DS-2001 still used?

[AleGwi 11]

I finished all my London embassy checklist. My ceac status says ready for interview etc and what to do if I have received my appointment letter and what to do if I haven't.

Do I need to send a DS-2001? I sent DS-160 and DS-260. I have all my documents ready, medical this Friday and I guess am just waiting for my appointment letter.

I've noticed other people using forms DS-230 etc, but these seem a while ago and I believe now have been replaced by the online DS-260. However, I have seen recently (last 2 months) that people have submitted the DS-2001 form to say they have everything and are ready.

I have not seen anywhere on anything I have that tells me to do this, had never even heard of it before. (I even had to look up what it was for)

If I need to send it still though, then where do I do this? I googled it and in one hit (london embassy website) said in the mini description that it is no longer in use. However, when I opened that page, it gave a 3 step structure and part of step two it says I need to notify the immigrant visa unit that I am ready (although no mention of DS-2001 or even how)

Long story short, do I need to send it(or anything)? Because I'll be waiting a while for an interview if I do and haven't sent it! :/

I actually answered that in you other thread, but will copy it to here

The London K1 instructions are here http://london.usembassy.gov/iv_15.html. The checklist you are reading was cobbled together and is not quite giving you the K1 instructions. London has made changes recently and their website and the form you are looking at haven't been done very well.

Follow the website http://london.usembassy.gov/iv_15.html because that checklist you have is geared more for a spouse visa.

Website says K1 completes the DS-160. That is correct. This was new Oct 7, and followed a Sept 1 change, so you can understand how some of the procedures got garbled as they were changing rapidly. The DS-260 is for spouse visas so don't do it.

See Step 2 on the London website http://london.usembassy.gov/iv_15.html. It says when you have gathered your documents, submit the notification of Applicant Readiness. They say email it, but it's actually an online form submission. And they don't really say where to find the form. They end that paragraph with leftovers from the old instructions when a paper Form DS-2001 was put in the post to the contact address they refer to. I told you they have cobbled together a mess. To find your online notification of readiness form, look in the right column, second paragraph where it says:

"The document checklist Form DS-2001 is no longer in use. Please download this list of required documents. Once you are in possession of all of the documents required in support of your visa application, you are required to notify the Immigrant Visa Unit by email. Read more..... "

If you don't click that Read more..... ", you will not find the form to submit. So click it and go to another page with a link to the form you need at the end of the page. Submit the form so London knows you are ready to receive an interview date. Edited November 26, 2013 by Nich-Nick
