DS-156 question

[wendya 0]

Hi everyone,

I have been scanning the VJ website for a little over 3 hours now and can't find answers to some questions I have regarding the DS-156 form.

If anyone could help me, I would appreciate it. Here they are:

#22 - "When do you intend to arrive in the U.S.?"

How should we answer that. We are applying for the K-1 visa and I would think he would come here shortly after his visa is issued (God willing), but we are unsure of this date for obvious reasons.

#25- "Name and telephone numbers of person in U.S. who you will be staying with or for toursim or business"

I guess he should put my address and phone number? It is for a K-1 visa not a tourist or business visa, but I guess this form is used for both those types too?

#26 - "How long do you intend to stay int he U.S.?"

What should we put here? indefinitely?

#27 - "What is the purpose fo your trip?"

To marry my fiance, right?

#32 - "Do you intend to work in the U.S.?"

Yes, he does, but we don't have anything set up yet because so much is up in the air with the timing of his arrival in the U.S. How should we answer this?

#36 - "Has anyone ever filed an Immigrant Visa Petition on your behalf?"

Well, I filed the I-129 on his behalf, do they want us to write that as the answer?

Sorry, almost over.

I was reading in the guidelines that you only send the DS-230 and the DS-2001 (checklist, signed) back to the embassy. All the other papers you bring to the interview and sign in front of the immigration officer, right?

I hope I am not forgetting anything. If there is something that anyone can add, please do.

Thank you all very much in advance for any answers to these questions.

As soon as I hit the send button, I remembered one more question. I don't have to send passport photos to my finace for this step of the process, do I? On the required documents it says, "All U.S. K Visa applicants", that is my fiance, not me. So am I correct that I do not need to send him any photos?

Thanks again.

Thank you Kitkat1 for your fast reply. I did try to get the example for, but for some reason, my computer won't let me access it from your link.

Do you know if I am correct about the passport photos? I don't have to send anymore passport photos to him for the interview, do I?

He's the applicant, not you, so he needs photos and you don't.
