DS-156 questions

[cyberfugue 0]

Will it make a difference if I fill out the DS-156 form for my wife and stepson and put my info in the field where it asks if someone else prepared the form on their behalf? Would it look better if my wife filled them out instead?

Also, for #36 - Has Anyone Ever Filed an Immigrant Visa on Your Behalf - I'm confused.

Neither of them have ever had anyone file for them before. I'm the first. So should I answer 'yes' or 'no' to that question?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

I'll try to help as best I can. I don't think you would count yourself - I believe that is meant if she used an attorney or some other third party to help her.

Are you filling it out online? I would recommend having her actually fill it out and print it herself - but you can provide her with the necessary info as each question is numbered. This is how Jinky (my fiancee) did it - we relayed back and forth as to how to answer each question. The form she used for her and her son prints out with a barcode at the bottom of the page. She's had to redo her son's a couple of times because of errors she caught later on. From what I understand, the barcode contains all the info that was entered, so if for some reason she makes an error, she can go back to the site and fill out a new one, as long as the corrected form is the one she hangs on to.

Hope that helps and makes sense.

I filled out both DS156 forms for my fiance and mailed it to her. They ended up using only the DS156 without the bar code. Her interview was last week and everything went fine. I left that field blank that asked if somebody else had filled the form up for her. They are not going to know who filled the forms out. As for question 36, it only applies if your fiance has received a visa applied for her by someone else. Hope this helps.

cyberfugue,

No difference. I did what you are proposing.

I answered 'yes' to #36, because someone had filed a visa petition for my wife - me.
