NO DS230 part II in our p4

[mchina34]

Is that normal? We are K3. The CFL FAQ only lists documents needed for K1 and it lists DS230 part II as one of them.

Crapola!

 

 

P4 Documents for K1:

 

"

1. Appointment letter in English

2. K-1 appointment (packet 4) letter

3. Appointment letter for immigrant visa applications (OF-171)

4. Important notice in Chinese for photograph specifications (GIV-1)

5. Supplemental form GNI-2

7. Family composition sheet (GIV-24)

8. Medical examination instructions (GIV-8)

9. Medical examination for immigrant or refugee applicant (DS-2053)

10. Chest X-ray and classification worksheet (DS-3024)

14. Nonimmigrant fianc¨¦e visa application (DS-156K)""

 

I guess I am wrong...looks like I was reading for CR1. I'll be back though, because I don't think we have the GNI2 or the DS156k, or GIV1. Just DS156/157, GIV8, GIV24, Appointement letter, and I think that's it.

The K-Visas don't use DS-230 part 2, that is for the immigration visas like IR-1,CR-1, that is why it is not in packet 4, and not listed on the consulate website as being part of packet 4.

 

The DS-156K is the sworn statement used by the K-visas that replaces DS-230 part 2.

David, I think you quoted the IR-1/CR-1 page of GUZ site not the K-3 (Life Act) Page SEE: http://guangzhou.usconsulate.gov/visa_packet_forms3.html

 

The GNI-2 is the statement of marriagability from the consulate and of course does not apply, the DS-156K is filled out by K-3 visa beneficiaries because they are using a modified version of the K-1 visa.

 

From DOS:

Applying for a Visa

 

The embassy or consulate where you, the spouse of an American citizen, will apply for a K-3 visa must be in the country where your marriage took place. Here are the procedures to apply. The embassy or consulate will let you know any additional things to do, such as where you need to go for the required medical examination. During the interview process, an ink-free, digital fingerprint scan will be taken. The following is required:

• Two copies of form DS-156, Nonimmigrant Visa Application
   
  
• One DS-156K, Nonimmigrant Fianc¨¦(e) Visa Application form
   
  
• Police certificates from all places lived in since the age of 16
   
  
• Birth certificates
   
  
• Marriage certificate for spouse
   
  
• Death and divorce certificates from any previous spouses
   
  
• Medical examination (except vaccinations)
   
  
• A passport valid for travel to the United States and with a validity date at least six months beyond the applicant's intended period of stay in the United States .
   
  
• Two nonimmigrant visa photos, two inches/50 X 50 mm square, showing full face, against a light background)
   
  
• Proof of financial support (Form I-134 Affidavit of Support may be requested.)
   
   
  
• Payment of fees, as explained below
  

The consular officer may ask for additional information. It is a good idea to bring marriage photographs and other proof that the marriage is genuine.

 

Documents in foreign languages should be translated. Take clear, legible photocopies of civil documents, such as birth and marriage certificates, to the visa interview. Original documents can then be returned to you.

Guangzhou does not have DS-156K listed in the K-3 download page but that may be an error on the web page, not sure is Guangzhou is different than what is posted on DOS site, but I would have a DS-156K prepared, but not signed, just in case.

We didn't get DS-230 part 2 either. We did get DS-156K.

[sawadee]

Yes that is right, DS-230 part 2 is for IR1/CR1. For k visa, you got DS156 instead.

DS156, or DS156k? Just making sure you didn't forget to attach that oh so important 'K'!

DS-156K (K-Visa application) as well as DS-156 Non-immigrant application.

I have K3, NOT K1, visa guys, is that why we might have not gotten this form? Or was this a mistake?

You should have both the DS-156 and the DS-156K. We received both.

it would be good to eventually hear from your SO if they want the DS-156K or not... the K3 is absent a list from the FAQ since I have never nailed it down with one... I'd like to eventually hear it directly from a K3...

[mchina34]

will do sir.
