Hello.

It says to list all the countries I have entered the past 10 years. I lived in Germany and in Greece, and I traveled someday on 2007 to Portugal for 2 days for vacation with a stop in Italy for 5 hours (waited in the airport). Should I include all those? And my trips to the US?

:thumbs:

Just curious to know why you're filling out that form - I didn't have to do it as part of my K1 application, is it something consulate-specific?

That's odd. Because DS-157 is one of those forms you need to fill up when you're under K1 visa here in Philippines. :D

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to Him,
and He will make your paths straight.

In GOD we trust. † = ♥

yes, list all the countries. (I just didn't list layover countries, but all the rest, even if just for a few days, you should list)

:thumbs:

No, it isn't embassy specific. The proof you need, if you need to send them or bring them etc, this is embassy specific. How to fill the form itself is not. You should use exemple forms: http://www.visajourney.com/content/examples

Good luck in your visa journey!

From the day we sent I-129F to the day I recieved my K-1: Exactly 9 months

The DS-157 is not required to be filled by everyone. The instructions will tell you whether you have to fill it or not.

In Greece, it was only required for males.

Your I-129f was approved in 85 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 225 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS

NOA1: 07/18/13

Biometrics: 08/13/13

EAD/AP approved: 09/17/13

Hi, I wonder if someone can helpd me:

In last 10 years I have travelled a bit around Europe (all for pleasure/visiting family/friends) and as EU citizen I dont get stamps in my passport. I am worried I will not be able to remember every single trip I made... :bonk: I also made multiple travels to some countries i.e. Spain or Germany. Would writing it down like below be ok, could it be a problem iff I fail to recall some trips?

Poland yearly 2004-2012

Germany 2009,2011,2012

Spain 2009,2011,2012

Ireland 2012 etc...

These forms should be more user friendly, thats for sure!

It is not where I breathe but where I love that I live.

Yeah, same problem. Wish I always got stamps

I am intending to complete it as you are. I don't think they want specific dates, so just the year should be plenty.

I honestly don't know how they verify it, anyway, since Europeans can cross borders freely on foot/car/train etc. without it being logged electronically. Only last year I took the train from UK to France to Switzerland to Italy (over a week) and they only glanced at my passport and gave zero stamps.
