DS Forms advice, please help!

[vantasticvoyge 0]

I am at currently at the stage in my K-1 visa process where we have had our petition approved, it has been sent to the NVC and then sent on to the London embassy. I have now received a letter from the US embassy stating all of this and giving me further instructions on what to do next. However, there seems to be a lot of different instructions coming from a lot of different places within the embassy website and on the paperwork itself. Can anyone who has done this part of the application please answer a few questions I have?

Do I send the DS-230 part 1, DS-156, DS-156K and DS-157 to the visa immigrant unit or is it now done through their new immigration visa website that they started last week?

On the DS-156K it asks me to send my birth certificate, evidence of engagement, evidence of financial support and police certificate attached. Do I do this? and if so should it be the originals? Other sources including the FAQ on visajourney.com states that I should NOT send anything prior to the interview. Also the original letter i got from the embassy states that I should not send anything unless requested to do so. is the ds-156k requesting me to do so or does this not count? if I do have to send it with the 156k, will I get my original copies back in time for the interview?

Also, do I sign any of the form when I send them to the embassy or do I leave them all blank until I get there and sign it then?

I would really really appreciate any info anyone has, as I am at a complete loss and don't want to make any move incase its the wrong one. Thank you for your time.

1. Yes send DS-230 part 1, DS-156, DS-156K and DS-157 to the Immigrant Visa Unit. Make sure to send 2 copies of DS-156 and DS-157.

2. You don't send the items it asks for (birth certificate etc), you take those with you to your interview.

3. Sign the DS-230 part 1 and DS 156, nothing else. The DS 156K you will sign at your interview.

This might help a little http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/350185-london-2012-k1s-from-noa2-to-interview-thread/?p=5137390

And the first post here has a list of things to prepare after NOA2. You might want to see if you've done all those http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/350185-london-2012-k1s-from-noa2-to-interview-thread/

(Sorry, the police certificate link changed but is corrected a few posts down.)
