Filling out DS-156

[nebodihome 0]

I am the petitioner but I am going to fill out the DS-156 non-immigrant visa application form on behalf of my spouse and then send it to her. Quick questions:

1.) It asks things like how long the applicant intends to stay in the US and if they intend to work/study. Obviously, the purpose of my fiance coming to the US is enter on a K1, marry and stay forever and to work/study later on... but since this is a non-immigrant form, should the answer be something like "3 months, for duration of K1 visa" and that she doesn't intend to work/study?

2.) There is an area to attach a photo to the DS-156 form. When she comes to the interview, should she actually attach the photo to both DS-156 forms (duplicates are required), or should the photos be brought separately? (I am aware that bringing photos to the interview is a requirement, I am basically asking whether that requirement is talking about these same photos on the DS-156 or in addition to these photos?)

3.) In the field where it asks who this form is prepared by and what my relationship to the applicant is... totally okay to put my name and say I am the fiance?

4.) There is a part that asks about the applicant's current job or study. If she is neither working nor studying at time of application and so leaves this blank, will this effect the outcome negatively at all?

5.) Should a separate DS-156 be filled for my fiance's daughter (my step daughter) ?

Thanks!

One more There is a part that asks whether anyone has filed an immigrant visa petition for her before. I assume she will put yes and put my name, since by the time she is filling out the DS-156, I will have already filed the petition for her?

I believe it says to fill out everything for everyone... and even if they dont need it,its better to have her name on the form than find out you need it in the end...

I just sent our stuff the the VFS office and we didnt attatch a phote to it, we put a baggie of photes with the file...

make sure you mark every line.. put NA if she is not working or not studying...

as far as putting your name, yes be 100% honest, you are the one who prepared that form or help prepare the form so be honest

Thanks!

hmm... and we thought of this the oposite way as you did... we put NO because i am the only one who has ever filed for him, no one else has filled for him before... now i am second guessing our paperwork =/ .... sorry i couldnt help with this one........

-PUT AFTER WE GET MARRIED,WE WILL FILE FOR ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS FOR PERMANENT RESIDENT.

-YES YOU NEED TO PASTE IT,MAKE SURE YOUR FORM HAS BARCODE.BUT IT'S OKEY TO BRING EXTRA.

3.) In the field where it asks who this form is prepared by and what my relationship to the applicant is... totally okay to put my name and say I am the fiance?

-MYSELF. YOU WON'T TELL THEM YOU ARE THE ONE WHO FILL UP THE FORM.

4.) There is a part that asks about the applicant's current job or study. If she is neither working nor studying at time of application and so leaves this blank, will this effect the outcome negatively at all?

-IF SHE'S UNEMPLOYED PUT UNEMPLOYED.

5.) Should a separate DS-156 be filled for my fiance's daughter (my step daughter) ?

-OF COURSE.

Thanks!
