Why does the checklist not say to bring in the ds 230 part 2?? What is that used for and when??

It is an immigrant visa form that SOME consulates use Part 1 for non-immigrant visa applications... not all consulates do it the same way.

YMMV

I understand about part 1 but my question pertains to part 2. Should I include it in my package to take with me to the interview anyways? Or do I have to send it at any time?

I haven't actually gone through it yet, but the instructions from the Seoul Embassy were to fax part 1 asap which I did, and then to complete part 2 and bring it along to the interview.

From what I've read on this forum, you have to sign part 2 (like the bottom half of the second page of part 2) in the presence of the consular official (it does state on the bottom half, not to complete it yet).

Just my 2 cents, maybe some one has more specific advice for your embassy.

As a non-Korean, I thought getting a US tourist visa in Korea was a mission. This experience has been a whole other story. After being treated a bit like a social outcast at my B1/B2 visa interview in 2007, I'm hoping they go easy on me for my CR1 interview... details to follow.

In Ireland, I had to send in part 1, and then bring in part 2 when going for the interview, as they required it to be signed in front of the CO.
