One More Packet 3 Question
Hi. Thought we had Packet 3 licked before sending it in, but discovered one last hiccup. Sarah was looking over the checklist(IV15), and came into some confusion.
The checklist states what you should be enclosing at the end of the form:
Enclosures:
1. IV15 (the checklist)
2. Form DS-230 Part 1 "Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration - Biographic Data"
3. Form DS-156K "Non immigrant Fiancée visa application, supplement to form OF-156"
4. Form DS-2000 "Public Charge Evidence" and Form I-134 "Affidavit of Support"
5. 2 x Form DS-156 "Non-immigrant visa application"
The only problem we have with this is that firstly do I enclose the affidavit of support form as it states in point 4? I was told by other posters not too hence the confusion.
Also in point 3 it reads that a form being a supplement to form OF-156 - We do not have this form_ OF -156 it wasn't in packet 3 - do we need it? Will we have to get it from somewhere?
Thanks,
Jeff

Re: One More Packet 3 Question
In the UK at least, the affidavit of support is not needed until the interview itself.
As far as I know, the DS-156 is used instead of the OF-156...

Re: One More Packet 3 Question
Jeff,
This "Enclosures:" statement that cames at the end of the checklist is telling you what materials were enclosed with the checklist in the package you received from the consulate.
It is not telling you what is supposed to be sent back to the embassy. That information, in the DS-200os [CORRECTION: that should be checklists, not DS-2000] I have seen, is given up-front in the opening paragraphs of the document.
Regards, JEff

The DS-157 is required for MEN of a certain age [I forget off the top of my head] and asks pretty much about skills and training useful to terrorists.
I'm too old to fill out the form and am a US citizen to boot -- but I found it interesting about the training I have had -- courtesy of the US Army. [Tim McVeigh was also trained by the US Army].
