Hi, we applied for the K1 visa and I am waiting for the packet 4 from the embassy. :) In the meantime I started filling the form DS-156 and have some questions: :help:

1) question #26 "How long do you intend to stay in the US?" - should I write 'Forever' or what?

2) question #32 "Do you intend to work in the US?" (If 'Yes', give the name and complete address of US employer) - hmmm, don't know how to answer, because YES I intend to work there. Of course it is not the main purpose of why I go there. First of all we will get married and after getting my work permission will look for a job. Any advice what to write there?

3) question #33 "Do you intend to study in the US?" (If 'Yes', give the name and complete address of the school) - similar like the question above. I was thinking about maybe taking some course there, but yet don't know when and what kind. I guess it is the best to state 'No' then. What do you think?

Would be really grateful if anyone could help me with this form. :yes: Thank you all in advance and good luck with your process. :D
