Hi,
I looked all over for this answer. The K-1 (Fiance Visa) is concidered a NON-IMMIGRANT Visa. I read thru Packet 3 and 4 and it asks for the DS-230 to be provided for IMMIGRANT VISAS (K-3 etc).
Many of what I have read tells me I need to provide a DS-230. Thus, I am confused.
Does anyone know if:... We have to send a DS-230(patr 1) with our KEV-1 (Kiev checklist) to the coloslate??? ... ALSO: Do we need to provide a DS-230 (part 1 and 2) at the interview???
Sincereply,
Justin
Full Version: Is the DS-230 needed for a Fiance Visa at the interview?

K-1 is non-immigrant visa but it needs to meet the requirements for immigrant one.That is why you are confused.
About the DS form i am not 100% sure but i think that you need to send the embassy part 1 and to bring and sign in front of them at the interview part 2.

Sil was right: you need to send DS-230 Part 1 + the checklist to the consulate and provide DS-230 Part 2 at the interview. You could still check the information by calling the local consulate so as to be 100% sure on what to do. God bless you!
DS-156 Question:
Also, question 36 on the DS-156 asks if "anyone has ever filed an IMMIGRANT visa petition on your behalf?". As I understand, the I-129F (Fiance Visa Petition) is not an IMMIGRANT petion, correct? So we only have filed an I-129F, this answer then should be "no", correct? OR "yes" if the I-129 is also covered under this
question.

Justin,
When your Fiance arrives in the US, she is a non immigrant.
After you marry and adjust status (AOS), she becomes an immigrant. This is why you need both forms.
Everyone needs to supply DS-230 part I.
DS-230 part II is Embassy/Consulate specific. Check the website for the US Embassy Ukraine for further guidance.

On the DS-156: They want to know if any other US citizen has ever petitioned your Fiance to the US.

I only submitted Part I, nobody ever asked for Part II of the DS230.
Through question 36 they try to check whether your fiancee has previously been the beneficiary of a I-129F petition or of any kind of immigrant petition filed on her behalf. If she hasn't, then the answer should be "no".
