For question #28, my in-laws to be want to pay for the ticket for my lady to come to the US. The question is, should we put them on the 156? If we do, is it likely to cause issues during the interview? Also, does anyone know about, or have any samples of, resumes for the interview? My lady has a MA English and a BA Economics, and she thinks they're going to ask her for a detailed resume because she's "learned too much" This process is so STRESSFUL! I've got grey hair now, that I didn't have a year ago... And I hate second guessing every idea

I read a post about needing 2 copies of each form in english and chinese. Do I need this for a K-1? Robert -
Hello everyone. I've read through so many helpful topics here, and have read through the Guangzhou Consulate website, but the answer to this question is escaping me. There are references in several posts, that the DS-156 and/or the DS-157 Forms are needed at the medical exam. Yet, I can find no mention of this requirement in the information from the Consulate, or the excellent "Kitchen Sink" posts. Are these Forms required at the Exam? And if so, how many copies? My Fiancee will have her Exam at the end of this month, in Shanghai, and I hope that someone could clarify this, for us. Maybe I have misread something? Maybe missed something? Maybe I'm just burnt out.... -
Ok....I am sure this has been answered but I am unable to find Instructions say: Two copies of DS-156 form with original signatures (with Chinese name and telegraphic code). Two copies of DS-157 form (Only applicants aged 16 or older need to submit this form). Does this mean 2 copies in English and 2 in Chinese...or 1 copy in each language? Robert

The forms are from the K3 packet for processing a K3 visa. On the DS-156 form how to answer question 26?How long do you intend to stay in the US? Should the wife write down forever? I know this form was made for people traveling, business or going to school in the US. What is the most common answer in our case. On question 22. When do you intend to arrive in the US? Well, we have no idea since we don't know if the Visa will be approved or not and they strongly advise against buying plane tickets until the visa has been approved. Two more question that is on DS-156 and DS-230. "Do you intend to work in the US? I think we should write down No, since it asks for a employer and address, not sure though. In what occupation do you intend to work in the United States"? Is it best to write down some professional field? I'm not sure how the wife should answer this since it's kind of hard to predict what will happen. We will be filing the AOS when she arrives in the US, so it will be sometime before she even thinks about working if she choses to do so.

The DS-156 form is a little funny for K-1. First, question 25 says "Name and telephone numbers of person in U.S. who you will be staying with or visiting for tourism or business". Is it staying for good like marriage or staying for tourism or business only? Maybe it's a gramma issue. Anyway, I think my fiancee should put my info there. What is really confusing is question 36. I am the only one who has ever petitioned for my fiancee. Should we say yes to this question and put my name there? Would this confusing the consulate? Or should we put no? Any advice? Thanks!

FYI so others can avoid the same problem... We showed up in GZ with lots of confidence that things were well under control thanks to the good info CFL keeps here... However, it seems that some of the paperwork requirements changed. Formerly, it seems that GUZ let the applicant choose whether they submitted two copies of DS-156 and DS-157 in EITHER Chinese OR English. Now they insist on two copies in BOTH Chinese AND English... to be clear, this now is... * DS-156 (English) in duplicate * DS-156 (Chinese) in duplicate * DS-157 (English) in duplicate * DS-157 (Chinese) in duplicate I'm still recovering from the mopslap I got... and it cost me an extra day in Guangzhou. At least the kind folks at the Consulate let us come back the next day with updated papers. Mods may want to mention to USCONSGUZ that the GUZ forms page currently has an older copy of the "Letter to K1/K3 Applicant" that doesn't reflect the changed requirements. -
Hi guys, We have a disagreement over whether the passport style photos are are suppose to be attached to the DS-156 or not. I could swear, I remember reading that the people taking the documents attaches them, but I can't find it. Qingyun is showing me a letter dated 2003 that says you should attach the photos by stapling, glueing or taping. Help us out here! Thanks! Jeff

I have read the below message on the consulate website.. which states that the DS-157 only needs to be submitted in english (the chinese version does not have to be filled out). 1. Is this applicable to K-# visa applicants? 2. If #1 is yes, is this also true of the DS-156? ---- DS-157 Supplemental Nonimmigrant Visa Application All applicants 16 years of age and older must complete the DS-157 application form, which is one page. Click here to download the DS-157 form, type your answers in the space provided below each item and print out the completed form. You don't need to fill out a Chinese DS-157, but if you need its Chinese translation to help understand the English form, click here. (Note: When filling out Item 3 'Full Name (In Native Alphabet)', Chinese applicants should write down their full name in Chinese characters. Chinese applicants must also fill out items 5, 6, 7, 12 & 17 in Chinese characters.)
