I'm still waiting for NOA2 but trying to prepare ahead. The US Embassy page for Colombia, my finacee's country, mentions the DS-156 form, but not the DS-230.

What is the DS-230 and how is it's purpose different than the DS-156?

the DS-230 has 2 parts, u only have to send them part 1 as far as i know. its an application for a immigrant visa, the DS-156 is a nonimmigrant visa application. seems everybody who travels with u will need it the DS-230 as well. 156 has to be filled 2 times, DS230 only once per person.. hope i am correct. i just wonder how much i will have to pay for the k1 visa then, with my 2 kids???

goldie,

Use of DS-230-I for K2 (and K4) may be consulate specific. It was not required by the US consulate in my wife's country for her son, only for her.

Yes, the children will have to submit a DS-156 each, and maybe some other things some of which depend on age, and each will have to pay the visa application fee.

The instructions that are in the fiance(e) visa application packet should explain what needs to be done for the children. Although not always as clear as one would like it to be, reading the consulate's instructions is better than reading "somewhere".

first i thought its only the DS-230 PartI, as far as i know they need from each applicant a extra form even the kids. now i read somewhere that i have to send the DS-156 as well for my kids? so do i have to send both, and how many of each? do i have to pay then 3 times the amount??
