Ok i am a little confused. The DS156 and 156K forms, is that something i am supposed to print and send or will those be sent by the embassy to my fiancee for him to fill out?

You fill and print, and these are sent when you send the 3.5 packet.

Each consulate has different requirements and procedures. You need to know how it works for yours: http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Algeria&cty=Alger

The DS156 should be filled out and emailed to the embassy. You should also print and fill them out so your fiancee can take them with him to his interview.

The 3.5 packet is what the embassy sends your fiance once the NVC transfers your petition to the embassy. Your fiance will fill it print it and send back to the embassy with an approved courier service.

In the case with my fiancee, the US Consulate in Algiers sent him an email in NOvember telling him he needed to fill out the DS156 and DS156K and to electronically send them the DS 156K and return the DS156 when he was called for his interview. I was able to pull the forms Visa Journey under the downloads tab. The only thing he received from the US COnsulate was an email with a checklist of items he needed to complete for his interview. YOU will find that you have to do all of the leg work and research.

I will tell you the US COnsulate in ALgiers are worthless!! They will not respond and will not help you in any way. I even made a trip out there in November to try to get answers.
