Hi All,

I am just curious whether the DS-230 Part I has been required for the interview in Manila? I hear conflicting repsonses and am wondering if anyone who had completed their interview recently had been asked to provide the DS-230.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

Required docs was recently updated but I haven't seen any applicant with approvals who were asked to submit DS-230. Just on the safe side, fill out one copy and bring it at the interview.

My fiancee was asked for this document, we just filled out part I.

When you get ready to send all your documents to the embassy, this is one of them you have to send jointly with the others.

For the Philippines, they bring all required docs during the interview and none are sent to the embassy after approval or prior to interview.

It's showing in the letter as required. Whether or not anyone else has been asked for it is pretty much immaterial. The reality is you could be asked for it, why not prepare it and take it? Better to be prepared.

Good luck!
