Look at the Example Forms at the top of VisaJourney.com where it says "Example Forms".

If a form says:

DO NOT SIGN this form until instructed to do so by the consular officer

then don't sign it

Websters dictionary says, when looking for tact:

Tact: The opposite of "Kitkat's" typical response on VJ.

This forum is to encourage and assist. Not belittle or annoy.

My apologies to the moderators. But, in the immortal words of Popeye, "That's all I can stands and I can't stands no more..."

Some answers don't actually need to be posted as they can easily be found by reading the guides and following the instructions.

The forms make is extremely clear; if you are not meant to sign the form, there are BIG BOLD BLACK LETTERS to indicate that you should not sign the form.

When you have continually provided answers to questions like this for a year, perhaps you will understand my straightforward and direct response. I'm not going to spoon feed when answers are easily available - I prefer to direct Ariesgurl to where she can actually read and locate the answers to her questions herself.

base On People Who Have Done with Interview......Im Just trying to Be Sure ...wont hurt to be prepard and be ready for it!!!!

This has nothing to do with what other people have done at their interview. The answer is very clear and is actually provided for you directly on the form. All you need to do is read the form to find the answer.

How Would Newbies like us will know that you've been asnwering same anwers to questions for over a year? People who are new here are asking things that need to be sure not to messed everything up....My Friend that have just done with her interview this month and i go with her to teh embassy didnt sign all the paperwork until the day of her interview, thats why im asking if I can sign ahead base on people who have done or been thru their inerviews.....If You think your tired asnwering same questions then you dnt have to answer them if you will just try to be rude and mean to people....We're new here thats why we want to ask info and help from people who are willing to give info or help us! If You find some quess annoying then better ignore it than being rude and mean to newbies.....I'm Sorry but It's not because your old member here then you should be like that to New Member....I'm Sorry But I have just read some of the post you have answered to new people here and I just cant stand watching it how you were rude and mean sometiems to them.....

You may think KK is mean, but she's not. READ THE PAPERS, if it says sign, SIGN it. It's not hard. Any adult can figure this out.

When a form says DO NOT SIGN, that should be something every VJer can read & understand. KK is not out of line. Too many VJers don't search or read guides.

Thats Why I Clarify If DS156 is The Only Form Need Not To be Signed!!! Atleast People Who Answer Quess can try to be Nice in Giving Info to New Members.....Me and Fiancee talked about which form is to be signed or not but I Suggest that I can try to Ask VJ Site to be Sure and Wont hurt to Ask and try to be sure .....NObody's Perfect and KNows Everything!!! There's nothing wrong of asking help but atleast Say It in a nice way!!! We ask here bcuz we trust VJ Members can help Us.....If She Didn't mention about the Example Forms then I wouldn't know about it, atleast that helps too!!! But Atleast Say it in a Nice Way....Anyway Goodluck to Everyone!!! Not All Members have to Sit and monitor On Pc All the time and Just read Everything written here though.... Most people Might Missed the topic and didnt know it has already been asked by other Member! Sometimes We also have to understand that some of Us has no PC and has a hectic and busy schedule at work but still trying to post any quess that they think VJ member can help and Give Info to them or atleast Guide Them.....Goodluck To EveryBody and Best Wishes!!!

When you have continually provided answers to questions like this for a year, perhaps you will understand my straightforward and direct response.

You seem to be missing the point.

I explained the reason for my straightforward and direct response. I did not say I expect you to know that I have been answering questions for over a year.

This is not a confusing question that needs to be confirmed with VJ members who have been through the interview because it's completely clear on the form. All you need to do is read the instructions on the form and the section in big black letters.

If you don't like my advice, don't take it. Wait until someone else tells you exactly the same thing - the answer is on the form.

Too many exclamation points can be a bit out of control as well.

And READ THE FORMS or SEARCH before asking questions.

Dear Liza,

You can fill out and sign Form DS-230 Part I only; you can also complete Part II up to item # 35, but you shouldn't write anything in the 35 question case (meaning you mustn't sign it before the interview).

Then you have to complete DS-156 in duplicate; do not sign it, you will do it in front of the Consular Officer.

Form DS-156k can also be filled out beforehand, but signed during the interview.

As for SEO-97, I'm afraid I can't give you any piece of advice, it's probably specific to the US Consulate in Seoul.

Good luck!

Thanks So Much Callina! That's A Big Help Goodluck And Best Wishes to You Pls Keep Me Posted of How Your Interview Goes....I was Surprised When The Embassy Called me and Give Me My Interview Schedule they told me I can leave By Dec.18 It only take them 2 Days after the interview and You can have your Visa By Mail....Im Happy that EMbassy here are Nice And Friendly! They are quick on replying Inquiries I Guess they misunderstood Us! When we send them the Packet 3 back thru Fax, we Inform them if they could give us Early Interview Between 18-29 December So, My Fiance could be at My Inteview But they Understood it that I wanted to leave For US By Dec. 18 Which Is A Good thing cuz they gave us Earlier Schedule than Expected! Which Is Goodnews For Me and My Fiance

[Callina 1]

I also want to thank you, Liza! You've been such a good friend and support to many people here. It's fantastic news that you can leave for the States earlier than you had expected. You will be spending Christmas with your loved one there!

Look at the Example Forms at the top of VisaJourney.com where it says "Example Forms".

If a form says:

DO NOT SIGN this form until instructed to do so by the consular officer

then don't sign it

In Kitkat's defense, she is correct in directing people to the guidelines and Examples. More people need to do this before asking the same questions that was asked only 3 post before theirs or has been asked several time in the same forum. It is even worse when the impatient ones repeatedly post the same question in several forums or the same forum without waitng for responses. I do not mind direction and do not require tact... but I have been in the military for 21 years and getting to the point is always the best policy.

In defense of Ariesgurl, the example forms do not state DO NOT SIGN this form until instructed to do so by the consular officer they do however state not to write below this line and you will be instructed by the consulte.

I would play it safe and only sign things that need to be notarized prior to the interview. There is no problem with wating to sign all the forms at the interview but sigining the wrong form before you are supposed to might? Ken & Maria
