DS-156K Question

[Akiko 0]

Hello everyone.

So since we got out NOA2, I've been trying to get things together for the interview.

On the DS-156K form, I came across a few questions I wasn't sure of.

#22 asks "When do you intend to arrive in the U.S.? Provide specific date if known."

So what if I don't know the specific date? Can I just fill in an estimated date? Because I don't think you can leave it blank...

#33 asks "Do you intend to study in the U.S.? If yes, give the name and complete address of the school."

I plan on studying once everything is settled. So what should I fill in there if I am undecided of where I will be going to school?

And finally, once you print it out, it counts as your final copy, am I right? If you want to go back and change your answers, will you be able to do so?

Thank you.

You can print out and change the DS 156, DS 156K and DS 157 as many times as you want. They don't go anywhere.

When do you intend to arrive in the U.S.? WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF RECEIVING YOUR VISA.

"Do you intend to study in the U.S.? If yes, give the name and complete address of the school."

Yes I intend to study but no iimediate plans.

Hi

Am currently on the same stage as u, filling out DS156

#22- i will leave this blank (it's advisable not to make any plans till the visa is in hand- i've read it too many times on vj and thats what we are gonna follow)

#33- i will answer "NO". (i may study but not definite so no makes sense)

(if you answer YES, you can support it with: "unknown" )

hope it helps.... and best of luck to us

good answer but it doesn't have space to type this- its only answerable by giving exact date. so its either that or leave it blank.

thank you everyone.

it helps a lot.

>haole

i believe the ds-156k is an online form which converts into a pdf after you've completed it. i haven't been able to change answers and had a hard time with it. do you know what may be up with it?

and, i see you live on oahu?

I didn't fill this form out - my fiance did - but upon looking at it, the directions say "(Provide specific date if known)." Someone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming that since your move date is not known, I would say that it's probably okay to leave it blank. Or you could wait until you're at the stage in the process when the consulate contacts you, and you can guess about seven months from around that date. Since it asks about when you "intend" to make the move, it doesn't bind you to that date, and that date only - I wouldn't stress about it so much. If all else fails, you can always contact your consulate and ask about what you should answer.

it says 'provide specific date if known'. so they are obviously providing for people who don't have specific dates. shouldn't be a problem. maybe just put a month and year.
