hi everyone,

i'm a little confused..on the us embassy in manila website it says the ds-160 form replaces

the DS-156/157/158 forms but on the us immigration website it says that the ds-156 and ds-156k

are still needed along with the ds-160 for k-1 visa applicants.can someone please clear this

up for me who has gone through the process in manila? thank you.

usembassy manila still use the old ds forms for the k1 visa applicants.the ds 156,156k& 157.goodluck!!!

Good day!! I agree..the Manila Us embassy does not use the DS 160..let your fiancee have the DS 156,156K,157..if she will bring Ds 160 with her on her interview, she will be asked to fill up DS forms there..God bless!!

That is correct! K-1 Visas are using ONLY DS 156, 156K, 157

Good luck!! :thumbs:

Be sure to tell your fiancee not to believe the peddlers trying to convince her she needs then sell her the DS-160 in front of the embassy.

The DS-160 is for use with a non-immigrant application. It does not apply to a K-1.And it can be done online, saved buy the DOS and brought up at different embassys.
