Does my wife need to complete DS-156

[futballdad 0]

This is a little confusing. No where in the letter from the embassy did it ask for a complete DS-156 but yet on their website it requires the completion of DS-156 for her CR1 interview this Thursday. Can anyone shed a light please. Thanks in advance.

PS...she is very nervous right now. She's afraid her application would be denied because the last time she applied for a B1 visa (which was approved), the CO kept asking why it took me 6 months to finally apply for I-130. She told him that we didn't know that there was all this steps and red tape we had to go through. I had thought that since she is married to a USC, all we had to do is go to the embassy and applied for spouse visa....I thought wrong. But the CO didn't accept that and kept asking her why until she showed him our NOA1. Wish me luck guys.

The DS-156 is an extra form used for countries where additional security checks are done by the Embassy. It is standard in many middle eastern countries.

However, it may not be required in your wife's case and I would not panic about it. It is a one or two page form with repeated questions that were on the DS-230. Not too much trouble.

DS 156 in the Philippines is the visa apllication for K1 and Ks [Plus many more different visas.

No idea what your wifes embassy requires but just have her fill one out online anyway.

2 copies are required in PI
