p4 packet question

[caliorbust]

in the p4 packet, there's a (blank) ds230 form. i remember i filled out ds230 and submitted it as part of the p3 packet we sent back to the consulate.

 

what am i suppose to do w/ the ds230 form that came w/ p4? are we suppose to fill it out again?

The DS-230/OF-169 has to be submitted prior to getting your interview date. I'm guessing you already have your interview date?

 

If so, I'm thinking this is a clerical error (or a minor error on your part) - but - I would definitely contact GUZ and confirm that.

It may be wise to compare what they sent you with what is on there. When they sent us ours, there were some outdated forms mailed to us. We simply downloaded the correct form off of their website and used it instead.

 

In our case, we took a few copies of the DS-230 with us when we went to our interview - just to be safe. I don't understand why they would send you an additional 230 form without any instruction as to why it was resent.

 

I'd send them an email to clear this up.

yes, ds230 and of-169 were submitted as part of the p3 we sent to them. if it wasnt, we wouldnt have gotten p4 (presumably).

 

anyway, great links! thx.

 

and of course since we received p4, it also means we have an interview date. i figure the worst case is i'll fill it out again and bring it to the interview. i'll shoot 'em an email as well.
