No. The DS-160 does not apply to the K-1 Visa.

Good luck.

Double post?

You better checkout the Manila embassy website before you accept "no" as an answer.

Not a US Embassy Manila issue. It is a decree of the Department of State.

hmm I do see that now but I still would feel safer by filling it out before the interview. I guess Len86 can do what he or she wants but I still would adhere to the embassy's beck-and-call even though I see it plastered on this http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/forms/forms_4230.html webpage.

Whatever...I know what I would do...you do what you will do and leave at that. All I am out is a few minutes if it is not required...no big deal. If so, in the end you can say "I told you so" and I will still feel fine with my decision.

Interesting...well I guess you have your answer. Manila might be totally wrong in requiring K1's to fill it out but they are the ones you have to answer to at this point. So be it.
