India Filiers- DS-2001 (Applicant Interview Readiness Form) Still used?

[Dave and Kinnari 31]

Hi there, this question is specfically to all India Filers.

My question is, on packet 3 on the Mumbai (Bombay) consulate webite, it still states that DS-2001 is a form that is supposed to be accompanied with the DS-230 packet (Packet 3) Anyone that recently filed is the DS-2001 for still used? I thought NVC was the one that assingns the interviews.

Here is the webpage: http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/ivforms.html

Here is the actual DS-2001 Document: http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/uploads/-F/Jg/-FJg9hccHHMNW5nXLDlxFQ/DS_2001.pdf

Thanks in advanced for any insight!

My wife had to fill out DS-2001 as a part of packet 3. We did not wanted to take chance with Mumbai Consulate.

Ok. Good to know. She is going to be sending me all of the original documents needed for DS-230 packet here soon so I wanted to make sure if this was needed or not so she can send this with the rest of the documents.

Thanks!

I did not do that form...this is what I submitted to the NVC....Document cover sheet, 2 passport photos,DS-230 Part 1&2, Copy of passport biographic page, original birth cerificate and a copy, original translation of birth certificate, original marriage certificate and a copy, original passport police clearance, and applicants statement. Packet was approved and interview date is June 6th in Mumbai. NVC does set your appointment. He does have to get another passport police clearance and take to his interview. When you print off your cover sheet their will be a link to what exactly they want. The only extras I seen on the link to the shortcut were the copies and the applicant statement.

Hope this helps!!!!!

My case was expedited to mumbai consulate. NVC did not check my or my wife docs at all. We received our interview date from mumbai consulate. If you submit all the documents to NVC then most likely you do not have to fill out DS-2001 since they will schedule your interview date.

I sent Angie a PM about this.

The actual Applicant State form is the DS-156.

She did state it was mostly used for K visa's (Fiancee).
