Hello VJ-ers,

I am preparing my Fiances Visa applications and have a quick question. On the travel.state.gov site it says you need DS-156 (2 copies), DS-156 K, and DS-230. However, there are other forms such as DS 157 and DS 158. Are those also needed or those are for different cirsumstances? I checked the embassy website for Islamabad and got no information there :(

Thanks in advance for any replies and best of luck to us in our journey..Ameen :)

Check your embassy, what is needed at one may not be needed at another. You can also check in your regional forum as they'll have the best idea for you! :)

The DS forms indicated on the site are what they are asking but there is no pain to bring the other forms also, right? DS 157 is needed. I brought my DS 230s and they didnt ask for that. Better be prepared.
