you have to do ds156 ds156k and 157 all can be found on the us embassy of kingston website. One of the forms has to be done as it will generate a bar code print all forms filed out in duplicate..

In addition to that, don't forget your non-impediment and police record. You will need these as well and I believe about 6 or 8 passport photos. Good luck on your journey! star_smile.gif

Thanks MRSTee, I told my fiance about those. He is going to look about his son's passport at the RGD and do the no-imped same time. Police record I think he needs to wait until he gets the letter from the embassy.

The police record and non-impediment forms are good for one year and I suggest you get them ASAP!!

The RDG is no joke (took 5 months to get ours) and you want to know that you have a clean police report right away...

Lawny used to always tell people to get the police report before they file a thing.

Probably good advice!

I think it depends on which office you go to. He will be going to the office in St Ann's Bay. For the police record, dont they have to have documentation from the embassy to say why they need it or is it only when they go for their medical they need that from the embassy. If he doesn't need it, I will have him go look about it early next week.

I bumped a topic for you that has Packet 3 info/forms.

JaP, I didn't think about the police record before filing. I thought about health! I had the paperwork all ready to file, but waited for the blood test results before I mailed it off. :lol:

I received this in an e-mail from the Embassy on May 11th this year:

REMEMBER:

The medical report and police certificate expire after 1 year.

The visa fee payment is good for 1 year after the initial interview.

Hi all, I'm very new to this process and I have a few questions that I'm hoping someone can answer.

1. Does anyone know if the fiance' (petitioner) has to be present at the interview in Jamaica or is this optional?

2. Should the paperwork requested in Packet 3 be submitted to /dropped of at the Embassy prior to the interview?

I've read and heard different stories and am just trying to prepare my fiance' as much as possible. I've heard that they will give you a receipt for the documents if you take them in... and you get them back upon completion of the interview.

3. Since some Jamaican residents don't have physical addresses... is this a problem with the delivery of Packets 3 and 4 or is it just very time-consuming?

Thanks in advance!! :thumbs:
