Had a question on the required documents during K3 visa interview. Will my wife need to bring DS-230 or DS-156/DS-3052?

On this page - http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/k_visas.html - it mentions that my spouse will need to bring:

Two completed DS-156, Nonimmigrant Visa Application forms &
Two completed DS-3052 Supplemental Application Forms

On the page for Immigrant Visas Packet IV - http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/ivpktfour.html - it mentions that we need to bring:

Completed Biographic Form DS-230, Parts 1 & 2

Hence the confusion ...

Just trying to get these forms ready; I guess I have that itch... as long as I'm occupied doing something related to this whole visa process, I feel there is some progress!! lol!

My wife will be attending the interview at the chennai embassy; do i need to prepare for packet 3 and 4 ? or is it just packet 4 ? i am confused about this.

ullumanali,

Both.

Shiv,

Perhaps if you used correct terminology rather than jargon it might be more clear. 'Packet 3' is the visa application package and 'packet 4' is the interview notification package. Both will have instructions, and some of the application package instructions may deal with items to be brought to the interview,

Follow all instructions from both packages.

Well there are technically 3 forms, so which do you mean?
She will need DS230 even though K3 is not an immigrant visa?

What forms did you get from the consulate?

Well, if I knew that, it would kind of defeat the purpose of my question, wouldn't it?

I'm trying to figure out what forms they WILL be sending my wife so I can download and fill them in accordingly from here and ship them over to her.

Thanks,

/UM,

Most, if not all, consulates will want DS-230-I. And a few may also want DS-230-II. Even though the K visas are non-immigrant visas.

Ullumanali... first i just wanna say i love ur user name... its cute...lol
ur timeline and the approval has increased my blood levels. seriously
I filed my K-3 a week after yours, and now i have my hopes high. I mean 36 days for an approval is superb but i will also settle for say 40 days..... I wish you guys all the best with the rest of the process. I hope some of ur fast approval luck rubs on me as well.

Thanks Yodrak. Does anybody know what's the deal for the Mumbai consulate with these forms?

Best,
/UM




Haaha! Thank you! My wife's name is Manali, so at our wedding my uncle comes up to us and goes - "Well, if she's Manali, you must be... Ullu?"

I do hope that people around my submit date see a speedy approval from CSC as well. You can't imagine how happy I am after trying to convince myself that I can make it through CSC's advertised long wait-times! Was an awesome surprise

Best Wishes to you two as well!
