of NOA2

Do K-3 filers need to bring documents to prove a bonafide marriage during the interview or this only when filing? I'd include documents to prove that during the interview just in case. Edited October 14, 2007 by eric_and_teresa

DS-156 and DS-157 are required for some countries in addition to the DS-230 form. Extra security.
