Now I'm getting concerned. It took me a long time to fill out and print all those forms and I sent them recorded delivery to the address listed in packet 3. I don't even know if they received them because nobody signed for my parcel even though Royal Mail lists it as delivered. I've got the letter from the embassy to prove that they asked me to send them all and not bring them to the interview, but reason doesn't seem to figure into this process much.

Well, since you have sent them, to err on the side of caution, I would complete and print a second set to bring to the interview. better safe than sorry.

We need Rosemarie L or Freecake to come along and weigh in on this since they are recent K1 aprovees.

Yes, that sounds wise, better safe then sorry! I wonder why they changed the instructions? :wacko:

I thought the whole point was that you are supposed to sign the forms in the presence of the Embassy official.

You mustn't sign that form until you get to the embassy but you do sent it in with Packet 3.

And had they misplaced them? Did you receive any correspondence from the embassy to say whether they'd received them? Had they received them at all? And did you send them to this address:

Immigrant Visa Branch

United States Embassy

5 Upper Grosvenor Street

London

W1A 2JB

They didn't misplace them so I took a copy to London for nothing (but it's good to have the peace of mind to know they are there if needed). I received no confirmation of receipt from them but I did ring the Department of State about 8 days after the package was sent to the Embassy and they were able to let me know my interview date.

WOW! Thanks for all the response on this and sorry to make anyone nervous about how they did it! We are going to do the same as Rose and send in all the forms with the checklist and the DS2001 and also take copies to the interview. cannot hurt to be overprepared!
