Packet 3

[engfridak 0]

Today I received package 3. It is not just a check list, but actually all the forms to fill out. But not just that, I have to mail all my papers & all his papers. Only after the embassy receives all those, the interview will be scheduled. I don't have the I-134 yet and I thought I didn't need that till the day of the interview.. Oh well..

You dont have to send in any of the documents that are on the checklist. They are to be brought with you to your interview.

It should say on the instructions ....Step 1, Step 2 and Step 3.

Step one should say to send in the DS forms.

Unless the K-1 is different at the Consulate you are going to, but I thought all K-1's were given the same instructions.

I thought that too, but there are no steps. Just the list of the documents, and then ... All the documents should be mailed before an appointment can be scheduled.

Hi engfridak.

How are you guys doing? Very well I hope. I can not answer for the U.S. Embassy in Albania but for Bogota, Colombia the only documents that you fax and send in by courier are; a copy of passport, OF-169, DS-2001 and DS-230 part 1. Every other paper, documents and everything else is taken in the date of the interview.

Try asking other VJ members that are going through your countries Embassy and if not call, fax or e-mail them. Another thing you could try, is to call NVC they might know because the State Department send me (the USC) a packet 4 just like the Embassy sent to my fiancée, so they might know. I wish both of you the best, you both deserve it and keep me in touch.

Good luck,

Peter Miami

pink_roses,

You thought wrong. And have apparently missed the myriad posts that point out that each consulate can have different procedures to suit the local needs and conditions.

We sent packet 3 yesterday! Hopefully we didnt have to have all the documents because I have to mail him my financial stuff still....good luck

Like I recommended in your earlier post, I'd say email the Embassy if you are unsure about exactly which forms you need to mail back. If they say all forms on the checklist need to be mailed before you get an interview then I'd send them everything! However, emailing them first to be sure wouldn't hurt

Hi engfridak,

Keep us posted, what did you finally have to send in?

Good luck,

Hello!

I filed for my Albanian husband and we sent all the requested forms in. Only after Tirana received all the documents did they assign my husband an interview. He received an envelope in the mail with the instructions. As for emailing the Consulate, I emailed them all the time for various questions and occasionally got a response, but not always... be persistent!
