London K-1 Recent 07/08 Interviews: Answer Here!
OK London K-1ers.. time for you to kick down. We need some information for the knowledge base here and you are the only ones who can provide it.
Would you each please detail the process from petition approval onward to interview?
People are asking about the forms and checklists and which order they are sent back to the Embassy in order to get the interview set.
Details about DS-2000, DS-2001 and IV-15 would be VERY appreciated!!!
Help your fellow forum members by sharing your experiences, please.
thanks!

Re: London K-1 Recent 07/08 Interviews: Answer Here!
Those seem to be different forms than we used. We filed:
DS-230
DS-157
DS-156
DS-156k
I-134
I believe. Not sure what DS-2000, 2001, and Iv-15 are honestly - unless it's something we didn't have to sign or fill in, and our lawyer just did it.
Once we had the appointment letter, we could schedule the medical - had to be Knightsbridge Doctors in London, appointment was easy and quick to arrange.
When seeing the docs, bringing along any documentation from own GP or other docs regarding any existing medical conditions seems good. Vaccination records as well.
Interview was nothing - a few quick questions, easy as could be.

The signature question is on that needs answering.
It would be great if someone spelled out the steps since a lot of folk are asking lately.

Sorry, I wish I could help more. Apparently some of this went on behind the scenes for us.

2. A month or so later receive packet 3 from embassy.
3. Immediately complete and return DS-230, DS-157, DS-156 and DS-156k as appropriate (will depend on age and sex, but the instructions are really clear)
4. When you have all of the items required on the checklist return it to the embassy.
5. Await interview appointment date.
In my packet 3, the embassy had included two checklists - one specifically for K-1 applicants and one for IV applicants. I'm afraid i can't remember the names of these forms unfortunately. To be on the safe side i completed and returned both of these checklists (the items required were the same for both checklists) in the same envelope, to the visa branch of the embassy.
I think that's about the sum of it.

Were they the form DS-2001 and Iv-15V?
I was asked to send them back to the US Embassy, but I was confused about IV-15V as it seemed to be for people who apply for V visas.
Anyway, I have sent DS-2000, DS-2001, IV-15, and IV-15V.

gstring, is that the same page for Fiance K-1s, or only for Immigrant Visa (CR-1/IR-1 etc)??
Note for those who might not know: K-1s are non-immigrant visas that are prepared almost just like immigrant visas and are processed by the immigrant visa unit.

Oooo! I'm not sure???
This is the link that took me there.
http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new...visaforms.html
Maybe we could find one that works. I'd hate to confuse anyone.
I'm new and just trying to find my feet in all this.

As i mentioned above, i received both of these with packet 3, so i returned both.
DS-2000 is the instructions for how to meet the financial requirements to prove that you won't become a public charge i.e complete an I-134 etc.... This does not have to be returned to the embassy as it is merely a set of instructions. I-134 and supporting evidence needs to be taken along to your interview.
To sum up..........
1. Petition approved and sent to London via NVC.
2. A month or so later receive packet 3 from embassy.
3. Immediately complete and return DS-230, DS-157, DS-156 and DS-156k as appropriate (will depend on age and sex, but the instructions are really clear)
4. When you have all of the items required on IV-15 and DS-2001 return them to the embassy.
5. Await interview appointment date.

As I believe, you take all the items with you to the interview from the check list - IV-15. Well, that's what it tells you to do! Did you read something different?
