Does the DS-230 need to go to the hospital?

[TaijiMonkey]

Does the DS-230 need to go to the hospital with all the other medical?

 

Or does it only need to go to the Interview?

[dnoblett]

NO, You sent Part 1 to GUZ after receiving P-3.

 

Part 2 is NOT used for K-visas, DS-156K has the sworn statement.

[george lee]

The OP (TaijiMonkey) is doing a K-1 visa, so does not use DS-230 part 2, and does not send anything to NVC.

 

In your case (CR-1 or IR-1) visa you do send the whole DS-230 part 1 and 2 to NVC.

dnoblett,

 

thanks for the quick reply!!!

[TaijiMonkey]

Cool, thanks.

 

Next question about the DS-156K then...

 

It asks for "Evidence of Engagement to Your Fianc¨¦(e)" and "Evidence of Financial Support"..

 

What do I need to include with the DS-156K to cover this??

 

 

And if I am not mistaken, the DS-156K needs to go with her to the Medical Exam... does this "Evidence" need to go to the Medical as well?

Thanks Steve, but that was not my question.

CFL FAQ for P4

 

Which says:

 

Items to bring to the medical exam:

 

K1, K3:

1) Four (4) passport pictures (print name on back)

2) Beneficiary ID and Passport

3) P4 Appointment letter (make copies; give them a copy if they will accept it)

4) P3 collected docs from OF-169 checklist (divorce, police, marriage, police certificates, etc -- make copies)

5) P4 (K1 list) (make copies)

a. DS-156 in duplicate: 2 in English ; 2 in Chinese ; (sign); attached (2) passport photos of beneficiary to each (total of 4 pics)

b. DS-156K in English ; (do not sign ; beneficiary will sign at consulate)

c. DS-157 in duplicate: 2 in English ; 2 in Chinese ; (no signature needed; no signature block)

d. GNI-2 , Supplemental Form (do not sign ; beneficiary will sign at consulate)

e. GIV-24 , Family Composition Sheet (sign)

f. Medical docs from P4

g. Certification of legal capacity and intent to marry (K1: do not sign; beneficiary will sign at consulate)

6) Have blank forms for P4 docs (in case something is wrong)

 

 

The DS-156K says that along with my fiance¨¦'s Birth Certificate and Police Certificates, they also want "Evidence of Engagement to Your Fianc¨¦(e)" and "Evidence of Financial Support" to "be attached".

 

 

 

I thought the "Evidence of Financial Support" went with the I-134 at the Interview, not in the paperwork that goes to the Medical Exam.

 

Do I need to include the "Evidence of Financial Support" with the DS-156K too?

 

And what about the "Evidence of Engagement to Your Fianc¨¦(e)" for the DS-156K? Do I need something there as well?

[applebee88]

we need TWO Sets of I -134 for the interview?

Do I need to include the "Evidence of Financial Support" with the DS-156K too?

 

And what about the "Evidence of Engagement to Your Fianc¨¦(e)" for the DS-156K? Do I need something there as well?

I can understand the confusion... just do this:

 

DS-156K with medical; I-134, bring to interview... just as we say everywhere in the FAQ and in posts.... don't dissect what we have already embalmed!

[david_dawei]

we need TWO Sets of I -134 for the interview?

The Instructions say:

A separate affidavit must be submitted for each person.

 

This instruction... I would follow...

[TaijiMonkey]

 

I can understand the confusion... just do this:

 

DS-156K with medical; I-134, bring to interview... just as we say everywhere in the FAQ and in posts.... don't dissect what we have already embalmed!

 

hehe... okay, I know that already.

 

Maybe I'm just not being clear in my question: Sorry!

 

I have everything for the I-134 ready to go.

 

But my question is about what goes WITH the DS-156K at the Medical:

 

The DS-156K asks to attach "Evidence of Engagement to Your Fianc¨¦(e)" and "Evidence of Financial Support" to the DS-156K.

http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/82063.pdf(Just below question # 5)

 

If:

 

a.) the DS-156K goes with the Medical

 

and

 

b.) the DS-156K asks for "Evidence of Engagement to Your Fianc¨¦(e)" and "Evidence of Financial Support" to "Be Attached to the DS-156K"

 

then I would assume

 

c.) I need to attach "Evidence of Engagement to Your Fianc¨¦(e)" and "Evidence of Financial Support" to the DS-156K I send in with the Medical

 

 

 

So my question is this:

 

What "Evidence of Engagement to Your Fianc¨¦(e)" and "Evidence of Financial Support" to I attach to the DS-156K when it goes to the Medical Exam??

 

 

 

Does that make sense?

[david_dawei]

Nothing goes with the DS-156K.. it stands on it's own... just ignore the comments...

 

Just follow the list you originally quoted as to the necessary forms for the medical...

[chilton747]

NO, You sent Part 1 to GUZ after receiving P-3.

 

Part 2 is NOT used for K-visas, DS-156K has the sworn statement.

 

do i have a problem where i sent ds-230's part 1 and part 2 to NVC? the instruction says sent part 1 and part 2 to NVC.

The OP (TaijiMonkey) is doing a K-1 visa, so does not use DS-230 part 2, and does not send anything to NVC.

 

In your case (CR-1 or IR-1) visa you do send the whole DS-230 part 1 and 2 to NVC.

 

For CR1 and IR1 only part 1 of the DS230 goes to the NVC. Part 2 of the DS230 goes to the medical.
