Filed: K-3 Visa Country: Iraq
Timeline
Posted

Hi,

I filed for I129F to get K3 visa for my husband. It was approved and sent it to the US embassy in Damascus (where we got married). I really don't know what should I do next?

Do my husband or I need to submit any forms after the embassy in Damascus receives the petition? (I heard that you need to submit DS-156 and DS-157, so that the embassy can start procesing the application and send packet 3)

Also, I heard that the embassy will contact my husband and send him packet 3. But my husband lives in Iraq, how will he be contacted(there is no postal service there).

What excatly is in the packet sent by the embassy in Damascus?

I'm confused and I need any help/advice you can give me,

Thank you,

heidee

Hello,

If the embassy in Damascus has a website, look there to see if they have instructions and forms for the K-3 visa.

You may also try emailing the Visa section of the embassy.

My husband's K-3 is being processed in Ankara, Turkey. I was able to email the embassy, and they told me that

we didn't have to wait for the packet from them. They said to download the instructions and forms, and mail them

to the embassy. Every embassy is different, but it wouldn't hurt to find out for yourself on their website or email them.

The forms that they asked from my husband were:

DS-230 Part 1

DS-156 - 2 copies

DS-157

My husband's police record - current and archived - with English translations

My husband's original or certified copy of birth certificate - with English translations

Copy and translation of my husband's passport

Our original marriage certificate with translation

My husband's military record - with English translation

I-134 Affidavit of support with copy of my most recent tax forms and W-2 forms

They wanted us to send everything via UPS, and to include a self-address prepaid UPS envelope inside,

just in case they needed to send everything back to them (if there was an error in the documents).

After they received everything, they sent us an interview letter that included more documents to

bring to the interview (medical report, receipt of paying $100 K-3 visa fee).

Good luck!

Thank you Dayna :thumbs:

But did you receive a letter from NVC about your petition being sent to embassy in Turkey? the US embassy in Syria require to send a copy of this letter. I contacted NVC and they said they will not send any letter for me.

The NVC will send you a letter with a case number for the K-3/I-129F, it will also say they

are sending your documentation to the embassy abroad.
