Why does the K1 Visa have 4 Biographic Information Forms?

Question

With the k1 visa form why are there 4 of the same pages for the biographic information? Do I need to fill this all out?

Answer 1

First of all, be sure that you read the instructions before starting. It will save a lot more time and trouble that it takes to make more prints. I am not familiar with the K1 visa application itself but I do remember having to fill out four biographic info forms all the same. Yes you do have to fill them all and you cannot submit a xerox for the other three! You must submit all four originals. I can't tell you for sure but I believe the reason behind it is that the embassy keeps several copies of it in separate departments to be used for their verification. For example, one department uses it to check if previous addresses are accurate and another checks to see if there are any criminal reports/records etc. Fill it out as accurately as you can and don't supply information that isn't necessary (for example if they ask to provide addresses from places that you have lived more than six months and you lived at a certain place for only three months, then skip it all together and only note the addresses in which you lived longer than six months). If you need more space to fill out the addresses or jobs then you have to make a continuation sheet. Basically you just write on a blank piece of paper Continuation Sheet, Part B - Section 3. And make a similar column and fill the rest of the info. Also if you have any statement regarding your income taxes then you will have to have it notarized by the embassy/consular. It won't cost you anything mainly just time so don't stress out too much. Good luck and safe travels.
