c) A complete copy of your passport (all pages) and the “applicant’s Statement” sign and date it, and return the checklist to consulate.

Here's what I got in my packet 3:

- info regarding pictures to be taken;

- info regarding police records I have to get;

- DS230 (part I) and DS2001 (to be filled out by me and sent once I had all the documents needed;

- I134 and poverty guidelines;

- info about birth certificate;

- info about military, marriage certificate, death certificate or divorce decree, if applicable.

3. Mail all this and the checklist back to consulate immediately

Copy of my passport and birth certificate, and one passport picture were to be sent with the DS forms.

4. Then they will mail Package #4 with the Medical Examination information

· She will need records for all vaccinations done

· Must have her passport

· 3 identical passport photographs

· Need the appointment letter

The report written by the doctor. She'll need to take vaccines and an HIV test as well as for syphilis. My packet 4 came with the following forms: DS156, DS156K, FS257a, and DS157. Some of them were not be signed beforehand, so they can be signed in front of the CO at the interview. She'll need to bring passport and the letter, of course. I don't recall how many passport pictures they asked from me.

Interview

1. In packet #4 there will be the Appointment Letter

2. Make sure you have the following documents

· DS-156

· Medical Examination Report

· Birth Certificate (Long Form)

· Police Certificate

· Visa Fees $100.00

· Completed DS 230 (both parts)

· DS-1858

· DS-156K

. I-134

· Complete copy of fiancée visa petition

· Letter of intent to marry and continued intent

. Appointment Letter

· Proof of Relationship

Ø Correspondence between us, Letters, e-mails, IM's, phone bills, post cards, and cards.

Ø Photographs taken together

Everything requested with packets 3 and 4, as above, plus proof of ongoing relationship. A new leter of intent is not a must do. Originals of every notice you got from the service centers may be a good idea.

I only offer advice - not even legal. Just the plain and simple kind.

You're welcome!

We both forgot to mention the supporting documents that go with the I-134. And as for DS230 Part II, nowhere in the instructions in packet 3 and 4 they mentioned I should fill it out.

After packet 3 you dont need to send any documents there. You have to send ( fax) back only wrw-1 cheklist and DS-230 part one (not all four pages, but only two). Some says they send this form (DS-230) some no, because k-1 visa is not immigrant visa. But i will, i dont want make suprises on my own way.
