Hey All,

FINALLY! I can now participate in this forum...I was hoping to get a bit of help from you all. I received Packet 3 today, and from what my letter says..I only need to send the one form (DS-230I) - FYI: My consulate is in Sydney, Australia.

Firstly, I received a notice with the package saying that "As of November 1, 2006 everyone who applies for a non-immigrant visa to the US (including fiance visas) must use the Electronic Visa Application Form (EVAF). All U.S visa-issuing offices in Australia will no longer accept handwritten forms or any other form that hasn't been filled out using the U.S Dept of State's online system....etc etc " then it tells me to go to http://evisaforms.state.gov/

so here's my question: I went onto the site, and the only downloadable forms are :

DS-156: Nonimmigrant Visa Application

DS-1648: Application for A, G, or NATO Visa (For Applicants Applying in the U.S. Only)

so...do I fill out the DS-230I that they sent to me in the mail (ie: that would be handwritten) ...I am confused, as in the letter they say all forms must be filled in online and then printed out..but DS-230I doesn't feature on this website?

I am very confused!! Secondly, on the DS-230I form, it asks to list the dates of all previous visits to the U.S- I have been to the U.S 7 times in the past 4 years, but they only give us 3 lines to write the dates on? What do you suggest?

Thanks all!!!
