wow too quick congrats... by the way why they dont need police certificate for Afghanistan and Pakistan???

Thank alot everyone appreciated help

Ok, I see. Well, you can log into your DS-160 application and save it to your computer and print it out from there. Check the FAQ for how to save it > http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/forms/ds-160--online-nonimmigrant-visa-application/frequently-asked-questions.html

Jay-Kay;

Thank you i think after reading content in this link i m sure that it is not required for the whole DS-160 to be printed and taken to the interview. they will only require one page confirmation to be provided and rest they can retrieve my application.

But What about my second question? DS-156K????

Is what you copy and pasted in your post from the interview letter?

This? >Complete the DS-160 application form online (you must fully answer all questions on the application) and print the one page confirmation sheet

If so, this does not state you have to bring a copy of the filled out form. It says you must answer all the questions and print and take the one page confirmation sheet.

Jay-kay; the other part is also part of the same sentence... stated as under

Complete the DS-160 application form online (you must fully answer all questions on the application) and print the one page confirmation sheet plus a print out of the fully answer form DS-160

That's weird. After I filled out DS-160 form there was disclaimer saying don't bring copies of DS-160 form to the interview. Only the printed confirmation page. I guess it might be changed now.

This is what mine said too... but now my interview letter says bring one page confirmation and completely filled application form as well... no confused what to do with this...

The DS-160 form is filled in online. At this site. ceac.state.gov. After filling in this form there would be a confirmation page to be printed. That confirmation page will be brought to your interview.

Yes but they are asking for fully answered DS-160 as well along with this one page confirmation.

My interview appointement has mentioned documentations that has to be brought on the day of interview but i am confused in the following:

>Complete the DS-160 application form online (you must fully answer all questions on the application) and print the one page confirmation sheet plus a print out of the fully answer form DS-160. where do i print out this fully answered form from??? i can only retreive back the one page confirmation

Form DS-156K

If your children will apply with you, one copy of Form DS-160 for each child must be completed in full. IS this form DS-156K a must for everyone or its only for those having kids and applying for their visa???

Any further tips in avoiding AP will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance everyone...

yes they will email you a interview date, not the nvc, it should take 2 weeks from when the embassy recieve your case.

Thank you for everyones' reply. I have one more question. How do i know that the embassy of US in Abu Dhabi has received our approved petition?

Hello guys

Our K1 case was approved on 11th of March and then was sent to NVC and then to the US embassy in Abu Dhabi. Now when iam checking our case status says

"IN TRANSIT

Your case was schuduled for interview and the date was provided to you was National Visa Center"

So my question is that i dont have any interview letter yet from NVC should i call NVC to ask for it or should i just wait.

Thatnk you for your expert opnion.

you're right, well days after receiving the NOA2 I did online but haven't paid yet. still waiting for the notification from the embassy.

I filled and submitted DS-160 at the end of last month. What about yours? i couldn't see your timeline.

What Packet 3 really is?

Hello Mr. Khalil,

we are on the same boat, but based from the AUH information we just have to wait to be notified by the AUH US Embassy for the interview date. It will take 3 to 4 months of waiting. Be patient

hello AUH33;

Nice to meet you

3 to 4 months... hmm sounds longer time han no problem time passes soon

When did you fill your DS-160?

Hello friends;

Since our case was approved and it was sent to the US embassy in Abu Dhabi from NVC. I have already filled up the online DS-160 form. I just wanted to know that is that it? or do we need to do something else too? If that is it then what is the wait time for the call from the embassy for interview? and what documents would be required for that. I know they will send a letter stating all the documents but still i just wanna be a step ahead :)

Thanks in advance

Count about 13 days then call the National Visa Center and ask them for your Case Number so you can track your case. At this stage USCIS website no longer useful for you. You just have to be patient to obtain your case number. By the way, we have similar timelines. I am now also waiting for the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi to contact me with all the details about the medical examination and interview date. We got our National Visa Center hard copy letter by mail after 22 days of obtaining the hard copy of NOA2.

The letter states that I (the beneficiary) have to fill out the online form DS-160 and wait for the US Embassy of Abu Dhabi to contact me.

We have similar case, keep me updated and keep in touch

Hope the information I provide will give you an estimate time of the things happening here.

Good luck

Hello blacknight1609:

nice to see someone waiting for the same embassy as ours. We this morning we also got letter from NVC asking to fill up DS-160 and wait for the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi to contact.

Let keep eachother updated

Hello friends;

Our case is going pretty calm. Petition has been approved on 11th March and according to online tracking they have mailed notice to the address but we haven't got any yet. So how many days it takes normally to reach to us? and what is the next step after this?

Thank you for answers in advance.

congratssss... share your timeline with us

for Afghanistan...

Police Records : Unavailable.

You're fine. No need to secure one for Afghanistan.

Thank God. But I need to get from my home country and from UAE

I was going through the pinned topic which about General K1 petition and rules it doesn't require any police clearance certificates for K1 visa...

this shows that I have to get certificate from Kabul, Afghanistan too which is nearly impossible for me now as I am not living there nor going their anymore...

My fiancée living in the US and I living in Dubai can we apply for DCF???

Thanx guys...

Guys my fiance's n my target date for filing our K1 visa is 20th of Dec but i have a question. Do i need police certificates from all those places n countries where i have been living?

Thanks in advance for guidance...

Well for everything other than english language has to be translated to english...

I am sure this post is here on VJ but I couldn't find it for some reason. can somebody give me a link to the post where I can find the list of documents to send with K1 form?

Thanks in advance
