ds230

I am a little confused.

k1 visa - is it an immigrant or non immigrant visa?

for the interview, I know we need to fill up ds 156 (for non immigrant fiance visa) but, do we also need to fill up DS 230? Immigrant visa?

anybody here affected by the shut down of US embassies?

Thanks!

Hey there. You need to contact the embassy you are going through. The embassy in Jamaica hasn't suffered any apparent shut-down because my fiance just received his packet and has an appointment on November 1st. Also for our embassy they said to do the DS-230 (non-immigrant type) and then the other supporting forms. The NVC told me to the DS-260 ONLINE for both fiance and his son. ???

So I contacted our embassy and they answered very promptly thankfully. They said we needed the DS230 still because when we applied the rule wasn't in effect. It's very confusing; either do both or, best bet, contact your embassy and ask them which one to clarify.

K-1 is a non-immigrant visa processed in many ways like an immigrant visa.

Being you have not scheduled your interview yet: As for the DS forms, all the rules have changed, Manila updated their instructions letter and (part) of their website 9 Oct 2013, the form now used is the DS-160, the old DS forms are no longer used.

Follow the flashing arrow for more info and links to assist you in the process for Manila. The new embassy instructions letter lists everything that is required.
