Confusing info

[Ray-J 2]

I found this on the USEM's website:

Effective May 24, 2010, all nonimmigrant visa applicants will be REQUIRED to complete and submit an online visa application form known as the DS-160 Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application. The DS-160 Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application will replace the current nonimmigrant visa paper application, Forms DS-156/157/158, and other related paper forms.

Yet, when I go to the State Dept.'s site, it says that K-1's should fill out the DS-156. Can anyone clear up the confusion? Thanks.

Yep. Called the embassy. I was advised that the DS-160 is not for Fiancée K visas and she should bring DS-156, DS-156K, & DS-157. We're only a month into the process and are waiting on our NOA2, still. I just wanted to clear up the confusing and conflicting information.

The U.S. Embassy Manila does not accept DS-160's from K-1erz.

Instead, you will be required to submit two DS-156's, one DS-156K, and two DS-157's.

Best wishes for a smooth and speedy visa journey!

By submitting two DS-156 & DS-157's, you mean duplicate copies of each form?

Yes, two copies of each.

Let me know, how you did yours. I got approved May3rd and got my MNL number but have no idea if it reached the US Embassy already.

Well, I hope you started preparing all the supporting documents she'll need. If you want to know if it's at USEM already, you could call them from here at (214) 571-1600 and listen to all the options. Eventually, you'll get an option to speak to a live person. Alternatively and additionally, you can watch this thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/302190-dhl-tracking-from-nvc-to-us-embassy/page__view__findpost__p__4640725__fromsearch__1 and find out when it was sent to Manila.
