I just received NOA2 email yesterday for K-1 and was just wondering....Can the DS230 be sent in once Kingston embassy receives the case or do you technically have to wait till they get around to sending out packet 3?

Seems like some filers are making appointments to just "drop it off" at the embassy to help speed up getting the interview scheduled and it works. Any thoughts about that? Also, Can the DS230 be sent in by the me as long as it's already filled out and my fiance signed it?

Any insight would be helpful or PM me if you wanna share.

Once the Embassy receives your case, you can submit the DS-230. Please do not wait for the Packet 3 to arrive. Here is a link for the DS-230.

This is the last document that is needed to schedule an interview.

Thanks Mrs. Scott! You're absolutely right....I will send in the Ds-230 as soon as Kingston receives our case. Gill and Jalove told me the same thing because that's all they need to schedule the interview. The other documents you bring with you later. We filled out the DS230 last month and I'll be in JA in a couple weeks to follow up.

Thanks again for responding,
Tonisha

I wanna share, I wanna share.

Just got off the phone with NVC. They now require 2 passport-sized photo to be submitted with the DS-230. So all of us that are at the DS-230 stage, make sure you have them and attach one in the little box in the upper left hand corner of the form.

I saw this posted elsewhere and now I got it straight from the horse's mouth. Good luck
