Hi all, I am wondering where you can get the DS 156 and DS 156K forms, I went to the USCIS website and they are not there, can you download them from somewhere or do they just send you the hard copies in your packet 3.? We are a while away from NVC and Consulate yet we just filed lastweek but I am trying to get prepared since Montreal is so back up for interviews we want everything going fast as it can till we get there.

They aren't USCIS forms ... They are Dept of State forms--hence DS

Hello Beantown79- I just completed both of these- they have to be done electronically- meaning you have to fill them out online first and then print them out- the consulate will not take them hand-written.. DS-156, DS-156K, and DS-157 (all have to be filled out electronically) You can find them here:

DS-156 & 156K: http://evisaforms.state.gov/

DS-157: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/forms_1342.html

Hope this helps! Good Luck with your visa journey!

The are linked here on the VJ Downloads section also - the preferred DS-156 is the 'electronic' version (which is linked on VJ).

Also, double check the required forms at the Montreal consulate website or the VJ Embassy Info page. Montreal requires the DS-160 now, which is completed entirely online. That's supposed to replace the DS-156 and DS-156K, but apparently Montreal still requires them.

As others have stated above, the DS-156 should be filled out and printed using the online form at http://evisaforms.state.gov. The DS-156K can be obtained from the State Department forms page linked above, but be aware that the version available from the State Department doesn't allow you to save your entries in the form. If you want a save-enabled version, you can download one from the link in my signature (below).
