Are the forms required for K1 visa now compeltely different? We were going to fill out the forms beforehand so we were prepared..... but now it seems like DOS changed the requirements.

Is all that's required now DS-160 & DS-260 and I-134?

Please don't tell me to go to the VJ guides. They aren't updated or answering my Qs.

It might vary depending on embassy but certainly for London we only have to send in DS-160's confirmation page and DS-2001 now. I checked the Islamabad Embassy site but trying to find info on it regarding any specific K-1 procedure is like trying to draw blood from a stone.

I'd assume at this point that you send DS-160's confirmation page in along with DS-2001 and then of course take I-134 and everything else in on the day of the interview.

Hello :)... Yes, the forms are different now. It changed on October 7th. All forms are replaced by the online DS-160. If you visit the link below, it tells you what you need. The islamabad embassy website also gives the link to travel.state.gov

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_2994.html#5

According to the link, only DS 160 has to be completed and the confirm page has to be bought to the interview. The I-134 is optional for Islamabad but I would take it no matter what. I am currently working on this step as well because we got our approval a few days before the change. Have you received your case number from NVC yet. If so, you should email the embassy to double check if anything else is needed. Thats what I will do. I am just waiting on the NVC part.

Hope this helps :)

Thank you! And yeah the Islamabad site isn't the most helpful

I'm still waiting for NVC to get the case & give the case number. I called and they hadn't received it. It's been 14 days since I was approved but still nothing.
