Hello Vjyers, im double checking everything i needed for the interview tomorrow

and i just wanted to clarify something if in the DS 156 do you need to glue your picture ahead of time?

i am kind of worried right now because out of overdoing everything i placed a 2x2 picture on the DS form and St. Luke's also asked for 2 copies of 2x2 pics for the visa application and im wondering if that will be used in the ds 156 form or that was a separate requirement also the picture i glued on the form is ok except that i was wearing a necklace which is not acceptable for visa application :(

i need inputs from people who already went through the interview please, i need your inputs on this.. thank you so much

hi...for your clarifying i will answer it...for DS-156 you need to paste or glue it when you start to the bee-line at IV applicants...be ready all your ds forms before you enter to the USEM bldg...the filipina frontliner will ask that forms, with the two copy of your appointment letter and your passport...

the 2pcs. asked from St. Luke's will be forwarded to USEM, for our visa.. but if the filipina officers ask you for another pics to be replace to your pictures wearing a necklace, just bring a extra 2pcs. 2x2 pictures..

Goodluck to your interview...just think positive and pray to God... :)

I didn't glue any 2x2 pictures on my DS forms and they didn't ask me for new ones during my interview. I think it was because I already gave two 2x2 pictures during my medical examination. God bless you on your interview. :)

I didn't paste my 2x2 passport photo and they never ask another photo but just incase bring extra. Make sure to have 2 copies each form(DS 156, 156k, 157)bcoz they ask you if you have 2 copies each. Be yourself and think positive. Don't forget to pray and ask guidance. God Bless and Good Luck sis I know you will approved. Just relax and don't worry if you have alot of evidence you'll be ok. Don't forget to smile..:)
