Interview packet delivered to Kristien
Again, I’m impressed by the speed of this process. Kristien received a two-page letter from the US Embassy in Brussels. The letter briefly describes what she needs to submit to the US Embassy prior to her interview. There are five enclosures and some things I need to complete. The enclosures are:
- Form DS-230 I, Biographic Data, Part I
- Form DS-156, Nonimmigrant Visa Application (2 each)
- Form DS-156(K) Nonimmigrant Fiance(e) Visa Application
- Form DS-167, Public Charge Evidence
- Medical Examination Instructions
Because the United States government does not want Kristien to be an economic burden, I need to submit proof that I can support her. It’s time for more paperwork: Form I-134. More will follow on that subject.
Now back to the letter she received. Kristien sent me a scanned image and I was taken aback. The date is not typed, her name “Ms. Coninx” is hand written and there are check marks and scribbles on the directions. It’s the complete opposite of the forms I recieved from the USCIS and NVC–they all were clearly typed, uniquely identified, and printed on some form of security paper. Regardless, it arrived and we are both pleased.
A total of 58 days have passed since I mailed the petition packet.
