    Sending P3 to the consulate before all the documents are ready?

    I was wondering if it\'s OK to go ahead and send DS-230(part1) and DS-2001 to the consulate while I\'m still waiting for my police certificate. My P3 does not ask for any documents (original or copy) along with those forms to be sent to the consulate. My police certificate should be ready within...

    Hi, Does anyone (especially those who won the lottery in the past) know what the EXACT requirement for the signature on the application? I\'ve read it somewhere that if the signature on the passport is in English alphabet, you need to put the English signature AND the signature in my native...
