Hey guys am on the final stage of gathering all the documents to send to my fiance for her interview but am not sure if i should staple the forms like the DS-156 it has two pages and DS-156k one page and DS-230 part I and part II together four pages and the I-134 has two pages. So is it ok if I staple them or should i just use paper clips? your help is appreciated and thank you in advance.

I don't think it matters. I'm using paper clips, but it's not like they'll deny the visa for using the wrong fastener. :D

You may have gotten caught up in a name check.

Hang in there. You know the petition isn't lost because they are touching it. And it sounds like you don't have an RFE yet either, so that's good too!

OK heres a question. the K-1 visa is a, technically, non-immigrant visa and thus would require forms DS-156 & DS-156k. my fiancee picked up packet 3/4 or whatever you want to call it and it asked for form DS-230 and states that the we have to pay $400 for the visa. this all sounds like an immigrant visa and not a non-immigrant visa. i got in touch with the embassy earlier this week and they emailed me a copy of what they said they were going to give my fiancee, its titled packet 4 and says that forms DS-156 & DS-156k are required and the visa should cost $131. we are now very confused. i'm sending another email to the embassy to try and straighten it out but i wanted to see if anyone had any comments on this.

thanks again to everyone and i hope everyone still waiting gets their approvals soon.
