The topic title really says it all. I can almost swear that I read that somewhere. This is for a K1 in Mexico.

It is only for male applicants between ages 16 and 45.

London want a DS-157 from everyone now I think. I have no idea about Mexico.

Have you tried looking on the embassy's website?

As far as I can see on the State.gov site, it is current.
